* Prepare mechanical calculations, equipment specifications, and datasheets for turbines, compressors, pumps, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and pipelines.
* Provide visible technical and team leadership and governance.
* Develop designs and approaches that clearly differentiate WSP from our competitors.
* Promote and lead innovation across the team and the application of engineering principles to first-of-a-kind projects.
* Work collaboratively with other groups within WSP and maximize cross-selling opportunities.
* Support business leadership in the preparation and review of key bids, provide input into pricing strategy.
* Identify skills gaps and recruit technical staff.
* Maintain and develop processes and procedures to ensure efficient delivery of design.
* Support and ensure the integration of UK-wide best practices, e.g., BMS, SHEQ.
* Interface with iCRC and promote its effective use within the region.
