The Opportunity

Are you a hands-on engineering professional looking to take ownership of international installation projects?

We are looking for an International Site Supervisor to oversee the safe, efficient and high-quality execution of installation projects across international sites.

Working closely with the Project Manager, you will coordinate site activities, manage resources, supervise installation teams and subcontractors, and ensure projects are delivered in line with company's QSHE standards and Project Management Methodology.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced, international environment, combining technical expertise, site coordination and team leadership.

We are open to candidates with varying levels of people management experience. While established supervisory experience is beneficial, candidates with more recent or limited experience in people management will also be considered, provided they have the technical knowledge, practical mindset and motivation to develop within the role.

• Organise the site to support the safe and efficient execution of installation works.


• Optimise the deployment of assembly teams, equipment and material deliveries in line with the project plan.


• Receive, record and resolve on-site issues or complaints, escalating where necessary.


• Participate in site meetings and weekly project reviews.

Operational Supervision

• Monitor project progress and quality, identify deviations and implement or initiate corrective actions.


• Supervise subcontractors throughout project execution, ensuring all works meet required QSHE standards.


• Oversee assembly methods and verify the quality of delivered materials.


• Check equipment certification and ensure equipment remains compliant throughout the project.


• Monitor site set-up and organisation, identifying and implementing improvements where required.


• Carry out measurements to support compliance with relevant EN and FEM standards.

Work Preparation & Project Follow-up

• Review assembly drawings from a practical execution and safety perspective, providing feedback to the Project Manager.


• Take ownership of resolving on-site challenges to maintain safe, efficient and timely project progress.


• Support the coordination of installation activities and ensure work is carried out in accordance with project requirements.

Site Administration & Reporting

• Track assembly progress and maintain accurate records of subcontractor personnel and equipment.


• Monitor and report additional works and hours completed by assembly teams.


• Organise toolbox talks with assembly teams, rental companies and other third parties.


• Use SAP to track deliveries and extract material lists.


• Maintain clear and accurate site documentation and provide regular progress updates.

About You

You will ideally bring:

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, or a relevant technical background.


• Around 3-5 years of relevant experience in site supervision, installation, engineering or project delivery. We are flexible on experience level and will consider candidates with a shorter or more recent track record in people management.


• Strong organisational and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate different teams and stakeholders.


• A good understanding of site safety, installation processes and quality requirements.


• Fluent English, with the confidence to communicate effectively with clients, subcontractors and project teams.
