    • Communicate well with all team members and stakeholders.
    • Manage risk methodically by identifying potential risks to the schedule, cost, and scope. Develop mitigation plans to reduce the likelihood of the risk or the severity of the consequences.

  • Demonstrate technical expertise during the design and engineering of projects:
    • Identifying key factors that influence the viability of the project, breaking down large problems into smaller, manageable elements, and clarifying information needed to solve the problems.
    • Demonstrate creativity in the development of solutions to engineering problems to improve functionality, reduce cost, reduce implementation time, and reduce risk.
    • For portions of the design that are outsourced, manage the outside resources to achieve cost-effective, competent designs that will achieve the project goals.
  • Apply understanding of legal requirements and industry practices related to the job.
  • Utilize engineering resources (vendors, equipment manufacturers, and peers) to assist in the timely and cost-effective solution of problems.
  • Serve as the engineering resource for designated equipment systems in the plant.
  • Demonstrate understanding of quality relative to the implementation of projects, e.g., quality, low maintenance, long-life components, and simplicity in operation.
  • Safety and Compliance:
    • Understand, adhere to, model, and coach others in all plant safety policies and compliance regulations relevant to the position.
    • Actively participate in the safety process and encourage the participation of others through completing safety audits, participating in safety projects, identifying site hazards, contributing to safety improvements, and being an attending member of a safety team.
    • Complete annual safety training as required.
    • Ensure the appropriate compliance and active participation in the safety program of those contractors in your scope of control.
