We offer the close working relationships, practical delivery focus and visibility of a specialist engineering business, alongside the scale, backing and long-term career opportunities of RSK Group.

- Translate project programmes, maintenance plans and operational priorities into clear expectations for Chargehands, Field Engineers, technicians and subcontractors.
- Lead the safe and effective delivery of installation, maintenance, repair, testing, commissioning and asset-improvement activity.
- Set clear standards for safety, productivity, quality, conduct and customer service, monitoring performance and addressing gaps promptly and fairly.
- Coordinate labour, subcontractors, plant, materials, equipment and specialist support across current and upcoming workstreams.
- Work closely with Project Managers, Project Engineers and Maintenance Planners to develop realistic resource plans, manage delivery risks and maintain progress.
- Ensure compliance with RAMS, permits, safe systems of work, client requirements and WGM procedures through regular field inspections and performance reviews.
- Provide clear reporting on progress, productivity, resources, team performance, HSEQ, quality and delivery risks, while supporting continuous improvement and right-first-time delivery.
