• Provide technical validation and subject matter expertise to internal and external engineers.
• Optimize timelines and safety through pre-assembly, modular design, and alternative construction strategies.
• Drive constructability reviews and promote off-site construction where value is added.
• Prioritize capital cost reduction and critical path activities to maximize business value.
• Ensure adherence to engineering best practices, gated reviews, and specification governance.
• Support sourcing in evaluating and selecting EPC/EPCM suppliers.
• Track and report project performance against defined metrics.
• Participate in initiatives related to process safety, compliance, and strategic improvements.
• Guide and mentor internal engineering teams and stakeholders.
• Ensure all projects align with scope, cost, safety, and operational expectations.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office; familiarity with AutoCAD and 3D modeling tools preferred.
• PMP certification and/or OSHA 10-hour certification a plus.
