Identify and manage interfaces between engineering disciplines, suppliers, contractors, regulatory requirements, environmental requirements, and other project stakeholders.

Serve as a key technical interface with clients, including leading engineering coordination meetings, presenting design progress, communicating technical issues and risks, and resolving client comments.

Oversee engineering document control processes, including revision management, review workflows, document status tracking, and controlled issuance of engineering deliverables.

Coordinate with Project Managers and discipline leads to identify resource, schedule, scope, budget, and technical priority concerns.

Lead engineering coordination for supply and construction tender packages, including drawings, specifications, scopes of work, technical requirements, bidder clarifications, technical evaluations, and procurement support.

Guide engineering activities during construction, including RFIs, contractor submittals, field changes, non-conformances, design clarifications, and resolution of construction issues while maintaining design intent.

Perform or contribute to technical design and analysis within the candidate’s area of expertise, where appropriate.

Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the development of effective multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Work safely and report all health and safety concerns.

Perform additional duties as required.
