• Have a strong understanding of aviation-specific electrical systems, including:
  • 400Hz aircraft ground power supply systems
  • Power supply arrangements and requirements for aircraft equipment such as mass air start, tools, docking, hydraulic systems, compressed air, etc.
• Have familiarity with relevant codes, standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Have familiarity with DSEAR assessments and the impact on electrical system designs, including designs within all ATEX zones.
• Have familiarity with fire suppression systems typically provided to MRO facilities.
• Apply your engineering expertise to shape our projects, moving them towards net zero carbon.
• Work in an interdisciplinary environment and aim to design buildings that maximise value for our clients whilst minimising their environmental impact.
• Provide leadership to the MEP team on a portfolio of projects locally, nationally, and internationally, ensuring correct technical approaches are applied and tasks are completed appropriately.
• Be expected to have project management skills and take responsibility for the financial performance of projects, including liaising directly with clients on fees and commercial matters.
• Effectively oversee total project delivery through team management and delegation, ensuring efficient and satisfactory delivery of multiple and complex projects, reporting to the Project Manager / Director.
• Play a part in the ongoing digital transformation of the business, seeking new ways to increase efficiency through automation and to offer new services through an integrated digital approach to design.
