• Coordinate engineering interfaces, scope boundaries, design inputs, deliverables, priorities, and technical decisions across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Coordinate civil, structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, architectural, and utility interfaces as applicable to assigned project scopes.
• Review engineering deliverables, equipment vendor documentation, technical submittals, drawings, specifications, QA/QC documentation, and construction work packages.
• Manage technical queries, RFIs, design clarifications, field changes, and engineering issues through resolution.
• Support constructability reviews, 3D model reviews, and coordination of field-driven design changes.
• Support procurement activities including technical requisitions, bid packages, vendor evaluations, technical submittals, vendor meetings, and long-lead equipment coordination.
• Provide field engineering support during construction, including site walkdowns, installation verification, constructability reviews, and resolution of field installation constraints.
• Coordinate with construction contractors to resolve conflicts involving piping, structural, electrical, instrumentation, paving, drainage, underground utilities, and other site infrastructure.
• Support mechanical completion, punch-list resolution, commissioning, startup readiness, system turnover, and project closeout activities.
• Coordinate with project controls and project management to monitor project progress, cost, schedule, procurement status, risks, and milestone completion.
• Identify schedule and cost impacts associated with technical issues, field conditions, procurement delays, and project changes and support recovery planning.
• Participate in applicable safety, constructability, PHA/HAZOP, commissioning, and operational readiness activities.
• Coordinate with operations, maintenance, reliability, E&I, environmental, safety, commissioning, and other project stakeholders to support successful system turnover and facility acceptance.
• Maintain project records, technical documentation, action items, status reporting, and information required for as-built documentation and project closeout.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, or other applicable Engineering discipline from an ABET-accredited university preferred. Construction Management or equivalent technical background may be considered with applicable industrial project experience.
• 3+ years of engineering, project engineering, or project execution experience in chemical, petrochemical, refining, oil & gas, power, or other heavy industrial environments preferred.
• Experience supporting detailed engineering and/or construction on major capital projects.
• Experience coordinating with engineering firms, EPC organizations, equipment vendors, and construction contractors.
• Field or in-plant experience with demonstrated understanding of constructability, installation constraints, operability, and maintainability.
• Working knowledge of engineering deliverables, construction execution, procurement, project controls, RFIs/submittals, and change management.
• Experience with Microsoft Office required.
• Familiarity with Primavera P6, document management systems, engineering deliverable tracking, RFI/submittal management, and major-project execution tools preferred.
• Ability to work in an industrial construction environment and participate in field walkdowns and construction progress monitoring.
• Ability and willingness to work alternative shifts/schedules as required during startup, shutdown, commissioning, inspections, or other critical project activities.
• Ability and willingness to climb stairs and ladders and work outdoors in an industrial construction environment as required.
• Ability to acquire and maintain a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) preferred/required based on project assignment.
