  • Supervising process engineers and managing man‑hours, deliverables and schedule
  • Owning key process deliverables and ensuring compliance, accuracy and quality

  • Bringing strong technical judgement to design reviews, calculations and client discussions

 

What you’ll bring

  • Degree in Chemical Engineering
  • Strong design experience across FEED and detailed design
  • Confidence producing, reviewing and approving core process deliverables
  • Experience in hydraulic calculations, relief systems, and equipment specifications
  • Ability to guide engineers, work collaboratively and communicate clearly

 

Why this role?

A high‑profile project. A genuinely autonomous remit. A chance to make a tangible impact over the next six months - with the potential for more.
