About the Role:
We are currently seeking a highly experienced Senior and Lead Project Engineer to join the team of a global engineering organisation following significant project wins.

Lead the full lifecycle of capital engineering projects, typically between £100k–£3M, across the UK and Ireland.
Provide technical leadership to cross-functional teams, ensuring design integrity, commercial alignment, and delivery to SHEQ standards.
