  • Participate in resource planning and recruitment to build a sustainable U.S. engineering team.
  • Drive a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • Mentor and develop engineers, maintaining high standards of professional development (CPD).
  • Facilitate real-time feedback loops between site teams and design engineers to optimize project outcomes.

Reporting Structure
