Role Overview
We are seeking a Civil Project Engineer to act as the Package Project Manager for key civil and architectural scope areas on a large-scale capital project. This is an oversight and coordination role, functioning as an owner's representative and primary point of accountability for assigned packages rather than a hands-on field engineering position.
This role requires strong scope control, change management, and coordination across multiple stakeholders, including EPCM partners, design engineering firms, and construction contractors.

• Review and validate change orders, including:
  • Assessing scope accuracy
  • Identifying missing or unclear elements
  • Evaluating intent vs. execution gaps
• Provide active coordination across multiple touchpoints, ensuring alignment between:
  • EPCM partners
  • Design engineering firms
  • Construction contractors
• Participate in progress meetings and coordination sessions; drive issues to closure
• Ensure alignment with cost, schedule, scope, and quality expectations
• Serve as an owner's representative, providing oversight rather than daily field execution
  • Site presence is welcome but not required as a primary function of the role

Experience & Qualifications
