You will have a strong awareness of the commercial aspects to project delivery such as project timescales and change control.

You will enjoy working at various levels of process design, from concept studies and front-end engineering to detailed design. You will be experienced in front end engineering delivery (FEED) and have a drive to continually improve our methods and standards.

In addition to having effective communication and leadership skills, you will be able to demonstrate the following desirable experience and attributes:

• Degree in Chemical Engineering or similar.
• Experience of delivering process engineering projects (Pre-FEED, FEED or EPC) within a highly regulated industry.
