  • Drive technical decisions related to control strategies, system performance and engineering solutions throughout project execution.  

  • Act as a technical reference within project teams, supporting and mentoring less experienced engineers when required.  

  • Participate in customer discussions, technical reviews, Factory System Tests and selected commissioning activities worldwide.  

  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary international teams to ensure safe, reliable and cost-effective project delivery.  

  • Contribute to the continuous development of engineering practices while helping build and grow the new Spanish engineering team.  

 

Your Background
