We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Engineer to lead and manage the Pre-FEED and FEED phases of a major debottlenecking project working Monday - Friday 40hrs a week.
This is an opportunity to join a project at an important early stage. Debottlenecking engineering will be undertaken in parallel with the initial plant start-up activities, allowing long-lead equipment to be identified and ordered early and enabling the subsequent detailed design and implementation phases to be accelerated.
The Senior Project Engineer will act as the owner’s in-house technical and project representative, providing oversight of the engineering contractor and ensuring the work is delivered safely, efficiently, and in alignment with project objectives.
Key Responsibilities:
• Manage the execution of the Pre-FEED and FEED scopes for the debottlenecking project.
• Provide oversight and coordination of engineering activities, deliverables, schedules, costs, and priorities.
• Ensure engineering work aligns with project objectives, operational requirements, applicable standards, and overall business priorities.
• Coordinate input and reviews from internal engineering, operations, maintenance, project, and other stakeholders.
• Facilitate technical reviews, design reviews, risk assessments, and key project decision points.
• Identify and manage engineering interfaces, risks, constraints, and opportunities.
• Support the early identification, specification, and procurement of long-lead equipment and materials.
• Monitor contractor performance and ensure engineering deliverables are completed to the required quality and schedule.
• Support development of the project execution strategy for detailed engineering and implementation.
• Ensure decisions, actions, changes, and technical requirements are appropriately documented and communicated.
• Provide regular reporting on engineering progress, risks, issues, and upcoming milestones.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation.
• 8+ years of project engineering experience within industrial, mining, mineral processing, energy, or other heavy industrial environments.
• Demonstrated experience managing Pre-FEED and/or FEED engineering scopes.
• Experience working with and managing external engineering consultants or EPC/EPCM contractors.
• Strong understanding of multidisciplinary engineering, design development, equipment procurement, and project execution.
• Experience identifying and managing long-lead equipment requirements is an asset.
• Strong project management, coordination, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to effectively manage competing priorities and drive decisions in a fast-paced project environment.
