Modularization Manager

Role Summary

The Modularization Manager is a senior engineering and construction leadership role, accountable for developing and executing the project-wide modularization and pre-assembly strategy for Blue Energy's Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) and Small Modular Reactor (SMR) power plant. The role owns all modular scope from early design collaboration through fabrication, transportation, and site installation, with the goal of reducing on-site construction risk, compressing the schedule, and improving craft labour productivity and safety.

The role is embedded in the owner's integrated project team and works across the EPC contractor, NSSS supplier, turbine island contractors, and balance-of-plant engineers. The successful candidate will draw on best practices from petrochemical, offshore, and advanced manufacturing to deliver a world-class modularization programme.

• Modularization Strategy & Planning

  • Develop and own the project-wide modularization execution plan, covering module types (structural, mechanical, electrical, piping, I&C), boundaries and interfaces, fabrication strategy, and site integration sequencing.

  • Conduct feasibility assessments and benefit analyses for all major plant systems including reactor island, turbine hall, HRSGs, feedwater, electrical/I&C, and balance-of-plant.

  • Establish module-size optimization criteria balancing fabrication efficiency, transportation constraints (road, rail, barge), and site installation capability.

  • Develop and maintain the Modularization Design Basis Document in alignment with project codes, NRC regulations, and owner requirements.

• Design Integration & Engineering Coordination

  • Collaborate with CCGT and NSSS suppliers and EPC engineering teams from earliest design phases to identify and capture modularization opportunities before design freeze.

  • Drive 'design for modularization' discipline across all engineering disciplines — civil/structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, and I&C.

  • Lead interface management between module fabrication and site construction design packages to eliminate dimensional and installation conflicts.

  • Oversee 3D model reviews and constructability walk-downs focused on module lift, rigging, transport, and installation access.

  • Ensure module design packages meet seismic qualification, QA classification, and applicable code requirements (ASME, AWS, IEEE).

• Fabrication Facility Management & Supplier Oversight

  • Identify, evaluate, and recommend module fabrication yard(s) and offsite pre-assembly facilities in coordination with procurement.

  • Work with Blue Energy QA team to qualify fabrication yards to 10 CFR 50 Appendix B requirements for nuclear safety-related modules.

  • Manage fabrication progress, schedule performance, and quality hold point compliance across all module suppliers; lead source inspections.

  • Oversee hydrostatic testing, pre-commissioning, preservation, and load-out activities at fabrication yards.

• Site Installation & Construction Integration

  • Manage integration of module installation into the overall site construction schedule, coordinating across structural, mechanical, electrical, and I&C teams.

  • Lead installation readiness reviews prior to each major module set; oversee field tie-in, final connections, post-installation inspections, and turnover documentation.

  • Coordinate with the commissioning team to ensure modularized systems are turned over in a pre-commissioned, test-ready condition.

• Schedule, Cost & Performance Management

  • Develop and maintain detailed modularization sub-schedules tied to the Level 3/4 integrated master schedule; track earned value and productivity metrics.

  • Identify schedule and cost risks; develop and implement mitigation plans; support change order evaluation for modularization scope changes.

  • Champion continuous improvement to increase module completeness, reduce site hook-up labor, and develop enhanced strategies for subsequent units.

• 10–15 years of engineering and construction experience on major power or industrial projects.

• Demonstrated experience managing large-scale modularization programs — from strategy and design integration through fabrication, transport, and site…
