We are on the hunt for three dynamic E, C&I Engineers to join our team in the Cheshire / Wirral area.

Our client is interested in passionate individuals who are dedicated to decarbonisation and renewable energy. They are at the forefront of waste-to-energy innovation and biogas production, recently spearheading initiatives to replace methane with hydrogen in the drive towards a net-zero future.

Primary Duties:

Design Packs: Develop clear and concise drawing and document packs; review existing packs with a keen eye for detail. Assist in the compilation of functional design specifications, FAT, and SAT documents for analytical and metering systems.
