About the Role
Mace combines construction expertise with consultancy to unlock potential in every person or project and redefine the boundaries of ambition. We are seeking an experienced Project Engineer to support the delivery of a major sterile manufacturing facility expansion within a highly regulated GMP environment. The successful candidate will provide technical engineering leadership throughout design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover phases, ensuring engineering solutions are safe, compliant, operationally effective and aligned with project objectives.
Working within a multidisciplinary project team, you will coordinate engineering activities across facilities, utilities and process infrastructure, supporting delivery from concept through to qualification and operational readiness.
You will be responsible for supporting project delivery through established governance and stage-gate processes; developing and managing user requirement specifications (URS), design specifications, P&IDs, layouts and technical documentation; managing technical reviews and providing design assurance throughout the project lifecycle; managing engineering interfaces with design consultants, contractors, equipment vendors and site stakeholders; providing technical governance for equipment procurement, installation and integration activities; supporting construction delivery through resolution of technical queries, change control processes and deviation management; coordinating commissioning readiness activities including mechanical completion verification and system boundary definition; participating in safety reviews, risk assessments, HAZOPs and engineering assurance processes; and ensuring engineering activities comply with project standards, quality requirements and EHS expectations.
The role will support engineering delivery across a range of facility and building systems including cleanrooms and controlled environments, facility fit-out packages, HVAC systems, domestic water services, above-ground drainage systems, fire protection and sprinkler systems, structural and civil engineering works, personnel and operational support facilities, and utility infrastructure and building services. These systems form part of a complex GMP manufacturing environment requiring close coordination across engineering disciplines.
