About The Position

This role is for a Mechanical Engineer III who will be responsible for performing all aspects of complete designs for small and large mechanical engineering assignments, utilizing theoretical knowledge and practical design methods. The work will be performed under general supervision. The primary responsibilities include supporting site management with contractor oversight and contract administration, field coordination of activities, and administrative tasks related to contract documentation. This involves managing project specifications, drawings, general conditions, and special conditions. The role also requires ensuring contractor adherence to site safety procedures, including behavior-based safety (BBS) and Stop Work Authority (SWA) programs, as well as participating in Southern Safety Trilateral (SST) front-line supervisor training. Quality procedures and programs must also be adhered to, including participation in a quality surveillance program. Daily activities and contractor interactions need to be documented in Unifier. The engineer will attend project meetings, interpret technical specifications and drawings, coordinate material and equipment deliveries, and complete necessary deliverables. A key responsibility is ensuring contractors follow LOTO and confined space procedures, acting as the Purchaser's representative for LOTO execution. The role involves assisting the Purchaser with developing scopes of work, year-end contractor evaluations, contract closeout activities, and invoice validation. Daily activities must be coordinated to support the project, and the engineer must be able to respond to site/project conditions with minimal direction. Immediate reporting of incidents, unsafe conditions, or unusual activities to the Purchaser's onsite representative is mandatory.
