Roles in this level have responsibility for planning, prioritizing, executing, and monitoring of Pre-Projects in an efficient and systematic manner and according to QAFCO procedures and specifications and to the Company’s goals and objectives. As a part of project works, they have the responsibility in analyzing the problems, carrying out root cause analysis & engineering calculations to arrive at the optimum techno-economic solution, prepare tender, carry out technical evaluation, generate the deliverables of the required quality and support for execution of Project. They have a prime role in coordinating with multiple trades and customers to ensure smooth-running of projects. They compile and provide input to the periodic reports within their area of work. They assist their superiors in cost control. Roles in this level are mainly identical to those of Senior or Lead Engineers with the number of years of experience being a differentiating factor. The role holder must ensure that all activities are carried out in compliance with QAFCO’s Health, Safety and Environment procedures.

Key Accountabilities:

• Plan work activities, lead and support various project teams and liaison with all the stakeholders to ensure execution of assigned project activities to meet set objectives and overcome challenges.
• Carrying out engineering work for Pre-Projects including root cause analysis, complete the process data sheets with mechanical details to fully detail the equipment specification, perform engineering calculations using software, as per codes and standards. Producing engineering deliverables, carrying out required safety & environmental studies to facilitate smooth execution of the Projects.
• Ensure delivery of Pre-project work with the optimal technical solution and deliverables to the required quality within the set time schedule & cost following Project Execution Guidelines and in compliance with QAFCO Engineering Specifications & QAFCO Procedures.
• Develop and maintain/update Specifications/standards on engineering practice within the trades, including incorporation of lessons learnt.
