PURPOSE OF ROLE
Provide specialist inputs and support to ensure professional and compliant designs are produced on time, within budget, and to specifications with multi-disciplinary Green-fields and Brownfields project environment within the Power Generation / Oil & Gas Industry. Produce quality and professional engineering outputs that satisfy all requirements (Client, Codes, and Standards) by adhering to internal engineering processes.
This is a 100% technical role, predominantly based in a Multi-disciplinary Design Office, with no direct reports within the functional organogram. However, the role involves providing guidance to Junior Engineers/Technologists and Engineers in Training (EITs). It will be expected that the candidate can act as the Lead Engineer when assigned to specific projects managing 2 to 5 C&I design team members within the project organogram.
