Are you a detail-driven Package Engineer with a strong background in process equipment, vendor management, and technical integration within pharma, oil & gas, or advanced manufacturing environments?
This is a rare opportunity to take on a central technical role in the delivery of two major capital projects, backed by significant investment and focused on the development of cutting-edge sustainable fuel technology. You’ll be working with pharma-grade process systems, high-performance powder handling equipment, and complex multi-disciplinary designs, ensuring critical equipment packages are specified, sourced, and integrated flawlessly.
From fluidised beds and granulators to calciners and dryers, you’ll be responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of key equipment - from design and procurement through to FAT, installation, and commissioning - ensuring compliance, quality, and performance at every stage.
