The Opportunity
You will play a pivotal role in transforming process designs into fully operational infrastructure. Working across engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, and commissioning, you'll be responsible for ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and according to specification.
This role is ideal for a practical engineer who enjoys balancing technical expertise, project management, and stakeholder engagement while seeing projects through from conception to completion.
What You'll Be Doing
* Managing the full execution and delivery of engineering projects
* Coordinating timelines, resources, budgets, and project milestones
* Acting as the technical link between engineers, draughtsmen, fabricators, site teams, and clients
* Reviewing 3D plant layouts, piping systems, structural steel designs, and mechanical specifications
* Evaluating vendor submissions and ensuring compliance with engineering and quality standards
* Leading Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) activities
* Overseeing mechanical installation, equipment alignment, and site construction activities
* Managing Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) and mechanical handover for commissioning
* Driving project success while maintaining quality, safety, and cost objectives
Who We're Looking For
You're not simply an engineer. You're a problem-solver, coordinator, and project leader who understands both the technical and practical realities of large-scale industrial projects.
