We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Senior Project Engineer to join our Engineering team at NG Bailey, working on a major infrastructure project associated with HS2 in the Coventry/Birmingham area.

This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in one of the UK's largest infrastructure programmes, playing a key role in the successful delivery of mechanical and electrical (MEP) engineering works.

• Identifying and managing technical risks, challenges and opportunities throughout the project lifecycle.

• Providing technical guidance and support to the wider project team, ensuring engineering standards and quality requirements are consistently achieved.

• Monitoring project progress, providing accurate updates and supporting the achievement of key project milestones.

• Ensuring all activities comply with relevant health, safety, environmental and quality standards.

• Supporting the successful completion and handover of mechanical and electrical installations in line with client requirements.
