Engineering Projects Manager

Works as part of the Engineering Projects team alongside Project Engineers, Designers, and Project Administrators.

To undertake design and drafting activities in support of engineering projects, including new build and rental packages. The role involves producing accurate design documentation and supporting project delivery from concept through to completion.

• Produce 3D models, general arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings, piping and instrumentation diagrams, and bills of materials in line with project specifications.
• Ensure all design outputs are checked thoroughly prior to issue for engineering review and approval.
• Revise design documentation in response to internal reviews and client comments.
• Participate in project meetings and design reviews, incorporating changes as required.
• Deliver design work in line with agreed project schedules.
• Apply sound engineering judgement to produce practical, maintainable and cost-effective designs.
• Liaise with internal departments, including engineering, procurement, and workshop teams, to support project delivery.
• Interface with external vendors (e.g., fabricators, electrical engineers) where required.
• Provide support during manufacture and assembly, resolving design queries from the workshop.
• Carry out site visits, surveys, and inspections as needed.
• Update drawings and documentation to reflect ‘as-built’ conditions on project completion.

• Design both standard and bespoke equipment packages.
• Prepare complete design documentation sets including:
  • General arrangement drawings
  • P&IDs
  • Electrical diagrams
  • Fabrication drawings
  • Bills of materials
• Ensure all deliverables meet required technical standards and project specifications.
• Consider manufacturing efficiency during the design process.
• Operate in line with company HSEQ procedures and applicable industry standards.
• Contribute to regular internal and external project meetings.
