Lead project governance : stage-gates, AFEs, basis-of-estimate development, risk / contingency planning, and benefits realization.

Supervise multi-discipline engineering design, ensuring compliance with specifications, MOC requirements, and applicable industry codes and standards.

Translate PHA / HAZOP / LOPA findings into engineered solutions; assure SIS lifecycle requirements and relief system adequacy.

Manage cost, schedule, and change control; maintain monthly forecasts and defend estimates with quantity-based progress.

Select, negotiate, and administer contracting strategies (EPC / CM, unit-rate, T&M, lump sum); steward vendor FAT / SAT activities.

Coordinate procurement processes including RFQs, bid evaluations, ITPs, metallurgy reviews, and documentation requirements.

Lead constructability reviews, tie-in planning, commissioning, and readiness activities to achieve safe and timely RFSU.

Deliver complete turnover packages including redlines, data books, equipment files, and CMMS load sheets.

Recruit, coach, and develop engineering talent; set performance expectations and model Ergon values in daily leadership.

Build strong cross-functional relationships with Operations, Process Engineering, Inspection / RBI, HSE, Maintenance / Reliability, Finance, and vendor partners.

Basic Qualifications

B.S. degree in Mechanical, Chemical, or Electrical Engineering.

8–12 years of refinery project engineering experience, including 3+ years leading teams or workstreams executing $1–15MM projects.

Demonstrated success delivering brownfield unit revamps and tie-ins in operating refinery environments.

Strong working knowledge of PSM (29 CFR 1910.119), MOC / PSSR processes, PHAs / LOPAs, SIS lifecycle (ISA-84 / IEC 61511), and relief systems (API 520 / 521).

Proficiency with applicable codes and standards (e.g., ASME B31.3, ASME VIII-1, API 2000 / 2350 / 650, API 579, NFPA 30, NEC, ISA-84).

Hands-on experience with constructability reviews, field execution planning, vendor surveillance, and commissioning.

Competence with MS Project or Primavera, cost control tools, document control systems, P&IDs, 3D models, and engineering data sheets.

Preferred Qualifications

Professional Engineer (PE) license and / or PMP certification.

Experience integrating projects into turnaround windows and supporting tie-in execution.

Familiarity with RBI programs, decoke / energy efficiency initiatives, APC interfaces, or emissions / LDAR project scopes.

Working knowledge of AutoCAD / Plant 3D, SmartPlant / Hexagon, AVEVA, or Power BI for portfolio reporting.
