As a Senior Project Engineer on the Capital Projects Team, you will drive the execution of capital projects from inception through commissioning at the Moses Lake manufacturing facility. This is a hands-on, field-based role that bridges design engineering and field execution, ensuring technical integrity of all site construction scopes and seamless integration of new process units into existing facility operations.
Key responsibilities include: leading the full lifecycle of small capital projects (scope, budget, schedule, execution, commissioning); overseeing technical integration of new process units, utility tie-ins, and equipment packages; serving as the primary on-site technical authority for construction crews and contractors; reviewing engineering deliverables for constructability and site compatibility; partnering with safety and quality teams on field inspections and compliance; managing RFIs and vendor submittals; acting as liaison between Design Engineering, Operations, Maintenance, and General Contractors; leading commissioning walkdowns and technical handover; and facilitating the Management of Change process.
You will need a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, or Civil Engineering and 3-6+ years of experience in industrial manufacturing, chemical processing, refining, or heavy industrial construction. Strong working knowledge of industrial construction (piping, structural steel, mechanical equipment, utility systems) is essential. Experience with project scheduling tools (MS Project, Primavera) and budget management is required. Preferred qualifications include experience with electrical systems integration, familiarity with industry codes (ASME, AISC, IBC, OSHA), contractor management, and strong problem-solving under tight timelines.
