* Developing and standardising technical documentation, including installation guides, drawings, and manuals
* Ensuring product compliance with a wide range of industry standards and regulatory frameworks
* Creating and executing a global maintenance strategy, including the identification and coordination of international service partners

* At least 2 years within the asphalt, bitumen, or construction-related sectors
* Degree (or equivalent qualification) in an engineering discipline
* Proven experience managing technical projects and coordinating cross-functional teams
* Strong understanding of systems involving liquid flow, heating, and pipework
* Experience with supplier management and quality assurance processes
* Proficiency in SolidWorks and Microsoft Office suite
* Skilled in reading and producing technical documentation, including P&IDs
You’ll also bring:
* Clear, confident communication skills with the ability to simplify complex concepts
* A methodical and highly organised approach to workload and documentation
* Strong problem-solving capability with a commercial mindset
* Leadership skills, with the ability to influence and guide others effectively
