  • Experience within the higher hazard / regulated industries (e.g. nuclear, petro-chem, pharma etc.).
  • Experience leading projects/tasks and/or supervising, influencing or mentoring other/junior engineers or stakeholders.
  • Membership of an engineering institution and/or Incorporated/Chartered Engineer or equivalent.
