  * Monitor project progress, identify issues and support corrective actions to maintain delivery against plans.

  * Prepare and maintain documentation including project plans, status reports, technical specifications and handover packs.

  * Undertake site inspections, surveys and technical verification as required.

  * Ensure compliance with health, safety and quality standards throughout project lifecycles.

  * Provide technical support and troubleshooting during installation, commissioning and handover phases.

  * Support continuous improvement of project delivery processes and standards.

  * Be prepared to contribute hands-on when required, including practical engineering tasks or site-based work.

Person Specification

Essential

  * Engineering qualification (HNC, HND, BEng/BSc or equivalent) or equivalent practical experience in engineering/project delivery.

  * Practical experience contributing to engineering or capital projects in industrial, research or technical environments.

  * Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple tasks.

  * Good communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to work collaboratively across teams.

  * Ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications and engineering documentation.

  * Commitment to health, safety and environmental compliance.

Desirable

  * Experience with project management software (e.g., Microsoft Project, Primavera, Asana, Smartsheet).

  * Familiarity with project control tools for scheduling, budgeting and reporting.

  * Knowledge of engineering standards and regulatory frameworks relevant to research/industrial facilities.

Values and Behaviours

All colleagues are expected to demonstrate behaviours aligned with our values, including:

  * Acting with integrity, professionalism and accountability.

  * Working collaboratively and inclusively with colleagues and partners.
