  • Experience leading EIC scopes across multi-discipline projects through all project phases.
  • Solid technical knowledge of HV/LV systems, electrical protection, safety in design and control system integration.
  • Ability to interpret and review design documentation such as single line diagrams, P&IDs, control philosophies, and equipment datasheets.
  • Strong understanding of project delivery principles – cost, schedule, procurement, quality, and risk management.
  • SAP experience (advantageous).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to engage confidently across all stakeholder levels.

What's on Offer

  • Long-term rolling contract with a major owner-operator
  • Competitive daily rate
  • Opportunity to work on large-scale, technically challenging projects
