• Coordinate on‑site contractors and suppliers to ensure timely, compliant, and safe execution of project tasks.
• Support and enable equipment qualification and validation activities in collaboration with cross‑functional teams, including the development, review, and execution of validation protocols (DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ), ensuring alignment with internal process requirements and compliance with regulatory and quality standards.
• Support change control processes for projects by identifying and escalating project scope or design changes appropriately.
• Support commissioning activities and ensure the prompt resolution and close‑out of any identified snags or deficiencies to enable smooth project handover.
• Maintain organised and up‑to‑date project documentation, including technical drawings, specifications, and installation records.
• Foster a proactive, safety‑focused culture within project teams and across all on‑site activities.

Requirements

• Strong communication, organisational, and problem‑solving skills.
• HNC/HND or demonstrable equivalent experience in Mechanical, Electrical, or related engineering disciplines.
• Experience delivering multidisciplinary engineering projects in regulated or manufacturing environments.
• Skilled in the development and review of technical documentation, including factory layouts, technical drawings and specifications. Proficiency in the use of AutoCAD is highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, equipment, and engineering standards.
• Ability to manage risks, resolve issues, and support root cause analysis.
• Experience tracking budgets, schedules, and resources to ensure timely, cost‑effective project delivery.
• Knowledge of continuous improvement practices.
• Strong focus on health, safety, and environmental compliance.
• Effective stakeholder engagement, including internal workstreams, equipment suppliers and contractor coordination.
• Competent in maintaining clear documentation and reporting.
