Responsibilities

Own complex engineering issues during construction, commissioning, energization, and startup, and drive them through verified closure.
Review designs at the 30%, 60%, and 90% stages, IFC drawings, submittals, RFIs, and power system studies to identify technical and constructability risks.
Lead root cause analysis for equipment failures and system performance issues, then develop practical remediation plans.
Apply lessons from field issues to improve designs, standards, and future builds.
Evaluate complex field conditions and develop safe, practical engineering solutions when standard approaches are constrained.
Make data-based technical trade-offs that balance safety, reliability, quality, schedule, cost, and constructability.
Support Commissioning with load bank and testing strategies based on available power, cooling, equipment, and construction conditions.
Provide technical support for permitting and AHJ coordination, including responses to engineering comments and code or design issues.
Work across Design Engineering, Construction, Commissioning, Operations, Supply Chain, OEMs, and vendors to resolve technical issues affecting project milestones.
Evaluate field implementation of new engineering technologies and solutions.
Mentor engineers and contribute to technical standards and practical process improvements.
