• Identify and manage engineering interfaces, risks, constraints, and opportunities.
• Support the early identification, specification, and procurement of long-lead equipment and materials.
• Monitor contractor performance and ensure engineering deliverables are completed to the required quality and schedule.
• Support development of the project execution strategy for detailed engineering and implementation.
• Ensure decisions, actions, changes, and technical requirements are appropriately documented and communicated.
• Provide regular reporting on engineering progress, risks, issues, and upcoming milestones.

Compensation Range: $130,000–$165,000 CAD annually, depending on experience and qualifications.
