Sr. Project Engineer | MGEN Thermal

The Sr. Project Engineer serves as the project engineering integration lead within the Technical Department. The role supports the Technical Head and senior discipline engineers in translating project objectives into complete, coordinated and execution-ready engineering requirements for energy infrastructure projects. The role coordinates multi-disciplinary technical inputs across civil, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and controls, grid, environmental, safety, fuel, balance-of-plant and technology-specific workstreams. It supports projects across coal, Battery Energy Storage System, liquefied natural gas, nuclear, gas, grid-interconnected generation and other current or future energy technologies. The Sr. Project Engineer is responsible for coordinating project engineering deliverables, supporting preparation of technical bid packages, managing technical clarification logs, supporting technical evaluation of proposals, tracking engineering review comments, consolidating technical risk items and ensuring that technical decisions are properly documented, traceable and aligned with approved project requirements. The role works closely with consultants, owner's engineers, Engineering, Procurement and Construction contractors, original equipment manufacturers, grid stakeholders and other external technical parties to help ensure that projects are technically sound, properly specified, competitively procured, constructible, commissionable and suitable for handover to operations. Project Engineering Integration and Technical Coordination
• Act as the Technical Department's project engineering coordinator for assigned projects, packages or workstreams from development through procurement, engineering, execution support, commissioning support and handover.
• Coordinate technical inputs from civil, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and controls, grid, environmental, safety, fuel, balance-of-plant and technology-specific specialists to ensure complete and integrated project requirements.
• Maintain alignment among project objectives, basis of design, technical specifications, permit conditions, grid requirements, operating requirements, maintainability requirements and lifecycle performance expectations.
• Support the Technical Head in assigning, tracking and closing engineering deliverables, discipline comments, technical action items, interface items and technical decision records.
• Ensure that project engineering outputs are clear, complete, traceable and usable by Project Development, Project Execution, Project Controls, Procurement, Legal, Commercial and Operations teams. Bid Package Preparation and Technical Procurement Support
• Support preparation, consolidation and quality review of technical bid packages for Engineering, Procurement and Construction contracts, major equipment supply, owner's engineering, technical advisory, construction, testing, commissioning and other project-related services.
• Develop or coordinate technical scopes of work, owner's technical requirements, specifications, data sheets, drawings, deliverable lists, bidder submission requirements, technical schedules, performance requirements, testing requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Maintain technical bid package registers, responsibility matrices, battery limit definitions, interface lists, clarification logs, assumptions registers and technical risk lists during tender preparation.
• Coordinate with Procurement and Legal to ensure that technical requirements are properly reflected in tender documents, contract schedules, annexes, warranties, guarantees, deliverables and acceptance obligations.
• Support pre-bid meetings, bidder technical clarifications, site visit preparations and controlled issuance of technical responses to bidders. Technical Evaluation of Proposals and Contractor / Consultant Assessment
• Support the Technical Head and senior discipline engineers in evaluating technical proposals, bidder compliance, contractor capabilities, consultant qualifications, original equipment manufacturer support, project references and proposed technical solutions.
• Prepare and maintain technical evaluation matrices, compliance checklists, deviation registers, clarification trackers, bidder comparison tables, risk summaries and draft technical evaluation reports.
• Review bidder assumptions, exclusions, qualifications, alternates, exceptions, performance guarantees, equipment selections, design approaches, execution methodologies and commissioning commitments for completeness and acceptability.
• Coordinate technical clarification meetings and ensure that bidder responses are properly documented, evaluated and reflected in the technical recommendation.
• Help ensure that technical recommendations for award are evidence-based, commercially usable, risk-informed and aligned with approved technical requirements and MGen's project objectives. Engineering Design Review, Interface Management and Deliverables Control
• Coordinate review of engineering deliverables from consultants, owner's engineers, contractors, suppliers and original equipment manufacturers, including drawings, design reports, calculations, data sheets, specifications, schedules, studies, method statements and technical submissions.
• Maintain engineering deliverable registers, review trackers, comment resolution logs, design change registers, technical query registers, interface registers and records of technical decisions for assigned projects.
• Support discipline engineers in checking whether design submissions are consistent with the approved basis of design, contract requirements, applicable codes, permits, grid requirements, safety standards and operational requirements.
• Identify unresolved interfaces among civil, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and controls, grid, fuel, environmental, logistics, site, construction, commissioning and operations requirements.
• Escalate material design gaps, late deliverables, recurring comments, interface conflicts, contractor non-responsiveness and technical risks to the Technical Head for decision or escalation. Execution, Commissioning and Handover Technical Support
• Support Project Execution during detailed engineering, procurement, factory inspection, fabrication, delivery, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, testing, reliability run, completion and handover by coordinating technical inputs and documentation.
• Assist in reviewing requests for information, field technical queries, non-conformance reports, technical deviations, substitutions, method statements, inspection and test plans, quality records, factory acceptance test records, site acceptance test records and commissioning procedures.
• Coordinate Technical Department inputs on technical changes, variation assessments, claims support, defects, punch list items and contractor proposals affecting scope, quality, safety, performance, cost, schedule, warranties or long-term asset value.
• Support review of commissioning plans, energization plans, performance test procedures, reliability run requirements, grid compliance testing requirements, acceptance documentation and turnover packages.
• Help ensure that as-built drawings, operating manuals, maintenance manuals, warranties, spare parts lists, training records, test reports, permits, certificates and technical handover documents are complete and suitable for Operations and Maintenance use. Project Technical Reporting, Risk Governance and Continuous Improvement
• Prepare technical status updates, engineering progress inputs, issue summaries, technical risk updates, decision papers, presentation materials and management reports for the Technical Head and project governance forums.
• Maintain project technical risk registers, issue logs, action trackers, design review dashboards, technical evaluation records and lessons learned registers for assigned projects or packages.
• Coordinate with other departments to align technical deliverables, engineering milestones, procurement technical requirements, decision dates, schedule risks and reporting inputs.
• Support technical governance, stage-gate reviews, assurance reviews, audit readiness and evidence-based documentation of technical decisions.
• Capture recurring technical issues, specification gaps, procurement lessons, design review findings and commissioning lessons for incorporation into future technical standards, bid packages and project execution practices. Qualifications
