Working closely with engineering, production, deployment and quality teams, you will develop tailored technical solutions and provide technical support throughout the project lifecycle.

• Lead the engineering design and technical execution of medium-voltage equipment projects.
• Manage projects from initial design through to final delivery.
• Produce engineering drawings, bills of materials (BOMs) and manufacturing documentation.
• Develop and review technical documentation to ensure compliance with project requirements and applicable standards.
• Provide technical support during Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) and customer technical reviews.
• Communicate technical information clearly to customers and internal stakeholders.
• Coordinate project activities and monitor progress against agreed timescales, budgets and quality requirements.
• Identify project risks and implement appropriate mitigation plans.
• Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, deployment and quality teams to ensure smooth project execution.
• Support the resolution of technical issues throughout the project lifecycle.
