What You’ll Be Doing
In this role, you’ll be instrumental in supporting the delivery teams with the execution of the Temporary Modifications Process. You’ll coordinate and lead regular meetings with key stakeholders, ensuring alignment and progress across the programme. Your input will help maintain high standards of safety, quality, and compliance.
You’ll also provide training and guidance to commissioning teams, sharing your expertise to build capability and confidence. By conducting technical assurance and identifying potential risks, you’ll help safeguard the integrity of the commissioning process.
Using internal data tools, you’ll generate reports and insights that drive continuous improvement. You’ll also contribute to refining the process itself, enhancing efficiency, supporting regulatory compliance, and helping to industrialise our approach. Plus, you’ll gain exposure to other key areas like design change, issue management, and test result verification.
Who You Are
You bring a strong foundation in engineering; ideally with a degree in mechanical, chemical, or process engineering and have experience working in operational or design environments. Perhaps you’ve worked as a Process Engineer, Project Engineer, or in a plant-based role supporting engineering processes. You understand how technical systems operate in real-world settings and can apply that knowledge to support commissioning activities from an engineering perspective.
Your background may include experience in mechanical or chemical process systems, and you’re comfortable engaging with cross-functional teams to solve complex problems.
You’re someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, where your input helps shape processes and improve outcomes. Whether you’re supporting MEH activities or advising on technical design work, you’re driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact on a project that matters.
Closing date for applications is 12th August; interviews will follow shortly after.
Additionally, you must meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which generally requires you to have been a UK resident for at least 3 of the last 5 years.
