Key Responsibilities

• Establish clear priorities, workloads, and schedules across projects
• Implement and enforce project workflows, QA/QC, and standards

• Partner with leadership on hiring, staffing, and team development
• Develop and review scopes, estimates, and deliverables for accuracy and alignment with client expectations
Education & Experience
• 10 years engineering and project management experience (industrial preferred)
• Professional engineering license required (or plan to be acquired within 6 months of hiring)
• Proven experience leading engineering/design teams and supporting and developing others
• Strong in execution, making sound decisions, and consistently following through to completion
• Comfortable managing multiple projects and priorities
• Experience with project delivery in refinery, chemical, or industrial environments
Who You Are

• You hold yourself and others accountable
• You bring structure, clarity, and follow-through to a team
