Project Engineer - Derby

Acting as an agency on behalf of my client I am seeking a Project Engineer, preferably degree qualified in technical/engineering discipline and with experience gained within an Engineering Consultant or Contractor.

Candidates MUST ideally hold SC clearance or ensure that they are suitable for security clearance prior to applying

The Project Engineer conducts the day to day contact between stakeholders to monitor and drive delivery to milestones and the critical path.

Duties:
-Sub-contractor management
-Monitoring "Earned Value" and other KPI's to the project plan
-Highlighting shortfall of deliverables to the PM. This could come from Engineering Design, Safety Case/Consulting, Subcontractors
-Liaise with AWE project management team mostly via PM to report update to project progression
-Ensure project changes are properly recorded and the PM is advised of the effects on the project

The key distinction between the PE and the PM is that the PM strategises the project in terms of setting out the milestones, financial / contractual mechanism set up and budgetary allocation to stakeholders. The PE then monitors the progress of the project to the plan set out by the PM. The PM is then the escalation point of contact and main interface with the client. The PE is the "eyes and ears" of the project delivery.

Likely attributes to character:
-A can-do attitude, decisive, positive

-Has the ability to manage detail but enjoys seeing the wider view

Thorough, analytical, seeks detail in areas of conflict
-Enjoys dealing with several different task, people, objectives concurrently
-Enjoys working under pressure at times
