| 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.

You will be joining a company that values and rewards high-performers financially, intellectually and personally with fast track professional career development.
