This role involves challenging and innovating current engineering standards to incorporate advancing technologies, identifying hazards and mitigation strategies under Health and Safety/CDM requirements, and maintaining professional relationships with contractors, peers, and internal customers.

• Strong technical report writing, editorial, and oral communication skills.
• Ability to identify and resolve defects and liaise effectively with diverse stakeholders.
• Competence in reviewing documents such as O&M manuals, RAMS, SAT, and commissioning plans.

It will be a bonus if you have:

• Working towards EngTech or Incorporated Engineer status.
• Knowledge of PLC, HMI, and VSD equipment and their applications.
• Basic online PLC/HMI code verification.
• Understanding of PLC control networks, SCADA/Telemetry solutions, and NIS Regulations related to site-based software infrastructure.
• Willingness to train in skill sets not currently held.
• Familiarity with Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Slides).

Benefits package:

• Excellent Stakeholder pension scheme, up to 10% employer contribution.
• 5 weeks holiday plus bank holidays per annum, increasing to 6 weeks with length of service.
