• Support tendering activities, contributing to both technical and commercial bid content.

About You

• Proven experience managing engineering or automation projects (PLC/SCADA/HMI), ideally within Food & Beverage or similar industrial sectors.

• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management capabilities.

• Highly organised, able to manage multiple projects simultaneously with a focus on results.

• Knowledge of project management methodologies (PRINCE2, APM) and tools (e.g., MS Project) is desirable.

• Degree or equivalent in Engineering or Project Management is an advantage.

• Full UK driving licence and ability to travel as required, including occasional international travel.

• Eligible to work in the UK and obtain UK Security Clearance.

Why Build Your Career with VINCI Energies?

• Be part of a secure, forward‑thinking global group known for innovation, sustainability, and people development.

• Work on diverse, technically challenging automation projects with leading industrial clients.

• Benefit from a comprehensive package including pension, healthcare, bonus, Share Scheme, and flexible working.
