You will be able to effectively delegate tasks and quality check the technical calculations and reports of others. 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.

Desirable experience and attributes include:

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