Full Job Description
Project Management:
• Lead technical coordination between Alva, EPC, and site owner; define scopes, interfaces,

and deliverables and run design and progress reviews.
• Oversee technical performance of the EPC; review key engineering deliverables and

manage RFIs, design changes, and other technical issues.
• Work with supply chain to plan procurement of major equipment and materials; ensure

vendor compliance and support FATs and inspections as needed.
• Help translate engineering into construction-ready work packages and execution plans;

provide engineering support during construction, commissioning, and startup.
• Identify and manage technical and regulatory risks; ensure compliance with applicable

codes/standards and champion safety-by-design.
• Help define internal roles, support hiring and onboarding, and mentor engineers; improve

Alva's standards, tools, and processes for project delivery.

Engineering Development:
• Plan and manage engineering maturity from FEL-1 through FEL-3 (or 30-60-90%), defining

deliverables, quality criteria, and gate reviews.
• Coordinate multi-discipline design (mechanical, piping, electrical/I&C, civil/structural,

BOP) to deliver an integrated, constructible, code-compliant plant.
• Draft and review engineering standards, technical specifications, and contract scopes for

EPC and major equipment.

Project Development:
• Support early-stage development, including technology configuration, process concept

selection, and trade studies on performance, cost, schedule, and risk.
• Work with commercial and finance teams to turn technical options into techno-economic

cases and support internal investment decisions.

Contribute to site evaluation, including footprint, access, constructability, interconnection,

and permitting; ensure findings are reflected in layout and basis of design.
• Lead preparation of RFPs for EPC and key vendors; lead or contribute to technical bid

evaluations and recommendations for award.
• Lead or contribute to technical bid evaluations and recommendations for award; support

negotiations on EPC and key supply agreements.

Qualifications
• 6-10+ years leading engineering and/or construction on large power or process-industry

projects (e.g., steam turbine or combined-cycle plants) with significant EPC or Owner's

Engineer interaction.
• Experience in both project development and execution, including concept development,

site evaluation, and support for EPC / major equipment contracting.
• Strong technical understanding of steam turbine power plants or closely related thermal

facilities, including major equipment and balance-of-plant systems.
• Hands-on experience with stage-gated engineering (FEL-1/2/3 or 30-60-90%) and with

construction engineering, procurement, field execution, and QA/QC.
• Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g., ASME, IEEE, ACI); experience with

nuclear or decarbonization technologies is a plus.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Civil, or related engineering

discipline.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills; willing to travel up to ~25% to

project sites and suppliers.
