You will report directly to the Regional Design Lead, and your role will be to provide superior quality Engineering Design services to allow the company to minimise risks and maximise profits on turnkey and engineering services contracts. You will co-ordinate the design and produce design documents and drawings taking due account of health and safety requirements, specifications and standards pertaining to the contract.

Key responsibilities will include:

Produce design layouts which are cost effective, meet the requirements of the specification and which can be constructed and commissioned effectively. The term ‘cost’ is to embrace all costs associated with the design and the subsequent construction of the design. To be cost effective the whole out-turn cost of the design solution must be considered including design time costs, material costs, erection costs and any impact that the design solution might have on other disciplines.

Ensure that standard practices are utilised wherever possible.

Maintain competitiveness

Provide estimates and feedback for Proposals department

Work to procedures and processes to ensure the continuing development of the department

Assist in developing procedures and processes.

Monitor and review the procedures and processes.
