Headquartered in the United Kingdom, INTEC also operates offices in Germany, Türkiye, Spain, Azerbaijan, Romania, Mauritius, Mauritania, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, with plans for further expansion. We are expanding our engineering capability in the Philippines and are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager with a strong electrical engineering background to lead, develop, and mentor our multidisciplinary engineering team in the Philippines. The team spans Electrical, Civil, High Voltage (HV), and SCADA engineering. As our global Civil Engineering leadership is already based in Spain, this position is intentionally weighted toward electrical engineering. You will act as the technical authority and quality benchmark for electrical engineering, while providing overall leadership and coordination across the wider multidisciplinary team. The role is based in Spain and does not require permanent relocation to the Philippines. It combines remote leadership from Spain with regular, concentrated on-site assignments in the Philippines. During these assignments, you will work directly with the local engineering team to strengthen technical capability, establish standards, mentor engineers, and drive engineering quality and consistency. You will work in close coordination with, and under the leadership of, our Head of Engineering. What youll do Lead and develop the Philippines engineering team • Provide day-to-day leadership, direction, and prioritisation for a multidisciplinary team of Electrical, Civil, HV, and SCADA engineers., • Develop and strengthen the engineering capability in the Philippines, increasing the teams autonomy, technical depth, and ability to deliver complex international projects., • Build a strong on-site leadership presence during assignments in the Philippines and maintain effective remote leadership from Spain between visits., • Support resource planning, workload prioritisation, and technical development across the engineering team. Drive engineering and design delivery • Oversee multidisciplinary engineering deliverables for utility-scale Solar PV and BESS projects across tendering and detailed design phases., • Coordinate technical interfaces between Electrical, Civil, HV, SCADA, BESS, and grid connection scopes., • Ensure engineering deliverables meet project requirements, applicable standards, contractual obligations, and agreed schedules., • Identify technical risks, design gaps, and interface issues early and drive their resolution in coordination with relevant engineering disciplines and project stakeholders.
