Senior Project Engineer - Infra

Role purpose

Engineering and team leadership

• Define and coordinate the engineering team, set delivery objectives, assign work through discipline leads, and provide technical guidance.
• Monitor performance and address gaps affecting safety, quality, cost, schedule, or productivity.
• Drive infrastructure solutions through studies, design development, detailed engineering, and delivery support.
• Address safety, sustainability, resilience, constructability, maintainability, operational continuity, stakeholder constraints, permitting, and whole-life asset performance.
• Mentor engineers and designers and promote consistent deliverables and beneficial data-centric and digital engineering methods.

Proposal and project coordination

• Support proposals for small to medium infrastructure opportunities with execution strategies, discipline scopes, schedules, resource plans, deliverables, risks, assumptions, and technical differentiators.
• Validate scope boundaries, change assumptions, delivery risks, and pricing inputs for competitive, executable, margin-protective bids.
• Coordinate project plans, contractual arrangements, schedules, milestones, deliverable registers, and progress inputs.
• Review schedules, bills of materials, forecasts, and controls for accuracy and alignment with delivery commitments.
• Maintain traceability between contract requirements, approved deliverables, and execution performance.

Stakeholders and execution controls

• Coordinate with project managers, engineering managers, discipline leads, authorities, customers, contractors, vendors, operations, and site teams.
• Resolve inter-discipline issues, manage review cycles, incorporate comments, and maintain clear technical interfaces and escalation paths.
• Plan and control engineering execution through work plans, deliverable registers, schedules, progress measurement, quality plans, change control, risk registers, resource forecasts, and reports.
• Monitor MOPC, CPI, and WPI indicators to identify trends, protect margin, support corrective action, and align scope, budget, schedule, and delivery commitments.

Essential qualifications and experience

• Engineering degree or equivalent technical experience; professional registration or eligibility is preferred.
• Typically 12+ years of engineering experience, including 10+ years in project engineering, supervision, project management, or technical coordination.
• Experience delivering E, EP, EPCM, or EPC scopes across critical infrastructure, utilities, transport, water, power, ports, industrial, sustaining capital, or brownfield projects.
• Ability to coordinate multidisciplinary, multi-location teams; review technical work; resolve interfaces; and support scope, change, risk, cost, and schedule control.

Desirable experience

• Local professional registration, recognized project management training, and EPCM/EPC exposure are desirable.
• Site, procurement, construction, or commissioning support is desirable.
• Familiarity with digital delivery, data-centric engineering, and asset management is desirable.
