Your role

As Lead Electrical & Instrumentation Engineer, you will be the technical and organisational anchor of our E&I team in Rotterdam. Together with the team, you will monitor capacity and workload, contribute to a healthy project intake and ensure that technical quality, knowledge development and professional standards remain strong.

On average, approximately 50% of your time will be spent on engineering. The remainder will focus on project meetings, coordination, coaching, client contact and organisational activities within larger and multidisciplinary projects. You remain technically involved while providing clear direction to colleagues and projects.

You will act as the technical point of contact for clients, suppliers and project teams. In complex or ad-hoc situations, you remain calm, set the right priorities and make sure decisions are taken. You will have considerable freedom in your approach, provided that planning, quality, budget and commitments are properly managed. The role is approximately 80% office-based and 20% working from home, supplemented by occasional visits to client or project locations.

What will you be doing?

• Providing technical leadership on Electrical & Instrumentation projects and acting as the technical authority within your discipline

• Operationally guiding, coaching and supporting engineers and designers in their professional and personal development

• Monitoring the E&I team’s capacity, staffing and workload, and identifying bottlenecks or development needs at an early stage

• Working with Sales and project management on proposals, scope definition, hour estimates and a healthy project intake

• Monitoring project planning, progress, quality, budget and technical scope

• Preparing, reviewing and, where appropriate, approving technical documentation, calculations, designs and specifications

• Acting as the technical point of contact for clients, suppliers, project managers and lead engineers from other disciplines

• Identifying technical risks, structuring decision-making and initiating practical solutions

• Contributing to standardisation, process improvement, knowledge sharing and the continued professionalisation of the department

• Handling employee- and organisation-related matters within the team and coordinating with HR or management where required
