SUITABLE CANDIDATE

You enjoy analysing concrete problems, finding solutions and then setting them up.

Getting involved in significant industrial and engineering projects involving very demanding precautions as regards industrial safety captivates you.

Your good analytical skills, sense of logic, aptitude for synthesizing and your scientific knowledge will allow you to adapt quickly to multi-system environments.

You have the ability to adapt to new technical problems. You know how to manage a small-sized team.

You like the idea of working on Projects and Quality matters to you.

You are a good team player.

THE ROLE

As Contract Engineering Lead (CEL) for Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG), you will provide contractual and technical oversight of the Project’s EDG contract, including the management and coordination of Technical Engineering Leads and managing the resolution of open points related to Design, Manufacturing and Qualification, all in accordance with the replication principles of the project. You will also be responsible for keeping the contract configuration compliant with the project progress.

Your activities include the following – but are not limited to:

• Lead contract technical and project meetings.
• Technical surveillance and resolution of issues/queries.
• For the current project, ensuring previous project’s design replication principles are followed, and OPEX is taken into account.
• Review and approval of contractor deliverables and design where necessary.
• Control and Management of the evolution of the contract and design changes.
• Review and approval of contract amendments and exemptions (CTSs, ERs).
• Manage the contract Technical leads (TLs) and associated delivery scope, including task prioritisation.
• Resource planning to ensure the requirements of the contract are met in terms of time, cost, schedule and quality.
• Management of stakeholders, such as:

- Liaise with Responsible Designer (RD), client and contractor teams to ensure integration of equipment with interfacing functions/systems.

• Reporting of KPIs to the ITB Equipment Manager and Sequence 5.
• Ensure qualification activities are progressing accordingly to the contract progress and site needs.

As CEL, you will also be expected to contribute in various ways to the wider community, and help with upskilling/mentoring other members of the team, including other less experienced CELs. In order to do this, you will work closely with the relevant disciplines at your office and with the French teams but also within the client and the suppliers to ensure the technical requirements are met.

During the first months, you can count on the KURY Team to assist you all along your projects.

This experience will give you the opportunity to move on to other projects in the medium term: you will tackle varied but complementary projects, studies and technical topics. Your understanding of the technical and environmental challenges will allow you to take on complex and critical transversal studies.
