Job description

Together with your team of Lead Engineers, Engineers and Designers, you are responsible for the delivery of single and multi-discipline engineering, EPCM or EPC projects.

The projects will vary in complexity and size, delivered for all the major sectors (Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Energy, Utilities, Chemicals, Petrochemicals and Food).

You are responsible to manage and complete the projects within budget and planning. This includes change control, profit and loss. You will manage engineering projects, where you will take complete ownership of your projects. A project is only completed after the last invoice has been paid by the client. Depending on size and complexity you may manage one project or a portfolio of projects. Projects can be stand-alone engineering projects, where you will be Bilfinger's focal point in front of the client, or your project can also be the engineering scope of a Bilfinger EPCM / EPC project.

• Control budget and planning, including change control and profit and loss responsibilities.
• Take complete ownership of your engineering projects and ensure successful delivery.
• Ensure project completion is achieved after final invoicing is received from the client.
• Determine whether a project is standalone or part of a portfolio of projects.
• Act as Bilfinger's client-facing focal point or lead the engineering scope within Bilfinger EPCM/EPC projects.

• Experience and understanding of common standard forms of contract (NEC3 and 4, FIDIC, etc.).
• Result oriented; aims for client acceptance and high-quality delivery with client satisfaction.
• Ability to plan and organise activities, understand dependencies within and between disciplines, and maintain a "one time right" mentality.
• Capable of identifying growth opportunities within the company with support to sales, business management, procedures and strategies.
