Project Planner Ref:2318d

Project Design Engineers (PDE) is part of the Fingleton White Group. The Group provides multidiscipline engineering services for the energy industry. We provide a full range of design, construction and commissioning services and are active across many sectors including Renewables, Gas Networks, Water, Energy & Utilities, and Asset Management. The company is responsible for planning and development of some of the most significant projects in the energy sector throughout UK and Ireland. We have 6 offices across Northern Ireland, England and Ireland with over 150 staff.

**Who We Are.**

We believe that what makes PDE different from other engineering consultancies is our ability to deliver a tailored, value-engineered and personal service to each client.

We have a proven track record of delivering lasting solutions which we design based on a first principles approach. Our priority is to get the engineering fundamentals right.

The Fingleton White Group has been built on sustainability. Our very first project was a hydroelectric power station. Over our 40-year history, we have developed our own projects which have delivered CO2 emissions savings of well over 2 million tonnes. We are focussed on reducing our carbon footprint and having a positive impact on our environment and communities through our biodiversity initiatives, our energy efficiency programmes and implementing sustainable development targets.

**Our Projects.**

Achieving zero carbon will require a diverse range of solutions and approaches. Our clients require individualised pathways to ensure they can achieve CO2 reductions in a cost-effective manner that reflects their specific business needs and goals. PDE is a key solution provider in this complex journey. We are delivering renewables projects, carbon reduction projects, energy efficiency upgrades and improvements for our clients.

We understand that natural gas, biomethane and hydrogen all have a key role in transitioning to low carbon and achieving zero carbon. Greening of gas networks will be fundamental for supporting intermittent renewable energy sources such as Wind and Solar. Our Gas Networks design team are delivering projects in areas such as Biogas from Anaerobic Digestion, Carbon Capture, Hydrogen and Biomethane for grid injection and transport. Expertise in these areas will be key for the future as they provide unique and complex challenges that requires highly technical and specialised engineering solutions.

**Our People.**

Our people are our only asset and are our unique selling point. Our people are key to everything we do.

Business and client requirements are constantly changing, it is essential that we provide the tools to allow our team to develop their skills and expertise to match these demands. We challenge our engineers to develop and progress within the organisation. Our Development and Progression Framework details how people can develop within their roles and progress their career within the organisation.

We have systems in place to provide employees with targeted training and experience relevant to their grade. Chartership is supported and encouraged through CPD and mentoring and is a requirement for senior engineering roles in the organisation.

We will provide you with all the training you need, exposure to projects, responsibility and real engineering experience to maximise your talents as an engineer.
