Project Engineer

About this role

As the Project Engineer you will consistently coordinate various engineering activities to complete the project’s design. You will have influence in the project budget schedule and quality standards. Your input will help in improving the design and create cost-effective solutions. Everything that you work on will be compliant with regulations, budget, and design requirements.

The Project Manager and Project Engineering Leader will be your key points of contact within the company. You’ll report to them when you’re defining the budget for engineering activities, and scheduling regular meetings. Any changes to the status of the project will need to be reported to the PM and the PEL.

Your duties fall within a few broad categories:

Planning- Planning the engineering activities for all assigned projects and monitoring the activities progress in compliance with the schedule defined on the general document list.

Technical Support- Providing technical specifications and tender documents for the acquisition of the materials expected for each project. This will be in accordance with the terms of supply and calculated according to the design data.

Compliance- Checking all the licensing documents and incorporate permit conditions. You’ll need to make sure to comply with the local standards required for each specific project

Meeting- Organizing weekly meetings to share and update engineering progress for all jobs. You’ll raise any problems that have emerged during engineering development. Organizing regular meetings (bi-weekly) with relevant people responsible for each topic. This is a necessary step for you when you need to submit improvements of technical aspects. This may involve the Project Engineering Leader (PEL) if necessary.

Risk assessment- Creating risk assessment for each project to identify risks and their mitigation.

You'll be able to take a bird's eye view of the project, without losing your focus on the detail. Experience on a range of different projects will set you up perfectly for this role.
