Strong technical expertise across power distribution and building services systems
Experience managing design coordination and multidisciplinary interfaces
Confident leader with the ability to mentor and develop engineering teams
Strong communicator with a proactive, solutions-focused mindset

Why This Role Stands Out

Step into a visible leadership role on high-profile, technically complex projects
Influence both engineering quality and project outcomes
Work within a collaborative environment where your expertise is valued

Clear path for continued career progression and leadership growth
