  • Career Legacy: The chance to put a mega-scale renewable energy project on your resume that will stand as a benchmark for decades.

Who We Are Looking For

This role requires a heavy-hitter who can command a site with authority, deep technical knowledge, and sharp commercial acumen.

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering (Chartered or Professional Engineer status is a massive plus).
  • Experience: Minimum of 15+ years in heavy civil infrastructure, with at least 5-7 years specifically managing large-scale Hydropower or major tunneling/dam projects.
  • Leadership: A proven track record of managing international joint-venture contractors and navigating complex EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contracts.
  • Adaptability: Previous experience working in developing regions or remote, high-intensity project sites.

Confidential Inquiries

Because of the highly strategic nature of this mega-project, all applications and initial discussions will be held in the strictest confidence.

If you are ready to command a world-class site and secure a top-tier financial package, we want to hear from you.
