Petrochemical & Oil, Gas
Hull
Full time, permanent
Are you a proven electrical engineering leader who enjoys taking ownership, setting standards and shaping how a discipline operates? This is an opportunity to head up the electrical function within a growing engineering, procurement and construction specialist that delivers complex projects across oil and gas, petrochemical, energy and other high-hazard process industries.
This business is a new breed of EPC provider, taking next-generation energy concepts and turning them into operational reality through innovative engineering, smart use of digital tools and close partnership with clients and vendors. They challenge traditional ways of delivering projects to unlock operational and commercial efficiencies, and their consulting team is viewed as a technical centre of excellence within the wider group.
