You will combine strong technical capability with excellent communication and consulting skills.

You’ll likely have:

  • Around 5–10 years’ experience delivering complex engineering or construction projects.
  • Experience within mission-critical, industrial, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, or similarly complex environments.
  • A sound understanding of mechanical, electrical, or integrated building systems.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
  • Experience managing multiple priorities while working collaboratively across diverse teams.
  • A degree in engineering, construction, or a related technical discipline. Professional accreditation is advantageous but not essential.
