The Asset Management function within Altrad Babcock is a highly specialised engineering services and equipment provider supporting customers to minimise cost, maximise return and mitigate risk through their asset integrity lifecycle. We are recruiting exceptional candidates to join our mission in becoming a fully certified Asset Management engineering services provider of both consultancy and integrated projects, across future global low carbon energy and infrastructure markets.
The Static Engineering team within the Asset Management business sector provides consultancy services primarily in the power generation industry including thermal, nuclear and renewables, together with process, oil & gas, petrochemical and the newly emerging fusion energy research sectors, primarily in the field of integrity engineering. Within this function we have an opportunity for a Senior Project Engineer to join us in Renfrew.
Profile
Roles at this level typically lead and execute engineering tasks related to the provision of quality & timely proposals and contract engineering analysis, for project delivery to meet the needs of internal/external Altrad Babcock customers. Work is executed via the management of allotted tasks to quality, time and cost related to a specific project or portfolio of projects. Competence is developed through performing analysis and engineering tasks inclusive of project co-ordination, potentially across multiple engineering disciplines. The role-holder will advise clients predominantly on integrity related scenarios, typically using a broad range of industry codes and guidelines to solve routine or complex problems. Work can be executed in a specific or narrow field or across a broader range of disciplines, working either somewhat in isolation or as part of a project team, though all work is subject to review and approval according to company procedures. The role holder requires relevant industry experience and a working knowledge of standard principles, theories and practices in relevant engineering discipline(s) and should, have demonstrable experience of project management. They represent a greater theoretical and practical understanding, knowledge and ability to develop solutions to unique engineering problems than those roles at the level below.

Governance: Comply with national laws/regulations and adhere to company-wide & functional BOPs and WIs to act in line with standardised working practices and ensure best practice.
Innovation: Look for opportunities for efficiency savings and development as well as contributing to project reviews/lessons learned to promote a culture of continuous improvement.
Communication: Build and maintain an internal and external (client) relationship network in order to leverage expertise, contribute to decision making and satisfy stakeholder requirements.
Teamwork: Support team members with project tasks, share knowledge and experience and work collaboratively with colleagues across the business, with strategic partners and, ultimately with our clients.

Project Management, demonstrating cost control and understanding of all commercial aspects of project control.
The Senior Project Engineer will be a qualified Mechanical Engineer with a working knowledge of some of the tools used to assess problems in the fields of structural integrity (some experience with pressure equipment design is advantageous) and the motivation to deepen their knowledge. They will be experienced in office and site work, ideally come from a similar technical role within a relevant industry sector. It is likely they will be Chartered and have a ten or more years of relevant industry experience, but consideration will be given to exceptional candidates who are demonstrably capable, but do not meet both these criteria.
Candidates with knowledge of relevant industry standards such as API-579, BS7910, ASME B31.X, PD5500 and experience using ANSYS Mechanical will have a distinct advantage.
