Ideal person will support the Energy Supply Projects group, managing capital projects at multiple power generation facilities within the region. This role focuses on planning, budgeting, and executing a mix of small to mid-size reliability projects, while also assisting with larger base and major capital efforts.

Although the title includes “Engineer,” this is primarily a project management-focused role that requires an engineering background. The position involves managing multiple projects from concept through completion, including developing scopes of work, coordinating contractors, procuring materials, and ensuring safe and efficient project execution.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage and execute emergent and capital projects across several power plant sites (up to ~20 smaller projects at once).
  • Collaborate with operations and reliability engineering teams to identify plant needs, develop project scopes, justifications, and cost estimates.
  • Lead projects through the internal capital request and approval process, ensuring alignment with reliability goals and timelines.
  • Coordinate work with contractors, vendors, and external engineering firms, including material procurement, scheduling, and installation activities.
  • Attend daily POD meetings to align on plant priorities and critical activities.
  • Prepare and manage all project documentation, including specifications, bids, cost tracking, and closeout packages.
  • Monitor budgets and expenditures, maintaining accuracy in financial reporting.
  • Uphold all safety and operational compliance standards throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Drive process improvements and contribute to plant reliability initiatives.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or a related discipline).
  • 2 years of engineering or project management experience within a manufacturing, industrial, or plant environment.
  • Strong ability to multi-task and prioritize projects without sacrificing quality.
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Excel).
  • Basic understanding of technical drawings and specifications (no CAD work required).
  • Willingness and ability to travel between plant sites as needed.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Passed or pursuing the FE (Fundamentals of Engineering) exam.
  • Experience managing contractors or external vendors.
  • Prior exposure to energy, utilities, or power generation projects.
  • Familiarity with ProjectWise or other document management systems.
