Job description
Project Engineer

We are seeking a proactive and experienced Project Engineer to join our team and play a pivotal role in the successful delivery of projects across our portfolio. This is a dynamic, site-based position offering both variety and responsibility-depending on project scale and client requirements, you may work across multiple sites or be dedicated to a major project.

Working alongside the wider Project Management team, you will take ownership of on-site activities, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest technical and quality standards.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct regular site inspections to identify, manage, and eliminate potential health and safety risks
  • Supervise, coordinate, and manage subcontractors, ensuring high standards of performance and compliance
  • Deliver toolbox talks and promote a strong safety culture across all site activities
  • Carry out daily inspections of access plant and equipment
  • Maintain accurate site records, including site diaries, attendance logs, and daily activity reports
  • Ensure all design changes, variations, and drawing updates are properly recorded and tracked for full traceability
  • Review and analyse technical drawings to ensure alignment with design, safety, and budget requirements
  • Monitor subcontractor performance and address issues proactively, including implementing corrective actions where required
  • Recommend and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency and project delivery
  • Support the planning and management of project schedules and budgets to meet delivery targets
  • Install, configure, test, and support the commissioning of Fire, Life Safety, and Security systems
  • Troubleshoot systems and carry out cable testing to ensure readiness for commissioning
  • Demonstrate a strong understanding of system integration and interconnectivity across multiple platforms
  • Provide training and support to end users on completed systems
  • Mentor and support junior or less experienced team members on-site
  • Collaborate with engineering and project teams to provide technical input, design reviews, and support project scoping
  • Contribute to product development initiatives, technical design discussions, and continuous improvement strategies
  • Ensure all work is delivered in line with company standards and client expectations
  • Assist in project handover to service/maintenance teams upon completion
  • Report regularly to the Project Manager or Senior Project Engineer on progress, risks, and performance
  • Actively engage in ongoing training and development aligned with the company training matrix

About You
You are a motivated, detail-oriented professional with strong site experience and a passion for delivering high-quality engineering solutions. You thrive in a hands-on environment and are confident managing multiple priorities while maintaining high safety and performance standards.

Skills & Experience
  • Previous experience in a similar role, or strong systems experience with the ambition to step into a Project Engineer position
  • Sound knowledge of industry standards, regulations, and construction site practices
  • Strong ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications
  • Proven leadership skills with experience supervising teams and subcontractors
  • Experience working with Fire and Life Safety and/or Security systems
  • Good understanding of system integration and communication protocols across multiple manufacturers
  • Strong organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Analytical mindset with excellent attention to detail
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and adapt in a fast-paced project environment
  • First Aid qualification (desirable, but not essential-training will be provided)
