• Engineering degree (BEng / MSc) (desirable).

• Strong knowledge of engineering delivery processes and change control.

• Experience in EC&I engineering design from concept to detail.

• Ability to perform EC&I engineering calculations.

• Experience managing or participating in design reviews.

• Proficiency in 2D/3D CAD tools (e.g. Solid Works or similar).

• Knowledge of technical document control, configuration, and issue management.

• Experience producing technical reports for internal and external stakeholders.

• Strong understanding of relevant industry standards and regulations.

• Commitment to continuous improvement and learning from experience.
