The Project Engineer III contributes to technical integration, supports resolution of moderately complex issues, and assists in guiding project execution strategy with moderate latitude for independent judgment.

Job Profile Tasks/Responsibilities:

• Plan, coordinate, and execute moderately complex engineering scope in alignment with project objectives, schedules, budgets, and deliverable requirements, under the general guidance of senior engineers.
• Provide technical inputs and support coordination of activities across multidisciplinary engineering teams and cross-functional partners, including project controls, licensing, supply chain, quality, safety, manufacturing, testing, operations, and construction.
• Support resolution of moderately complex technical, programmatic, interface, and execution issues affecting scope, schedule, quality, and delivery performance for assigned scope, escalating highly complex issues to senior engineers.
• Support and contribute to project engineering priorities, execution strategies, and integration plans to support timely and high-quality delivery of engineering work products.
• Track engineering deliverables, interfaces, action items, decisions, assumptions, and technical issues for assigned scope to support disciplined project execution.
• Support identification of technical, schedule, cost, and execution risks for assigned scope; assist in developing mitigation strategies; and support closure of routine issues in partnership with project and functional leadership.
• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to help ensure technical requirements, deliverable expectations, design interfaces, and execution dependencies are understood and managed for assigned scope.
• Support integration of assigned engineering work products into broader project execution plans and help ensure alignment with contractual, programmatic, customer, licensing, and regulatory requirements.
• Participate in and help coordinate technical reviews, design reviews, status reviews, readiness reviews, and cross-functional planning activities for assigned scope to support decision-making and issue resolution.
• Support development and maintenance of project engineering documentation for assigned scope, including engineering plans, interface management documentation, decision logs, risk registers, action tracking tools, and execution metrics.
