Your New Role
Reporting directly into the Group Engineering function based in Dubai, the
Group Engineering Efficiency & Design Assurance Lead
- is a highly technical, analytical role.
- Moving away from pure project delivery and rollout management, your mission is to be the ultimate engineering gatekeeper—serving as the critical bridge between design intent and real-world operational performance.
- **Design Validation & Challenge:**
- Actively challenge, review, and independently validate complex product designs to ensure they are safe, maintainable, and highly practical before they hit the field.
- **Performance Optimization:**
- Focus heavily on improving engineering outcomes and operational efficiency, translating high-level engineering concepts into cost-efficient field solutions.
- **Sustainability & Fuel Reduction:**
- Own the technical governance for energy efficiency programs, driving initiatives to reduce diesel generator (DG) run hours and accelerating pathways to net-zero.
- **Technology Trials:**
- Lead proof-of-concept (PoC) and live pilot deployments to rigorously assess new hybrid technologies, configurations, and equipment.
- **Engineering Governance:**
- Analyze asset lifecycle trends and failures across multiple operating markets to drive continuous improvement, cost avoidance, and warranty recovery.
- **Business Case Realization:**
- Ensure that once a system is deployed, it actually delivers the expected technical performance and financial business case intended by the design.
What You'Ll Need To Succeed
- Please note: This is not a project rollout or operational delivery role.
- We are specifically seeking a deep technical specialist who has spent their career optimizing engineering assets and validating designs.
- **Core Focus:**
- Proven background in engineering assurance, technical validation, or engineering governance roles with direct accountability for asset performance.
- **Technical Power Expertise:**
- Significant experience in power systems engineering (generators, advanced batteries, rectifiers, control systems, and renewables) within telecom, critical power, or heavy infrastructure environments.
- **Efficiency Track Record:**
- Demonstrable experience leading energy efficiency, fuel reduction, or green tech optimization programs.
- **Analytical & Financial Acumen:**
- Strong capability in lifecycle cost analysis, asset performance optimization, and total cost of ownership (TCO) / ROI assessments.
- **Cross-Market Influence:**
- The ability to enforce engineering standards and translate technical designs into clear, field-ready guidance across multiple operating companies or regions.
What You'Ll Get In Return
- This Group-level role offers an exceptional platform to drive true environmental and operational change across a massive international footprint.
- **Compensation:**
- Competitive tax-free basic salary based in Dubai.
- **Performance Rewards:**
- A discretionary corporate bonus scheme tied to performance.
- **Executive Benefits:**
- Comprehensive global medical insurance and life insurance coverage.
- **Impact:**
- Direct ownership of the engineering sustainability roadmap for a major infrastructure leader.
