• Support business growth by providing technical expertise for proposals, tenders, and feasibility studies.

What We’re Looking For

Essential

• 3+ years project engineering experience in LPG, Industrial Gases, Oil & Gas, or related energy sectors
• Strong knowledge of LPG system design, storage, and distribution infrastructure
• In-depth understanding of IGEM / UP Codes of Practice (UP / 1, UP / 2, UP / 10, UP / 16) and UK LPG regulations
• Proficiency in 2D AutoCAD and ability to interpret / create P&IDs and technical schematics
• Project management qualification (Prince2, APM, PMI, or equivalent)
• Excellent communication skills with ability to translate technical information for diverse audiences
• Full UK driving licence (national site travel required)

Highly Desirable

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, or Process Engineering
