• Act as the primary interface with the client, managing communications and contractual obligations with professionalism and clarity.
• Promote continuous improvement, mentor your team, and champion a strong health and safety culture by leading through example.
  
  

To succeed in this role, you will need:

• Ideally a qualification in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline, along with Project Management Professional (PMP) or Association for Project Management (APM) certification.
• Proven experience managing complex EPC projects, with strong expertise in NEC3 contract management (essential).
• Excellent commercial acumen, including negotiation, dispute resolution, and contract change management skills.
• Exceptional leadership, stakeholder engagement, and communication skills focused on delivering outstanding customer value.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary
• Annual performance-related bonus aligned with individual and company performance
