Senior Project Engineer

Project: Al Sadr Simple Cycle to Combined Cycle Conversion Project — EPC (FEED phase) AND Project: Kirkuk Power Plant (KPP) — EPC

Location: United States, where FEED execution is expected; may be embedded in the FEED contractor's office
- Open to Remote for qualified candidate

Reports to: Project Manager (Al Sadr Project), based on site in Iraq

Direct reports: None direct; manages the FEED contractor (contractual) and site investigation contractors (with the site team)

The Senior Project Engineer leads SEGI's engineering during the pre-FEED and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase of the Al Sadr project. SEGI holds the turnkey EPC contract with the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity (MoE) and will self-manage construction, so the FEED must fix a design basis SEGI can build and guarantee under a fixed-price contract. The role leads pre-FEED definition and existing-plant data collection from MoE, working through the Project Manager and site team in Iraq, alongside day-to-day technical management of the FEED contractor.

A Project Engineer may be considered where EPC and brownfield experience is strong. EPC contractor experience is mandatory.

The existing Al Sadr plant operates four Siemens gas turbines in simple cycle (two SGT5-2000E and two V94.2 units, with different exhaust conditions). The project adds HRSGs, steam turbines and air-cooled condensers, tied into the operating plant, existing stacks, and switchyard. The FEED contractor will not visit site, so site and MoE information comes through SEGI's project team in Iraq.

• Lead definition of the project design basis before and during early FEED: fuel basis and quality (gas and liquid fuels), design ambient conditions, emissions limits, cooling, water supply and wastewater discharge, and grid connection.
• Flow down the MoE contract's technical requirements, codes and standards, and performance guarantees into the FEED scope, so the FEED is back-to-back with SEGI's obligations.
• Define the plant configuration questions the FEED must close, including HRSG and steam turbine arrangement for the two GT types and the bypass damper and stack interface.
• Identify where existing equipment must be assessed for combined-cycle operation (GT exhaust back-pressure, controls, electrical capacity, auxiliaries) and get that scope agreed and resourced.
• Support FEED contractor selection: technical evaluation, clarifications and closing out scope exclusions before award.
• Build and own the data request register and assumptions log for the existing plant.
• Obtain and verify existing-plant information from MoE and plant management, through the Project Manager and site team: as-built drawings, P&IDs, single-line diagrams, protection settings, the power system study model, operating and performance records, fuel and water analyses, and permits.
• Secure GT data from Siemens Energy (directly or through MoE's service arrangements) needed for the heat balance, HRSG design and controls integration.
• Define walkdown, verification and photographic survey requests for the site team, and review the results, since the FEED contractor will not visit site.
• Coordinate with the grid operator on connection, switchyard, and study requirements.
• Establish the MoE design review and approval process and manage MoE comments on FEED deliverables.

• Manage the site survey, 3D laser scan, ground-penetrating radar, and geotechnical investigation contracts with local contractors: scope, bid evaluation, award support, and review of deliverables and data quality, with on-site supervision by the site team.
• Keep these investigations on schedule, as they sit on the FEED critical path (civil design, layout, and tie-ins).
