• Champion safe working practices across all project phases.

Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead multidisciplinary project teams, fostering strong collaboration between engineering, design, installation, and commissioning functions.
• Oversee subcontractor performance and ensure seamless integration with internal teams.
• Promote a culture of continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and accountability.
• Conduct regular coordination meetings for multi‑disciplinary teams working on major industrial installations.

Commercial & Financial Management

• Monitor financial performance throughout the project lifecycle, controlling costs and identifying opportunities for efficiencies.
• Work closely with commercial and finance teams to ensure timely invoicing, reporting, and contractual compliance.
• Manage significant project budgets and collaborate with finance teams on high‑value industrial contracts.

Quality, Safety & Compliance

• Uphold rigorous quality standards and ensure all deliverables meet regulatory and client specifications.
• Drive adherence to health, safety, and environmental regulations, particularly around ammonia and CO₂ refrigeration systems.

Client Engagement & Relationship Management

• Act as the key point of contact for clients, building trusted relationships and providing regular, transparent updates.
• Manage client expectations effectively, resolving challenges and ensuring satisfaction throughout delivery.
• Support business growth by identifying opportunities for repeat business and future industrial projects.

Requirements

• Degree in Engineering or related discipline (advanced qualification desirable).
• Proven track record managing large‑scale industrial refrigeration projects, ideally with exposure to ammonia and/or large‑scale CO₂ systems.
• In‑depth knowledge of refrigeration, HVAC, and industrial cooling technologies.
• Strong project management skills, with experience in planning, risk management, resource allocation, and financial control.
