C&I Design Engineer

Purpose of Role

Provide specialist inputs and support to ensure professional and compliant designs are produced on time, within budget, and to specifications with multi-disciplinary green‑fields and brown‑fields project environment within the Power Generation / Oil & Gas Industry.

Produce quality and professional engineering outputs that satisfy all requirements (Client, Codes, and Standards) by adhering to internal engineering processes.

This is a 100% technical role, predominantly based in a Multi‑disciplinary Design Office, with no direct reports within the functional organogram. However, the role involves providing guidance to Junior Engineers/Technologists and Engineers in Training (EITs). It will be expected that the candidate can act as the Lead Engineer when assigned to specific projects managing 2 to 5 C&I design team members within the project organogram.

• Ensure C&I designs are delivered on time and within budget.

• Act as Technical Proposal/Tender Lead (as appointed by the C&I Head of Discipline).
• Develop User Requirements Specifications (URS) and Operational Requirements Specifications (ORS) with clients.
• Review and clarify URS, and brainstorm with Senior Engineers/Technologists and Head of Discipline throughout proposal and tender phases.
• Conduct concept development and feasibility checks.
• Compile technical specifications and enquiry packages.
• Review technical outputs from other C&I Engineers and adjudicate supplier offers.
• Develop Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) and estimate engineering effort for EPC and EPCM projects.
• Provide input to project schedules and document assumptions and URS deviations.
• Prepare technical write‑ups.
• Identify technical and commercial risks.

• Develop basic and detailed designs.
• • Participate in the development of Control System Architectures for Greenfields projects.

  • Review C&I Drawing Office Outputs (Cable Racking, Cable Routing, Hook‑up Drawings, C&I Equipment Layouts Cable)
  • Generate Instrument Lists and Specifications.
  • Participate in HAZOP, FMECA, LOPA and RAM Studies.
• Review technical outputs from other C&I Engineers.
• Identify and apply required codes and standards within designs.
• Identify engineering risks within EPC and EPCM projects.
• Address internal/external design review comments and obtain AFD and AFC Freeze.
• Oversee sub‑contractor (system integrators) designs to ensure compliance and timely delivery.

• Interface with other engineering disciplines (Process, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Structural) to ensure integrated design delivery.
• Participate in Integrated Design Reviews.

• Support installation team by resolving technical queries, performing site inspections, and implementing design changes.
• Support commissioning manager by acting as commissioning engineer, compiling procedures, and recording commissioning data.
• Support Project Team with handover and close‑out of engineering deliverables.
• Develop as‑built documentation and resolve punch lists.
• Support system/plant performance testing and contribute to lessons learned.

• Participate in client technical negotiations to reach approval/signature stage when needed.
