This is a newly created position designed to strengthen our technical capability and create a clear development pathway into Project Engineering.
You'll receive support, training, and exposure to increasingly complex engineering projects, giving you every opportunity to progress your career into a Senior Project Engineer role.
You'll join a collaborative engineering team where your ideas are valued, your contribution is recognised and your development genuinely matters.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary
