  • Inject innovative, cost‑smart engineering solutions that boost performance and simplify complexity.

  • Elevate vendor selection and subcontract strategy through decisive technical evaluation and negotiation influence.

  • Guarantee safety‑compliant, standards‑aligned designs, eliminating risk and rework.

  • Audit all design packages for accuracy, constructability, and cost impact before they reach the field.

  • Validate vendor compliance, witnessing factory tests to protect equipment quality and project reliability.

  • Strengthen project delivery by partnering with the PM on scope control, procurement, schedule accuracy, and change management.

  • Champion quality and document control, ensuring clean, traceable, audit‑ready engineering records.

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

  • Unblock construction by answering site technical questions and closing NCRs quickly 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.
