    and deliverables and run design and progress reviews.

    • Oversee technical performance of the EPC; review key engineering deliverables and

    manage RFIs, design changes, and other technical issues.

    • Work with supply chain to plan procurement of major equipment and materials; ensure

    vendor compliance and support FATs and inspections as needed.

    • Help translate engineering into construction-ready work packages and execution plans;

    provide engineering support during construction, commissioning, and startup.

    • Identify and manage technical and regulatory risks; ensure compliance with applicable

    codes/standards and champion safety-by-design.

    • Help define internal roles, support hiring and onboarding, and mentor engineers; improve

    Engineering Development:

    • Plan and manage engineering maturity from FEL-1 through FEL-3 (or 30-60-90%), defining

    deliverables, quality criteria, and gate reviews.

    • Coordinate multi-discipline design (mechanical, piping, electrical/I&C, civil/structural,

    BOP) to deliver an integrated, constructible, code-compliant plant.

    • Draft and review engineering standards, technical specifications, and contract scopes for

    EPC and major equipment.

    Project Development:

    • Support early-stage development, including technology configuration, process concept

    selection, and trade studies on performance, cost, schedule, and risk.

    • Work with commercial and finance teams to turn technical options into techno-economic

    cases and support internal investment decisions.

    Contribute to site evaluation, including footprint, access, constructability, interconnection,

    and permitting; ensure findings are reflected in layout and basis of design.

    • Lead preparation of RFPs for EPC and key vendors; lead or contribute to technical bid

    evaluations and recommendations for award.

    • Lead or contribute to technical bid evaluations and recommendations for award; support

    negotiations on EPC and key supply agreements.

    Qualifications

    • 6–10+ years leading engineering and/or construction on large power or process-industry

    projects (e.g., steam turbine or combined-cycle plants) with significant EPC or Owner’s

    Engineer interaction.

    • Experience in both project development and execution, including concept development,

    site evaluation, and support for EPC / major equipment contracting.

    • Strong technical understanding of steam turbine power plants or closely related thermal

    facilities, including major equipment and balance-of-plant systems.

    • Hands-on experience with stage-gated engineering (FEL-1/2/3 or 30-60-90%) and with

    construction engineering, procurement, field execution, and QA/QC.

    • Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g., ASME, IEEE, ACI); experience with

    nuclear or decarbonization technologies is a plus.

    • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Civil, or related engineering

    discipline.

    • Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills; willing to travel up to ~25% to

    project sites and suppliers.
