MISSIONS

As an Engineering Project Manager, you will lead a decarbonization and energy efficiency program for a major industrial site.

On a daily basis, your ability to explain things simply will be essential to translate and simplify technical requirements for all stakeholders. Finally, working independently from London, you will organize your workload to guarantee the progress of the works. You will ensure clear communication with the teams in France, participate in feedback sessions, and support the development of junior staff.
