In this role, you will help manage the flow of information across engineering, procurement, construction, and operations teams.

  • Develop, maintain, and run review/approval workflows for engineering documents, vendor submittals, and project deliverables
  • Coordinate cross-discipline engineering reviews, ensuring timely engagement from process, mechanical, structural, piping, electrical, instrumentation, and construction teams
  • Track engineering deliverables and action items, maintaining up-to-date logs, trackers, and registers to ensure alignment with the project schedule
  • Manage Requests for Information (RFIs), ensuring timely routing, follow-up, closure, and documentation
  • Support the preparation of project dashboards, KPIs, and progress reports for internal leadership and external partners
  • Assist in developing and maintaining project documentation standards, naming conventions, and workflows to ensure consistency across the project
  • Support interface management, helping resolve gaps and issues between disciplines, vendors, and EPC partners
  • Participate in model reviews, design reviews, and coordination meetings, capturing action items and ensuring follow-through
  • Assist in building and improving digital project-execution tools, contributing feedback to help automate workflows and enhance project visibility
  • Support procurement and construction teams, including tracking vendor data, coordinating submittal reviews, and managing deliverable exchanges

What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Chemical, Mechanical, Civil, Industrial, or related discipline)
  • 0–5 years of relevant experience in project engineering, project management, EPC/EPCM environments, or industrial project support roles
  • Familiarity with EPC project workflows, including document control, design reviews, RFI management, vendor coordination, and multidisciplinary engineering processes
  • Proficiency in project-engineering tools, such as document-management systems (Aconex, Procore, Asite, SharePoint, etc.), dashboards, spreadsheets, and workflow tools
  • Experience building dashboards or trackers (Excel, Power BI, Smartsheet, Notion, or similar)
  • Strong communication and coordination skills, with the ability to interface across disciplines and follow up effectively with teammates and external partners
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, first-principles-oriented environment, managing competing priorities under schedule pressure
