  • Maximize value from Engineering Service Providers (ESPs) by proactive monitoring of performance and reducing variations.
  • Assist in the preparation of operational readiness deliverables.
  • Ensure engineering design quality through experience and adherence to standards.
  • Ensure compliance with specifications and minimize excess scope items.
  • Prepare responses to contractor technical queries within contractual time targets.
  • Maximize re-usability of engineering design.
  • Assist and validate in the construction, commissioning, and handover phases of the project.
Core Activities include:
  • Contribute to safe, timely, cost-effective, and technically sound designs.
  • Maximize design re-usability to reduce future costs.
  • Ensure project design alignment with specifications and contracts.
  • Align design plans with project phases and optimize deliverables before design begins.
  • Manage the design change process and ensure design deliverables are returned.
  • Contribute to operational readiness by reviewing spares, maintainability, and operational costs.
  • Consider safe construction methodologies during the design phase.
  • Participate in hazard identification and risk assessment processes.
  • Contribute to a total safety culture within the Capital Group.
  • Apply current best technology and standards to design and maintainability.
  • Ensure compliance with Engineering Standards and Statutory Regulations.
  • Manage engineering consistent with specifications and contracts.
  • Review, assess, and prepare engineering specifications.
  • Ensure alignment of engineering deliverables with overall procurement plan and contracts.
  • Assist in developing construction plans and ensuring constructability of the design.
  • Monitor cost impact related to construction-initiated design changes.
  • Define and ensure required as-builts are completed and returned.
What we offer:

A competitive hourly rate ($120 per hour), flexible working options across a Monday to Friday working week, and the opportunity to blend office and site-based work while being home every night.

Requirements:
