  • Understands British Standards, approvals, third-party certification and design risk
  • Can think three steps ahead of site, commissioning, and maintenance teams
  • Is commercially aware - design decisions affect cost, programme and margin
  • Communicates with authority, not noise

This role suits a professional who:

  • Is trusted when things are complicated

  • Doesn’t need supervision to do the right thing
  • Takes pride in getting it right the first time
  • Wants influence, not just responsibility

A highly competitive package is available, reflecting the level of technical ownership and leadership required.

All conversations handled in strict confidence.
