Project Engineer

A project engineer (PJE) is responsible for managing and coordinating all engineering activities within a

project to ensure successful delivery in line with contract requirements, quality standards, schedule, and

budget. The role involves cross-functional coordination, technical leadership, risk identification, and

ensuring seamless integration across all engineering disciplines.

Key Responsibilities

1. Contract & Technical Management

Possess a strong understanding of contract requirements and technical specifications.

Develop integrated multidisciplinary engineering designs in compliance with contract scope and

applicable standards.

Identify “grey areas” in the contract and highlight associated risks and opportunities.

Monitor and control technical scope throughout the project lifecycle.

Identify and prepare engineering scope changes and present them to the project manager.

2. Engineering Planning & Strategy

Define engineering strategy and provide inputs to the Project Execution Plan (PEP).

Guide the overall engineering process aligned with project objectives.

Ensure adherence to the Standard Project Execution Flow (SPEF).

Incorporate lessons learned from previous projects into ongoing engineering activities.

3. Coordination & Communication

Lead coordination among different engineering disciplines to ensure design integration.

Ensure effective communication of all design changes across the project team.

Manage engineering communication with internal stakeholders, vendors, and external parties.

Facilitate and lead SCRUM sessions to drive progress and resolve issues.

4. Engineering Control & Documentation

Initiate and oversee preparation of the Document Status List (DSL) in line with PMO templates. 12/16/2025

Review DSL to ensure completeness and alignment with project schedule and interdisciplinary

dependencies.

Manage engineering document flow across all stakeholders.

Ensure all engineering deliverables undergo required checks and approvals.

5. Procurement & Vendor Management

Review and approve purchase requisitions (PR).

Manage outsourced engineering packages in coordination with lead/package engineers.

Ensure vendor deliverables meet project requirements and timelines.

6. Quality, Risk & Compliance

Ensure all engineering activities comply with quality standards and contractual obligations.

Conduct necessary design reviews and checks to maintain engineering integrity.

Consult Product Technology Manager when design deviates from standard or proven solutions.

7. Budget & Schedule Management

Monitor and control engineering activities within approved budget and timelines.

Provide regular updates and forecasts on engineering progress.

8. Construction & Site Support

Coordinate resolution of technical queries from the construction site.

Provide engineering support during project execution and site activities.

Address engineering issues proactively to avoid delays or rework.

9. Deliverables Management

Ensure timely preparation and submission of all engineering deliverables.

Oversee preparation of spare parts list as per standard templates.
