• Take responsibility for time, budget, progress, and quality within your discipline across projects;
• Lead the development of key deliverables such as P&IDs, mass & heat balances, equipment and line lists, process calculations, safety studies, and datasheets;
• Provide technical leadership to a multidisciplinary team in front-end consultancy, feasibility, concept, and basic engineering projects;
• Engage with contractors and suppliers, assess offers, supervise execution, and coordinate with external engineering partners and internal teams.
