  • You will elevate vendor selection and subcontract strategy through rigorous technical evaluation and strong negotiation influence.

  • You will guarantee safety‑compliant, standards‑aligned designs, eliminating risk, rework, and downstream issues.

  • You will audit all design packages for accuracy, constructability, and cost impact before release to the field.

  • You will validate vendor compliance, including witnessing factory acceptance tests to protect equipment quality and project reliability.

  • You will partner closely with the Project Manager to strengthen scope control, procurement execution, schedule accuracy, and change management.

  • You will champion quality and document control, ensuring clean, traceable, and audit‑ready engineering records.

  • You will lead all customer technical engagements, securing approvals and resolving design issues with speed and authority.

  • You will unblock construction by responding to site technical questions and closing NCRs quickly, decisively, and safely.

Who you are?

  • You bring 8+ years of engineering or project management experience, ideally within an EPC environment, giving you the practical insight and leadership skills needed to drive complex energy‑infrastructure projects forward.

  • You hold a BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent), providing the technical foundation to make informed decisions, solve complex challenges, and lead with confidence in a highly technical setting.

  • Take clear ownership of engineering budgets and decisions.

  • Consistently uphold contract requirements, quality, and safety.

  • Bring strong technical judgment and a collaborative mindset.

  • Help teams deliver reliable results that support a sustainable energy future.
