To be successful in this role, you have expertise in managing projects from design through to delivery and the ability to oversee financial budgets effectively. A sound knowledge of Health and Safety legislation, such as IOSH Managing Safely or NEBOSH certifications, is crucial, along with an in-depth understanding of statutory requirements, including H&S (COMAH/DSEAR) and Environmental standards. Familiarity with working within ATEX areas or knowledge of DSEAR regulations, as well as an understanding of protection concepts for ATEX zones, is also essential. You have knowledge equivalent to BS 7671 Wiring Regulations (18th Edition) and a broad understanding of LV distribution systems, motor control centers, control panels, and electrical installation practices, with HV experience being an advantage. Competency in managing electrical drawings using AutoCAD or similar tools is required, along with experience in instrumentation such as level, flow, temperature, and pressure. Knowledge of various wiring systems (e.g., Asi, Ethernet IP, analogue loops) and IT wiring systems is also important. Additionally, the role demands excellent influencing and communication skills, as well as the ability to engage and collaborate with key stakeholders effectively. Proficiency in key business systems, such as Office 365, AutoCAD, and SAP, is essential to support the high level of PC literacy required for the role.

Highly desirable skills and experience include a background in distillation or process-related industries, proficiency in project management software such as MS Project, and awareness of High Voltage Electrical Systems. Additional qualifications, such as CompEx Ex01–Ex04 (Gas and Vapours), Ex05–Ex06 (Dust), and Ex12 (Application Design Engineer), are advantageous. Experience in engineering within an Upper Tier CoMAH site is also highly valued.
