Job Summary
Conduct planning, coordination, and technical oversight for oil and gas projects from concept development through IFC, translating client RFPs and contracts into clear engineering scopes. Coordinate multi-discipline activities including process, mechanical, piping, civil, I&C, and electrical to ensure technical alignment and constructability. Support design reviews, approve calculations and drawings for compliance, and manage change orders while maintaining cost and schedule control. Ensure application of HSE and process safety requirements across all design and execution phases. This hybrid role requires three days in the office in Englewood, CO, with no work authorization sponsorship.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Petroleum, Civil, Electrical, or related Engineering from an ABET accredited institution
- 5+ years of relevant engineering experience in the oil and gas industry (upstream, midstream, LNG, facilities)
- Demonstrated experience supporting FEED and/or detailed design for onshore or offshore oil and gas facilities (e.g., well pads, pipelines, gas processing, compression, terminals, LNG)
- Proven track record coordinating multi-discipline engineering on projects with multiple stakeholders
- Experience working within a consulting engineering environment
- 1-2 years of field experience (commissioning, construction support, as-builts, etc)
- Strong understanding of oil and gas facilities and systems, such as: Wellhead and gathering systems, pipelines, and flowlines Including gathering for gas, oil, water and condensate
- Gas processing (dehydration, sweetening, compression, NGL recovery) and oil stabilization
- Utility and offsite systems (fuel gas, flare, instrument air, power distribution, water systems)
- Ability to read, interpret, and develop PFDs, P&IDs, SLDs, 3D models, layouts, isometrics, and equipment drawings
- Advanced knowledge base in process, mechanical, and controls engineering, and how each discipline impacts each other
- Base level knowledge of electrical and structural engineering
- Working knowledge of applicable industry codes and standards (e.g., ASME, API, ANSI, NFPA, NEC, NACE, GPSA) and regulatory requirements as pertaining to the candidates engineering discipline
- Experience participating in or supporting HAZID, HAZOP and constructability reviews
- Proficiency with common engineering and project tools, such as: MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Project or equivalent)
- Bluebeam and Adobe
- Fundamental understanding of cost estimating, scheduling, and progress measurement from an engineering perspective
- Ability to develop and review technical specifications, data sheets, and requisitions for equipment and packaged systems
- Sizing control valves
- Sizing PSVs
- Sizing process and utility piping
- Selecting instrumentation
- Developing design basis memorandums
- Selecting major mechanical equipment
- Sizing pumps
- Defining control loops and systems, control narratives
- Piping design constraints
- Pipe spec development
- Generic rules for sizing scrubbers, knockouts, separators, and other basic process equipment
- As-builting
- Utilizing engineering judgement
- Strong project coordination and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
- Ability to work with minimum supervision
- Ability to work with minimum and incomplete information
- Effective communication skills (written and verbal) with capability to interface professionally with clients, contractors, and internal teams
