Project Engineer 

Missions and Responsibilities

Responsible for the performance of the engineering team within the project organization. The Project Engineer (PE) has three major key functions: 

• Organizing the engineering activities for the small to large scale project execution
• Supervision and coordination of the engineering activities, 
• Managing of internal and external interfaces of the project.

The PE significantly contributes to the overall project success and is responsible for:

• Leading the engineering team and ensures completeness of the engineering/design deliverables following the quality process in place and design reviews.
• Organizing the Engineering activities and defining the suitable engineering strategy to achieve projects objectives
• Besides full-time responsibility for the performance of the engineering team, the PE has an overall responsibility that is not limited to the engineering phase. The PE’s ownership reaches until acceptance of the plant.
• Managing the interfaces between the disciplines as well as between own and third-party supplied engineering and the client’s design representative.
• Ensuring the approval of all Project Technical Documents through project governance and ensuring adherence to company policies, processes, and procedures at both local and global levels.
