Job Description
Summary The Project Engineer will coordinate engineering activities across substation projects and serve as a key technical connection between engineering teams, project management, procurement, suppliers, customers, and the field. This is not a hands-on CAD/design production position. The Project Engineer needs enough substation design experience to understand drawings, ask the right technical questions, and coordinate effectively with engineering teams, but the day-to-day focus is project execution, communication, schedule coordination, and issue resolution.
Responsibilities
- Coordinate engineering activities and deliverables across multiple disciplines.
- Track engineering schedules, open items, and technical dependencies to keep projects moving.
- Lead and participate in technical meetings with engineers, customers, suppliers, and project teams.
- Review and understand substation drawings and engineering documentation to support technical coordination.
- Partner with procurement and suppliers on equipment specifications, technical evaluations, and design reviews.
- Coordinate technical questions and issues between engineering and construction/commissioning teams.
- Help manage engineering changes and communicate potential impacts to project scope, schedule, and delivery.
- Proactively identify issues, engage the appropriate technical resources, and drive follow-through.
