- Own end-to-end delivery of multiple engineering workstreams, from scope and feasibility through commissioning and handover (true cradle-to-grave CAPEX projects).

- Coordinate suppliers, contractors, and internal teams (Ops, Engineering, Quality, H&S) using proactive stakeholder management and crisp communication.
- Lead site activity planning: method statements, risk assessments, installation readiness, and safe execution during shutdowns or live environments.
- Track progress, manage risks/issues, and keep documentation tight so projects land compliantly and sustainably.
- Proven experience delivering CAPEX projects / engineering change in a manufacturing, industrial, or asset-heavy environment.
- Strong stakeholder management—you can influence without authority and keep multiple teams aligned.
- Solid project management fundamentals (scope, budget, schedule, risk, change control), with the confidence to challenge assumptions.
- Practical engineering mindset: comfortable on-site, close to equipment/processes, and happy coordinating contractors and suppliers.
- Clear written documentation skills (plans, reports, handover packs) and a safety-first approach in everything you do.
