Senior Project Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Engineer to lead the technical delivery of complex engineering projects from initial planning through to completion. The successful candidate will coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage technical interfaces, and ensure that projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and in accordance with agreed scope, budget, schedule, and quality standards. This role will involve working closely with clients, contractors, suppliers, consultants, and internal stakeholders to resolve issues and maintain strong project performance.
Key responsibilities will include developing and reviewing engineering designs, specifications, calculations, technical reports, and project documentation; coordinating design reviews and approvals; monitoring progress against milestones; and identifying and managing technical risks, variations, and potential delays. You will provide engineering guidance to project teams, support procurement and contractor selection, review bids and technical submissions, and oversee installation, testing, commissioning, and handover activities where required. The role will also involve ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, industry standards, health and safety requirements, environmental obligations, and quality procedures. You will contribute to project reporting, cost control, lessons learned, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in an appropriate engineering discipline and have substantial experience delivering engineering or construction projects in a senior technical capacity. Professional registration or chartered status would be advantageous. You will need a strong understanding of project management principles, contract administration, risk management, design coordination, and change control, together with the ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications, and commercial documentation. Excellent communication, negotiation, organisation, and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the confidence to make sound decisions in a demanding project environment. Experience with relevant engineering software, project management systems, and collaborative document platforms will be beneficial. A proactive approach, strong attention to detail, and the ability to lead others while managing competing priorities are key to success in this position.
