  • Manage owner and stakeholder interests
  • Present ideas, concepts, and details to owners, contractors, and others
  • Coordinate and build partnerships both internally with Hatch and externally with partners to achieve goals
  • Review the work of others and provide detailed and constructive commentary in a professional setting
  • Promote Hatch through personal interactions and industry events, and develop opportunities for new work

Requirements:

  • A Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related technical discipline
  • Master's degree in Engineering also preferred
  • Professional Engineering Licence and PMP strongly preferred
  • Fifteen (15) years of experience in the rail infrastructure, vehicles, signaling, or systems integration industries with at least five (5) of those working in the Middle East
  • Demonstrable experience in identifying and securing work in excess of $5m annually as proposal leader
  • Eight (8) or more years and three (3) different projects of multidisciplinary systems project management experience on projects greater than $50m in capital value
  • Knowledge of railway operations, system safety, RAMS, and associated requirements
  • Excellent communication skills (verbal and written, including technical writing) are required
  • Demonstrable experience in training, mentoring, and developing staff and educating clients
  • Work with great people to make a difference
  • Collaborate on exciting projects to develop innovative solutions
  • Top employer

What we offer you?

  • Flexible work environment
  • Think globally, work locally

Don't meet every single requirement? You don't need to. At Hatch, we are building a diverse, inclusive workplace that fosters innovation. If you're interested in this role, we encourage you to apply even if your past experiences don't perfectly align with the skills we've listed.
