Senior Project Engineer

Stellar Energy Global Infrastructure Inc

Jacksonville, FL

Estimated pay: Est. $18–$27/hr (market estimate, not employer-stated)

**Senior Project Engineer**

===========================

**(KPP) EPC Project**

=====================

**Company:** SEGI

**Project:** Kirkuk Power Plant (KPP) — EPC

**Location:** United States – split between the SEGI office and the engineering subconsultant's office

**Reports to:** Project Manager (Kirkuk Project)

**Direct reports:** Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and I&C Engineers (as assigned); engineering subconsultant team (contractual)

**Position Summary**

--------------------

The Senior Project Engineer is SEGI's technical lead across the engineering, procurement and construction interfaces on the Kirkuk EPC project. The role takes SEGI's design scope from mid-design to issued-for-construction (IFC) and as-built status, coordinates procurement and EXIM-compliant delivery, and supports construction and commissioning remotely from the US. A Project Engineer may be considered for strong EPC candidates.

KPP converts an existing simple cycle plant in Kirkuk, Iraq, to combined cycle. The project is financed by the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM), and SEGI is the EPC contractor, delivering it with construction and commissioning subcontractors. Most major equipment has been manufactured; the focus now is completing engineering, closing out procurement and logistics, and supporting construction.

**Key Responsibilities**

------------------------

Design Management

• Manage the engineering subconsultant's scope, man-hour budget, schedule and deliverable register; track progress against planned issue dates.
• Set and enforce the design basis, project specifications, codes and standards, and owner (MoE) requirements.
• Chair weekly engineering progress meetings and multi-discipline coordination meetings.
• Integrate OEM engineering (HRSG, steam turbine, generator and major packages) into the subconsultant's design, and close out vendor holds on drawings.
• Run formal design reviews at 30/60/90% and IFC, and track every comment to closure.
• Lead HAZOP, SIL, constructability and operability reviews, and close out actions.

Discipline Scope (lead and coordinate)

• Mechanical and process: heat balances, P&IDs, HRSG and steam turbine integration, steam and feedwater, condensate, cooling, water treatment, fuel and auxiliary systems, equipment layouts.
• Piping: plot plan, 3D model reviews, high-energy piping, stress analysis, supports, and tie-ins to existing plant.
• Electrical: single-line diagrams, generator and step-up transformers, switchyard and grid connection, MV/LV distribution, protection and relay coordination, earthing and lightning protection, cable schedules.
• Instrumentation and control: DCS architecture, integration with existing gas turbine controls, control narratives, instrument index, loop, cause-and-effect and logic diagrams.
• Civil and structural: geotechnical input, foundations for HRSG, steam turbine and BOP equipment, steel structures, pipe racks, drainage and roads.
• Fire protection and HVAC: fire detection and suppression, buildings and enclosures.

Brownfield Interfaces & Tie-ins

• Verify existing plant data and as-builts with the site team, and close information gaps that affect design.
• Define tie-in points, tie-in packages and outage windows with the existing simple cycle units.
• Maintain the interface register between new and existing plant, and between SEGI and subcontractor scopes.

Engineering Studies, Approvals & Change

• Review and approve key calculations: performance guarantees, hydraulic, load flow, short circuit and protection studies, structural and foundation calculations.
• Confirm the design suits Kirkuk site conditions, including high ambient temperatures, dust and water quality.
• Manage submission of deliverables to MoE and its engineer, tracking approval codes and resubmissions; ensure revision control, transmittals and the master document register are accurate.
• Own technical queries, deviations and the engineering change register; assess the technical basis, cost and schedule impact of change orders and prepare technical input for submission.
• Deliver as-built drawings, final data books, O&M manual input and the final engineering dossier for handover.

Procurement Coordination

• Prepare and review technical specifications, requisitions and technical bid evaluations.
• Review vendor drawings and data, and approve against specification.
• Track manufacturing, inspection and test plans, FATs and release for shipment with the expediting team.
• Coordinate packing, shipping and logistics so deliveries meet EXIM financing requirements, including US-content and shipping rules.
• Manage remaining long-lead and balance-of-plant packages, spares and site-delivery sequencing.

Construction Support

• Act as the engineering point of contact for the site team: answer RFIs, resolve field changes and non-conformances.
• Support construction sequencing, installation methods and lifting plans with constructability inpu
