  • Provide technical problem‑solving throughout the project lifecycle, identifying and managing risks and opportunities.
  • Assist with pre‑contract design work.
  • Capture and share lessons learned with the Design Team and Discipline Design Managers.
  • Manage and support multi‑disciplinary Design Engineers.
  • Mentor and develop the design team, fostering knowledge sharing and professional accreditation.
Person Specifics

  • Experienced in developing Control Philosophies and Commissioning Plans; HAZOP leadership and DSEAR exposure desirable.
  • Degree‑qualified Engineer (or equivalent) with preference for Chartered status and solid consultancy/contracting experience.
  • Competent in checking and approving design packages, with good commercial awareness and strong knowledge of H&S legislation and British Standards.
  • Excellent communicator with strong stakeholder management, negotiation and influencing skills.
  • Confident using Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and cost/performance systems.
  • Provides clear leadership and support to the design team, driving results while maintaining high attention to detail.
  • Flexible, collaborative, and aligned with the values, bringing strong problem‑solving skills and an openness to innovation.
  • Able to organise workload effectively, work independently or in a team, and build positive relationships by adapting communication style.
