Initially based out of the Aberdeen office, the post holder would initially work from home / remotely due to current Covid-19 restrictions.  Thereafter, the job holder would work out of the London office for the first part of the FEED, and then this would likely be followed by another major European city for the second part, depending on contract awards. This role will involve travel to Algeria, and possibly other locations, therefore the company is looking to take on an individual who is highly mobile and is willing to travel.
