Job description

Lead Engineer – Front-End Engineering / FEED

Assignment period: 1 December 2026–1 December 2027

Location: Copenhagen Area

About the position

Solvexis Consult is looking for an experienced Lead Engineer to support the early development of an energy project.

You will lead and coordinate front-end engineering activities, helping translate project objectives into a clear technical basis for detailed engineering and construction. The role involves evaluating concepts, defining requirements and coordinating input from engineering disciplines, technology providers and project stakeholders.

We are looking for a senior technical engineer with practical experience in Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), technical evaluations and multidisciplinary engineering coordination.

Responsibilities

• Leading and coordinating engineering activities during concept development, feasibility studies and FEED.
• Developing and comparing technical solutions against project requirements, cost, safety, operability and constructability.
• Assessing technical feasibility and providing engineering input to financial viability assessments.
• Preparing and reviewing design documentation, high-level technical specifications and requirements for equipment and systems.
• Coordinating engineering disciplines and resolving technical interfaces, assumptions and outstanding decisions.
• Supporting CAPEX estimates, project schedules and the definition of engineering deliverables.
• Identifying technical, safety, operational and commercial risks and contributing to mitigation measures.
• Evaluating technologies and potential suppliers, including reviewing technical proposals.
• Working closely with the client, engineering consultants, technology providers and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors.
• Preparing a clear and documented handover into detailed engineering and construction.

Qualifications and experience

• A relevant engineering degree, such as mechanical, electrical, process, chemical or energy systems engineering.
• Significant experience in early-stage engineering development within the energy sector.
• Proven experience delivering FEED studies, feasibility assessments and technical concept evaluations.
• Experience leading technical work and coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Strong skills in preparing and reviewing technical specifications and design documentation.
• Experience supporting cost estimates, project planning and technical risk assessments.
• The ability to assess competing solutions and communicate clear, well-supported recommendations.
• Experience collaborating with clients, engineering consultants, suppliers and EPC contractors.
• A structured approach to managing technical interfaces, decisions and deliverables.

Please clearly describe your technical specialism and relevant energy project experience in your application. This may include Power-to-X, hydrogen, wind energy, electrical infrastructure, district heating, power generation or energy storage.

Personal qualities

You combine sound technical judgement with a practical understanding of project delivery. You are comfortable working with incomplete information during early project development, making assumptions explicit and identifying what needs to be resolved before the project progresses.

You communicate effectively across disciplines and take ownership of the quality and timely delivery of engineering work.

What we offer

At Solvexis, you will be supported throughout your assignment through structured onboarding, administrative support and regular follow-up.

You will contribute to the technical development of an energy project, helping establish the decisions and requirements that guide its subsequent delivery.

Employment terms will be agreed based on your qualifications, experience and the conditions of the assignment.
