Job Purpose

We are seeking a Project Delivery Engineer to lead the delivery of high-impact capital (CapEx) projects within our chemical processing department, which is a dynamic manufacturing environment. This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives on end-to-end ownership of complex process and equipment investments, driving improvements in safety, capacity, reliability, and operational performance.

You will play a critical role in shaping and executing multi-disciplinary capital projects—from early concept and business case development through detailed design, construction, and startup—while influencing key stakeholders and delivering measurable business value.

Job Responsibilities

Lead and deliver capital projects (CapEx) within the process area, managing the full lifecycle from concept, justification, and design through execution, commissioning, and handover.
Own project scope, budget, schedule, and risk management, ensuring delivery against business and operational targets.
Partner with operations to identify opportunities for capacity expansion, cost optimization, and process improvements, translating needs into scalable engineering solutions.
Develop and manage technical deliverables (P&IDs, layouts, specifications, calculations, and engineering documentation) to support project execution.
Drive vendor selection, contractor management, and equipment procurement, ensuring quality, cost-effectiveness, and timeline adherence.
Lead installation, commissioning, and startup activities, ensuring seamless integration into live operations.
Ensure compliance with engineering standards, safety requirements, and corporate governance processes, including capital approval frameworks.
Champion Process Safety Management (PSM), leading activities such as Management of Change (MOC), HAZOP/PHA participation, and risk mitigation.
Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, maintenance, automation, quality, and SHE teams to ensure sustainable project outcomes.
Track project performance and proactively resolve issues to ensure successful delivery.
