Project Engineer (02 Years Fixed Term Contract)

KEY EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTS
Feasibility studies for machine relocation, utility modification, and engineering improvement projects are conducted, and technically viable solutions are identified considering cost, schedule, risk, safety, and operational requirements.
Machine relocation projects are completed successfully through effective planning, dismantling, transportation, installation, alignment, commissioning, and performance verification, with minimal disruption to production operations.
Integration studies are carried out in collaboration with relevant stakeholders to ensure technical compatibility, operational effectiveness, and compliance with project requirements.
Engineering changes related to machinery, layouts, and utility systems are managed in accordance with established engineering change processes, ensuring appropriate documentation, traceability, and implementation.
Fabrication and installation engineering activities—including the preparation and review of fabrication drawings, material ordering, CdC and RFQ preparation, engineering and fabrication supervision, machinery installation and relocation, on-site installation supervision, supplier coordination, layout and dimensional verification, and final acceptance—are planned, coordinated, and executed in compliance with approved designs, applicable standards, quality requirements, and project schedules.
Project schedules, risk assessments, method statements, and execution plans are developed and implemented to ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and within agreed timelines.
Engineering quality processes, including risk assessments, design reviews, validation activities, and non-conformity management, are applied throughout project execution to ensure compliance with engineering and quality standards.
Installation, commissioning, qualification, and validation activities are completed, and equipment and utility systems are verified to meet defined performance, safety, and reliability requirements.
Technical support is provided to plant development, capacity expansion, and continuous improvement initiatives through engineering expertise, problem-solving, and validation of proposed solutions.
Accurate technical documentation, engineering drawings, layouts, reports, and As-Built records are maintained and kept up to date throughout the project lifecycle.
Utility shutdowns, startups, contractor activities, and stakeholder communications are effectively coordinated to ensure smooth project execution and operational continuity.
Opportunities for improving equipment reliability, utility efficiency, operational performance, and cost effectiveness are identified, evaluated, and implemented where appropriate.
Technical information is documented and communicated through reports, specifications, reviews, and project deliverables to support informed decision-making and knowledge sharing.
