Senior Project Engineer

Role Overview

• Receive, critically analyze and qualify requests from the Operations team by conducting clarification meetings, mapping functional/technical requirements, risks and operational constraints; propose scope alternatives and prioritization when applicable.
• Engage and coordinate engineering disciplines (mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, automation, naval, process) to develop the full workpack: technical specifications, P&IDs, drawings, isometrics, material lists, test/inspection plans (ITPs), installation, commissioning and HSE procedures; ensure formal reviews and approvals.
• Manage end‑to‑end interfaces with Operations, Suppliers, Supply Chain/Procurement, Planning and Execution, establishing a responsibility matrix (RACI), integrated schedule, milestones/deliverables and governance routines; maintain proactive communication of risks, changes and decisions.
• Prepare and consolidate detailed cost estimates (CAPEX/OPEX), including engineering, materials, LLI, fabrication, mobilization, execution resources (crews, man‑hours, POB), logistics, contingencies and commissioning; structure assumptions, calculation bases, scenarios and sensitivity analysis for feasibility studies.
• Act as the technical focal point in all project phases (concept → detail → procurement → fabrication → installation → commissioning), answering questions, guiding solutions and ensuring compliance with standards, class requirements and integrity/reliability guidelines.
• Track vendors of LLI (Long Lead Items) and critical equipment through release to fabrication.
• Maintain continuous technical interface with Asset Management and SPC: align integrity requirements, equipment criticality, maintenance strategies, spares and operational impacts; populate databases and systems (CMMS/ERP) with attributes and documents.
• Promote continuous improvement and standardization: capture best practices, propose engineering standards and templates, support process digitization, and maintain performance KPIs (schedule, cost, quality, HSE, rework) with regular reporting to stakeholders.

Requirements

• Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Production, Naval, Chemical, or related). Active CREA registration (Brazilian engineering council).
• Proven experience as Project Engineer/Coordinator in Oil & Gas (offshore/onshore), with cross‑functional work in engineering, operations and suppliers; track record of delivering projects on time and within budget.
• Experience preparing workpacks and coordinating multidisciplinary teams, cost estimating, execution planning, resource mobilization and LLI/vendor management.
• Knowledge of classification society requirements (ABS/DNV), applicable codes (ASME/API/IEC/ISO), HSE, Management of Change (MoC), asset integrity and reliability (RCM/FMEA).
• Strong interface and communication skills with multiple areas and organizational levels; ability to challenge scope, facilitate technical decisions and manage conflicts.
• Advanced English for interfacing with multicultural teams, vendors and technical documentation; proficiency in reading international drawings and specifications.
• Proficiency in project and management tools: MS Project/Primavera, advanced Excel, SharePoint, SAP/ERP, workflows and collaborative tools; familiarity with BIM/3D and engineering systems (AutoCAD/AVEVA/E3D).
