You will manage multidisciplinary engineering teams, coordinate internal and external stakeholders, and ensure that projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on schedule and in accordance with contractual, regulatory and quality requirements.
Key responsibilities will include establishing project engineering strategies, reviewing scopes and technical specifications, managing design consultants and contractors, and overseeing design integration across civil, mechanical, electrical, process and control disciplines. You will monitor engineering progress, budgets, risks and deliverables, resolve technical issues, and support commercial and programme management activities. The role will also involve leading design reviews, constructability assessments, value engineering initiatives and technical assurance processes, while maintaining clear communication with clients, delivery partners, regulators and operational teams.
