• Assist in developing project scopes, cost estimates, schedules, and execution plans.
• Work closely with contractors, vendors, and internal teams to resolve technical issues and maintain project progress.
• Review engineering drawings, equipment specifications, technical documents, and contractor deliverables.
• Monitor project costs, schedules, and milestones, identifying potential risks and recommending corrective actions.
• Support procurement activities, equipment selection, contractor coordination, and construction oversight.
• Participate in field inspections, equipment installation, startup, commissioning, and operational handover.
• Maintain project documentation, progress reports, and change management records.
• Identify opportunities to improve project execution, safety, and overall operational performance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
• 7+ years of experience in project engineering, plant engineering, or capital project execution within industrial, manufacturing, or process facility environments.
• Experience supporting equipment installations, facility upgrades, construction, or capital improvement projects.
• Strong understanding of engineering design, procurement, construction, and commissioning activities.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.
• Experience coordinating contractors, vendors, and cross-functional engineering teams.
• Familiarity with project scheduling, budgeting, cost tracking, and change management.
• Proficiency with MS Project, Primavera P6, SAP, or similar tools preferred.
• Strong organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience with EPC/EPCM projects or FEL/Stage-Gate processes.

This is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience delivering meaningful capital projects within a growing industrial operation. You'll work alongside experienced engineering and project leadership, take ownership of increasingly complex projects, and have a clear path toward greater project management responsibility.

Competitive compensation, relocation assistance, and long-term career growth opportunities are available.
