You will provide technical advice and consultancy to our management, commissioning, and project teams on matters of technical architecture and infrastructure developments, including their feasibility. You will assist with improving the standard of technical delivery and expertise within the engineering teams through coaching and mentoring staff. You will be responsible for communicating and documenting the technical architecture of our systems.
