What You Will Do (key responsibilities for this role include but are not limited to):
Key Responsibilities
Degree in an engineering discipline; Mechanical or Chemical/Process strongly preferred.
10+ years of total experience, including 7+ years of hands-on engineering on large industrial, energy, or process plants and 3+ years line-managing engineers.
All-rounder technical fluency — you can read and challenge work across P&IDs, piping isometrics, equipment datasheets, SLDs, general arrangements and layouts, structural calculations, and I&C/control diagrams, even where it isn’t your primary discipline.
You still enjoy the technical work itself: red-lining a drawing, writing a clean specification, pushing back on a vendor with data. Not just managing the people who do.
Track record of building, growing, and retaining engineering teams.
Experience delivering large-scale capital projects (>25 MUSD) in energy, power, oil & gas, chemicals, or heavy industrial.
Strong leadership, communication, and negotiation skills. Comfortable being the most senior engineer in the room, and equally comfortable saying “I don’t know — let’s find out”.
Comfortable surfacing problems early, including ones you own. You’d rather have an awkward conversation now than a worse one later.
Bias to action — you start on what obviously needs doing without waiting to be asked, and bring people along rather than going around them.
Curious quick learner with strong analytical and problem-solving skills; entrepreneurial and self-motivated.
Flexibility to work across multiple time zones (Australia east coast through U.S. west coast) and travel internationally to project sites and HQ as required.
Passion for safety and environmental stewardship.
Fluent in English (written and spoken); Spanish or other languages a strong plus.
Valid driver’s license.
