We are currently looking to support our client - a leading UK solutions provider operating across the natural gas, petrochemical, biomethane and decarbonisation sectors.
They are looking for a candidate to join them in a project based role, building towards project management, but initially working within support and engineering work. A detailed description is given below but this role may suit more junior level candidates with some project-related experience within an Engineering company, ideally within the oil & gas industry if possible. This doesn't necessarily need to be project management experience, it could be somebody who has been a Junior/Assistant PM or a Coordinator.
This will be a permanent staff, full-time standard hours role - 40 per week with some flexibility available - based out of the company's state of the art workshop facility in Ellesmere Port. Occasional site visits will be required and up to 2 days per week will be allowed working from home, upon successful completion of the probationary period.
This is an excellent long-term opportunity for someone living in Cheshire or the surrounding regions to join a successful growing industry leader that provides excellent opportunities for personal growth by investing in their staff with high class training programs and by supporting them throughout their time with the company.
