E&C Engineer

E&C Engineer I

The E&C Engineer I will support a regional energy supply projects group, helping manage capital projects across multiple power generation facilities. Although the formal title is "E&C Engineer," the role functions largely as a project engineer/project manager, overseeing a wide range of emergent and base capital projects while collaborating closely with internal operations, reliability engineering teams, and external vendors.

This position requires an engineering background combined with strong project leadership skills. The engineer may manage up to 20 small projects simultaneously, while also supporting larger capital initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage emergent, base, and major capital projects from conception through completion
