  * Previous experience leading or managing technical and design teams.

  * Strong technical knowledge of large-scale heating and energy systems, including technologies such as heat pumps, boilers, CHP, chillers, heat exchangers, and air handling units.

  * Experience delivering engineering projects from concept through to completion.

  * Understanding of regulatory compliance requirements associated with infrastructure and industrial projects.

  * Knowledge of energy efficiency and decarbonisation solutions, including renewable technologies and building performance improvements.

  * Strong project management, planning, and organisational skills.
