Job Description/Specification:
A Project Controls and Technical Engineering role offers an opportunity to support projects from the early commercial and technical stages through contract execution. The position combines technical analysis, project planning, cost and performance evaluation, and coordination with commercial and engineering teams.
The role is suited to an experienced technical professional who can understand customer requirements, evaluate technical and economic options, and develop practical solutions while working across multiple project teams.
💼 Key Responsibilities
- Provide technical expertise during the pre-ITO and ITO project stages.
- Analyze customer requirements and translate them into appropriate technical solutions.
- Support product configuration, performance estimation, technical specifications, and cost evaluation.
- Work closely with commercial teams to develop technically and economically competitive solutions.
- Evaluate equipment, systems, and installation performance and efficiency.
- Prepare technical documentation and cost information required for later project execution.
- Support the Order-to-Remittance (OTR) process by adapting products to specific customer requirements.
- Develop technical solutions while considering internal policies, contracts, specifications, and project requirements.
- Coordinate with multiple internal teams to resolve technical and project-related issues.
- Use technical analysis and previous experience to identify practical solutions.
- Support project planning and execution activities within established functional procedures.
- Provide informal technical guidance and support to less-experienced team members.
- Coordinate multiple activities or projects while maintaining quality and delivery requirements.
🎯 Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in a relevant technical discipline.
- Significant experience in a relevant engineering, technical, or project-related function.
- Strong understanding of the candidate's primary technical discipline.
- Experience analyzing customer requirements and developing technical solutions.
- Ability to evaluate technical performance, costs, efficiency, and project requirements.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work with commercial, engineering, and other cross-functional teams.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Good organizational and project coordination abilities.
- Ability to work independently within established processes and procedures.
- Experience influencing stakeholders and coordinating small teams is advantageous.
- Ability to manage multiple projects or initiatives simultaneously.
🚀 Why You'll Love This Opportunity
- Remote position, providing flexibility in where the work is performed.
- Exposure to projects from early technical and commercial development through execution.
- Opportunity to work across engineering, commercial, and project teams.
- Involvement in technical solution development and customer-focused engineering.
- Potential to contribute to projects with moderate to significant business impact.
- Opportunity to develop deeper expertise within a technical discipline.
The vacancy states that relocation assistance is not provided.
👤 Who Should Apply?
This opportunity is suitable for engineers and technical professionals with experience in project engineering, technical sales support, project controls, solution engineering, proposals, or technical project execution.
Candidates should be comfortable working at the intersection of technical requirements and commercial considerations. The role requires someone who can understand what a customer needs, evaluate different technical options, consider cost and performance, and communicate a practical recommendation to stakeholders.
Professionals who have worked with industrial equipment, systems, engineering solutions, or large technical projects may find their previous experience particularly relevant.
⭐ Skills That Will Help You Succeed
Key skills for this position include:
- Technical solution development.
- Customer requirements analysis.
- Performance and efficiency calculations.
- Cost and economic evaluation.
- Technical specification development.
- Project controls and planning.
- Cross-functional coordination.
- Technical documentation.
- Problem solving and analytical thinking.
- Stakeholder management.
- Commercial awareness.
- Project organization and prioritization.
The ability to understand how one team's work affects other functions is particularly important in a cross-functional project environment.
💡 How to Stand Out
Your CV should demonstrate specific technical and commercial contributions, rather than simply listing engineering responsibilities.
Highlight projects where you evaluated customer requirements, developed technical configurations, prepared estimates, analyzed equipment performance, reduced costs, or supported successful contract awards.
If you have experience supporting tenders, proposals, ITO, technical bids, project execution, OTR, or customer-specific engineering solutions, make this prominent in your CV.
Where possible, quantify your achievements—for example, project values, number of proposals supported, efficiency improvements, cost reductions, delivery improvements, or the number of stakeholders and teams coordinated.
🎤 Interview Preparation
Prepare for questions that test both technical judgment and stakeholder management.
You may be asked how you would translate an unclear customer requirement into a technical solution, compare two technical options, estimate the commercial impact of an engineering decision, or handle conflicting requirements between commercial and engineering teams.
Be ready to explain examples where you:
- Solved a complex technical problem.
- Worked with a commercial team on a customer proposal.
- Evaluated technical performance or project economics.
- Coordinated several teams to deliver an initiative.
- Influenced stakeholders without having direct authority.
- Managed multiple projects or competing priorities.
For scenario questions, explain your reasoning clearly and show how you balance technical feasibility, customer requirements, cost, performance, and project execution.
📈 Career Growth
Experience in this type of role can support progression into positions such as Senior Project Engineer, Project Controls Specialist, Technical Solutions Engineer, Project Manager, Proposal Engineering Manager, or Engineering Manager, depending on the individual's technical discipline and career path.
Developing both technical expertise and commercial awareness can also open opportunities in larger project leadership and customer-facing engineering functions.
