Provide expert guidance on system performance, including acoustics, fire, structural and compliance considerations
Work closely with architects, consultants and contractors to integrate Saint-Gobain systems into project designs
Lead the technical development of specifications, ensuring alignment with project requirements and company strategy
Support and guide internal teams with technical direction and complex solution development
Drive technical value engineering, ensuring solutions are both compliant and commercially effective

What we're doing:

Strong background in technical specification, system design or engineering within construction
Deep understanding of construction processes, project delivery and design decision-making
Ability to interpret and apply technical standards, test data and system performance requirements (e.g. fire, acoustics, structures)
Proven experience influencing design teams, consultants and senior stakeholders
Comfortable operating as a technical lead on complex, multi-stakeholder projects
Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate technical detail into clear, practical solutions
