The role will be based within a key regional location, such as the Middle East, and will provide a mobile and flexible engineering presence across SRT's global programmes, travelling to project locations where additional engineering leadership, coordination or support is required.
The Global Engineering Lead will work closely with the Project Engineering Manager to ensure that field activities are appropriately planned, resourced, coordinated and executed, providing visibility of progress, risks, issues and engineering requirements across all active deployments.
The role will operate across multiple countries and projects and will be required to balance the needs of individual programmes with the wider priorities of the Project Engineering function.
The role of Global Engineering Lead is a role where you will be expected to spend considerable time outside of the UK or live ideally in the Middle East, this is an overseas role across our numerous and exciting projects.
