The Opportunity
My client is a well-established and highly respected specialist contractor, and they are looking to recruit a Lead Commercial Combustion Engineer to join their growing team across London, If you're a high-level Commercial Combustion Engineer looking to step into a role where your skills are valued, your workload is manageable, and the focus is on doing the job properly, this is an excellent opportunity.
This is a standout opportunity for an experienced engineer who is looking to step into (or continue in) a lead role within a business that prioritises quality over quantity. You won't be rushed across hundreds of sites-instead, you'll be working on a manageable portfolio of high-value sites, delivering proper engineering solutions.
