• This includes development and enforcement of engineering, equipment, and construction specifications.
• The Owner's Engineer will perform moderately complex assignments requiring application of standard techniques, theory, procedures, and criteria in carrying out a sequence of related engineering tasks.
• The candidate must independently evaluate, select, and apply engineering theory, techniques, procedures, and criteria, using judgment in making adaptations and modifications.
• The Owner's Engineer will be required to work efficiently and effectively on project teams supporting several project managers.
• The Owner's Engineer will be required to travel to the compressor stations on average 3 days per week and as much as 5 days per week.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide engineering support for project development activities including feasibility studies, conceptual engineering design, and cost estimating.
• Oversee the development of detailed design documents by external Engineers of Record.
• Review engineering drawings and calculations that detail plans and specifications for construction projects.
• Develop technical specifications and bid documents for detailed engineering, engineered equipment, materials, and construction contracts
• Lead the technical bid evaluation for detailed engineering, equipment, materials, and construction contracts.
• Communicate effectively stakeholders to ensure all technical aspects of the project objectives are met.
• Perform shop inspection visits to supplier facilities to ensure quality and adherence to specifications.
• Perform field engineering and support the resolution of construction issues.
• Support testing and commissioning of new equipment and facilities.
• Identify, analyze, and recommend corrective actions to technical issues identified in the field during project execution and/or initial operation.
• Assist project management and project controls with the development of project schedules and budgets.
• Attend project coordination meetings.
• Participate in the closeout of projects including turnover of project files and record documents.
• Experience in the design, construction, or operation of natural gas compressor station equipment.
• Experience in reviewing designs to assure compliance with engineering design, applicable codes, constructability, and industry standards.
• Knowledge of CFR 49 Part 192 Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline (Minimum Federal Safety Standards), and/or Michigan Gas Safety Standards Guide (MGSS).
• Knowledge of ASME Codes & Standards e.g., ASME B31.8, ASME B31.3, ASME B31.1, ASME B16.5/16.47, ASME BPVC, etc.
• Knowledge of API Specifications & Standards e.g., API 5L, API 6D, API 1104, etc.
• Experience in procurement of engineered material, equipment and professional services.
• Experience coordinating and developing contract documents (RFP documentation), specifically engineering drawings and technical specifications for both consulting and construction.
