This is a client-side role for someone who enjoys being close to the project, making decisions, coordinating multiple stakeholders and keeping delivery moving.
You will be working in Northern Ireland, with regular travel across Europe, taking responsibility for projects across the complete Engineering lifecycle, feasibility, design, planning, delivery and handover.
