  • Commercial awareness with experience managing project costs and forecasts.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the ability to overcome challenges and keep projects moving.
It would be advantageous if you have:

  • An engineering qualification.
  • Experience within heavy engineering or industrial manufacturing.
  • Knowledge of ERP systems and NEC contracts.
  • Previous experience supporting installation and commissioning activities.
