- Supporting recruitment, onboarding, and expansion of engineering and design capability.
- Overseeing engineering design activities using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
- Reviewing technical drawings, specifications, and engineering documentation.
- Developing and implementing engineering procedures, drawing controls, and quality processes.
- Coordinating workload planning, resource allocation, and project priorities across engineering and workshop functions.
- Working closely with senior management to align engineering output with business objectives and growth plans.
- Supporting fabrication, installation, and operational activities when required.
- Attending site visits and providing technical support for ongoing projects and client requirements.
- Monitoring engineering quality, compliance, and technical standards across projects.
- Driving continuous improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency, workflow, and project delivery.
- Liaising with clients, suppliers, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders.
- Ensuring all activities are completed in accordance with health & safety procedures and company standards.
