ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

  • Project Engineering & Design Support
    • Support the engineering execution of landfill- and biogas-based RNG projects, including gas collection and control systems (GCCS), gas upgrading, compression, interconnection, and balance-of-plant systems.
    • Review and coordinate engineering deliverables such as process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), equipment datasheets, layouts, and utility requirements.
    • Assist with technology evaluations and selection for biogas upgrading, gas treatment, compression, and metering systems consistent with Terreva's platform.
    • Review vendor and contractor submittals for technical compliance with project requirements and Terreva engineering standards.
  • Project Execution & Construction Support
    • Interface with Terreva's development, construction, and operations teams to ensure engineering aligns with project budgets, schedules, and constructability requirements.
    • Support construction activities through RFI responses, field coordination, site visits, and resolution of technical issues.
    • Track engineering deliverables, action items, and changes to support overall project execution.
    • Participate in commissioning, startup, performance testing, and handover of RNG facilities to operations.
  • Regulatory, Safety & Compliance
    • Support compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations governing RNG facilities, including environmental permits, pipeline interconnection requirements, and safety standards.
    • Assist with hazard analyses, constructability reviews, and quality assurance processes.
    • Ensure designs and field execution comply with applicable codes and standards (e.g., ASME, API, NFPA, DOT, EPA).
  • Operations & Asset Support
    • Provide ongoing technical support to Terreva's operating RNG facilities, including troubleshooting, optimization, and evaluation of capital improvements.
    • Assist with data analysis related to gas quality, throughput, uptime, and overall plant performance.
    • Support standardization and continuous improvement initiatives across Terreva's RNG portfolio.
    • Support documentation upkeep to include P&ID review and management-of-change reporting of process improvements.
    • Provide instrumentation and controls support to third party controls vendors, integrators and site personnel.
