Deployment Project Engineer

About the Role

This is a hands-on project engineering role focused on the end-to-end delivery of modular synthetic fuel plants, from factory through to field commissioning. You will sit within the Deployment team, reporting to the Head of Deployment, and play a critical part in scaling operations across the UK and into Europe. If you love being in the field, thrive under tight deadlines, and want real ownership in a team building an entirely new industry, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Manage the full project delivery lifecycle for 1MW modular systems, from factory handover to operational field sites.
• Coordinate timelines, Gantt charts, and risk registers, flagging issues early to keep deployments on schedule.
• Manage civil subcontractors across groundworks, utility connections, wiring, pipeline routes, and solar installation.
• Ensure all site construction activities comply with CDM regulations and UK Health and Safety requirements.
• Collaborate closely with production and permitting teams to align manufacturing schedules with deployment timelines.
• Serve as the on-the-ground bridge between factory operations and field sites, splitting time between London and project locations.

What We're Looking For

• 5 or more years of experience managing deployment and construction of physical hardware or infrastructure at project sites.
• A degree in engineering or physical sciences (civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical).
• Proven experience managing subcontractors and coordinating multi-trade construction activities.
• Background deploying hardware in remote or resource-constrained environments (such as energy, defence, or research settings).
• Solid knowledge of CDM regulations and UK Health and Safety compliance.
• Technical literacy across civil, electrical, and mechanical disciplines.
• Proficiency with programme scheduling tools including Gantt charts, risk registers, and budget tracking.
• Based in the UK and able to work on-site five days per week across London and field project sites.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: 50,000 to 75,000 GBP per year. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
