- Monitor project scope, schedule, quality, and cost; resolve technical issues and communicate risks or required corrective actions
- Maintain project and engineering records, including calculations, drawings, redlines, P&IDs, as-builts, test records, equipment data, and closeout documentation
Construction, Commissioning, and Field Support
- Provide engineering support during construction, installation, maintenance outages, troubleshooting, testing, commissioning, and startup
- Resolve conflicts among drawings, specifications, field conditions, equipment configurations, site constraints, and operational needs
- Review field changes, requests for information, material substitutions, nonconformance issues, and design deviations
- Verify installations align with approved engineering intent, specifications, company standards, and turnover requirements
- Support pre-job planning, constructability reviews, punch lists, deficiency resolution, commissioning readiness, and lessons learned
Regulatory, Contractor, and Operational Support
- Ensure engineering designs, recommendations, and project activities support applicable safety, environmental, regulatory, and company requirements, including Management of Change processes
- Provide technical information, regulatory submittals, inspections, audits, compliance reviews, and incident investigations
- Provide technical oversight to engineering consultants, construction contractors, equipment vendors, and service providers
- Review contractor proposals and technical submittals; support bid evaluations, scope reviews, technical clarifications, and project kickoff activities
- Support operational troubleshooting, maintenance and reliability improvements, CMMS data quality, failure-trend evaluations, and equipment replacement decisions
