Sr Project Engineer - I&E

The Senior Project Engineer – I&E facilitates the development of a portfolio of capital and OPEX projects for the Geismar site. During the development of projects, they will perform engineering tasks including engineering analysis of drawings, system and functional requirements, hazard analysis and vendor performance specifications. This will involve collaborating with multiple partners from all levels of the organization to determine data and requirements for technical solutions.

A key aspect of these activities includes a focus on improving life-cycle costs by evaluating emerging technologies and technical solutions, meeting project development milestones, and ensuring quality, integrity, safety, and regulatory compliance of projects in accordance with all applicable codes and Methanex standards and procedures.

For capital projects, this includes the initial 3 stages of a capital project (Visualization, Conceptualization and Basic Engineering), as well as monitoring the successful completion of detailed engineering, utilizing the Manufacturing Capital Management Process (MCMP). Once detailed engineering is complete, and capital funding is granted, the Senior Project Engineer – I&E will provide support to the execution lead and follow through with formal project closeout activities.

OPEX project development will be more tactical in nature than capital projects and may include aspects related to the instrumentation and electrical fields, including instrumentation systems design, process control elements, control loops, low, medium and high voltage systems, or to provide solutions for problems presenting operational, safety or maintenance challenges through the utilization of a Management of Change (MOC) process.

Provides Q/A support and Subject Matter Expert (SME) support to peer Project Engineers on other assigned capital and OPEX projects and along with tactical support for site electrical issues.

• Utilizes the Manufacturing Capital Management Process (MCMP) procedure to progress a project from initiation to completion.
• Manages Technical small to mid-sized capital projects from Stages 1 to 3 as per MCMP.
• Supports the execution leads on projects progressing from Stage 4 to close-out as per MCMP.
• Provides Q/A support to other project leads and their portfolios.
• Leads the selection of alternative studies during Stage 2 as per MCMP.
• Manages contract engineering services related to conceptual studies and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED).
• Leads the request for funding (AFE) on capital projects assigned as per MCMP.
• Utilizes appropriate codes and standards, calculations and specifications.
• Ensures all assigned Instrument and Electrical tactical issues, such as modifications, troubleshooting and OPEX projects are managed such that the safety, quality, cost and schedule targets are achieved.
• Develops scopes of work for I/E OPEX modifications following the global Management of Change (MOC) process.
• Effective collaboration with the Maintenance Department on the troubleshooting, assessment, evaluation, inspection and recommended solutions related to I/E system issues in general.
• Contributes to the design approval process on assigned OPEX projects and small modifications to ensure input is obtained from the appropriate disciplines and changes are made to the design as required.
• Ensures appropriate hazard and risk reviews are conducted and all issues identified are actioned. Participates as Instrumentation and Electrical SME during HAZOPs and similar risk assessments, when required.
• Supports plant Operations, Maintenance and other stakeholders with Instrumentation and Electrical engineering services requests related to safety and reliability vulnerabilities in the…
