| Background | It’s not pure coincidence that so many specialist engineers choose to work here at our European Regional Engineering Office. It’s because in-house we offer a breadth of exposure not often found: end-to-end development and leadership of complex £multi-million projects from conceptual design through to implementation, delivering innovation, technical expertise and leadership to ten refineries in Europe and the Middle East. It’s a unique sell which we believe speaks for itself.
If you have a talent for problem-solving, coupled with a real passion for technical professionalism and team development, then you know what you want from your career. You will be joining a company that values and rewards high-performers financially, intellectually and personally with fast track professional career development.
The opportunity to travel on short-term international business trips will be frequent and career development plans can include postings overseas to locations worldwide.
The objective of this role is to fulfil a regional technical specialist consulting position who supports multiple European and Middle Eastern refineries. The appointee will be expected to provide in depth technical leadership and support to refining sites with a focus on troubleshooting, asset improvement and technology selection.
