What You've Got:

  • Expertise and Experience:
    • A solid engineering and business leadership background where you have owned commercial outcomes.
    • You've worked in an asset-heavy portfolio where you developed engineering into a competitive advantage.
    • You understand that innovation, investment, and modernising engineering practices must be balanced with the commercial reality of heavy CAPEX investment, making ROI a key consideration.
  • Leadership: Proven experience in leading large teams. You're not just a manager; you're a leader who inspires and motivates.
  • Innovation Spark: A knack for driving innovative practices and rallying your teams to drive transformation projects.
  • Strategy: You can see the big picture and the tiny details all at once. Planning and executing brilliant strategies is your forte.
  • Qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, with a preference for Civil, Structural, or Mechanical. At least 10 years of experience in engineering, including a minimum of 5 years in strategic leadership roles within the utilities or related industries.

Why Join?

  • Great People: Work with some of the best minds in the business who'll challenge and inspire you every day.
  • Impact: The flexibility to bring change and innovate with an experienced team. This isn't just a job; it's your chance to leave a legacy.
