• Ensures engineering quality through reviews and checks of the work of other engineers and engineering associates.
• Performs electrical and controls engineering calculations, prepares technical reports, develops design criteria, selects material, and determines physical arrangements for electrical features; takes into account performance, cost, operability, maintainability, and applicable codes and standards.
• Develops, reviews, and interprets engineering drawings and data.
• Directs the preparation of engineering record drawings for equipment installation and maintenance.
• Prepares engineering cost estimates.
• Provides procurement support by preparation of requisitions, evaluating proposals, negotiating with offers, reviewing vendor submittals, and coordinating meetings with vendors.
• Provides field engineering including walk-downs, construction support, testing and startup.
• May perform Design Changes (DCNs).
• Development or revision of processes/standards related to guidance and development of best practice engineering standards.
• May plan, develop, coordinate, lead and direct the performance of projects of moderate scope or parts of major projects.
• The incumbent is responsible for the business as well as the technical aspects of the entire project. Business responsibilities include, but are not limited to, budget, schedule, cost analysis and forecasting, work planning, monitoring and controlling expenditures, and change control.
