Project Engineer, Electrical Engineering

Overview

A Project Engineer III is directly responsible for the technical excellence and the technical coordination of assigned projects and indirectly responsible for project profitability, with these responsibilities crossing multiple engineering disciplines. This individual will guide the engineering process in addition to monitoring all phases of work beyond engineering such as procurement, manufacturing, erection, and commissioning. As the project technical liaison, they will be intimately involved with communications between both internal and external customers, and will strive to reduce costs in all project phases to ensure profitability while maintaining schedule commitments.

This person will be able to technically lead very large projects including full scope projects with consortium partners, construction, extended scope, etc. where B&W has primary control.

• Act as a technical extension of the Project Manager coordinating development and exchange of information, and technical correspondence between the customer, A/E, vendors, B&W (external and internal) and other organizations working on the Project.
• Lead discussions with AEs or customers, and with vendors providing equipment on routine and unique first‑of‑a‑kind applications.
• Use understanding of contract obligations for the assignment, including scope, cost, schedule, and scope‑split responsibilities of other PEs on the project.
• Participate with the Project Manager as the technical lead during customer project meetings, provide evaluations of potential first‑time vendors, and participate in projects where joint‑venture and licensee interfacing is required.
• Serve as the technical interface between B&W, customers, vendors, sub‑let engineers, fabricators and the erector, and represent B&W technically at site during construction and commissioning. Activities include development of specifications, document submittal requirements, resolution of questions, monitoring of schedule commitments and cost allocations, directing Purchasing on procurement of commodities, and monitoring invoicing as required.
• Monitor engineering man‑hour expenditures and manage technical guarantee risk throughout the project, resolving problems during manufacture, construction and start‑up phases.
• Coordinate resolution of engineering errors, participate in QA inspections, support resolution of vendor claims, and work with the erector to solve field fit‑up problems and disposition of Site Problem Reports.
• Actively work with Project Controls to ensure compliance throughout all project phases by identifying project changes, evaluating potential cost variances, and determining schedule impact before changes are implemented.
• Manage engineering change control with minimum supervision to maintain engineering schedule and man‑hour estimates.
• Support department/company process improvement activities and mentor less‑experienced PEs.
• Review proposal specifications for potential projects, detect areas requiring clarification or exception, and negotiate terms with the customer. Work with customers and potential partners when project alliances are formed to ensure division of work is well defined and that B&W is well positioned to complete its potential scope of work.
• Perform all other duties as assigned.

• Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering or Technology.
• 12‑15 years’ experience in a relevant field preferred.
• A Professional Engineer’s license is desirable.
• Must have relevant engineering background and sufficient knowledge and interpersonal skills to coordinate multiple engineering activities simultaneously.
• Excellent interpersonal skills to coordinate multiple engineering activities simultaneously.
