Job Description – Engineering Manager

Role Overview

The Engineering Manager role is responsible for all engineering and design activities on the engagement the person is assigned to.

This role reports to the Project Manager and provides directions to Area Engineers, Discipline Leads and Discipline Engineers on engineering related matters.

The Engineering Manager will typically be responsible for engineering scope definition for the engagement, engineering planning and the sequencing of engineering activities, engineering resource planning, onboarding and demobilization of resources, providing technical leadership with focus on integration of disciplines and resolution of engineering quality issues and Safety in Design.

The Engineering Manager shall ensure that all engineering deliverables are delivered in accordance with the engineering processes and procedures using standard engineering design tools to achieve the project objectives within the specified timeframe and budget.

In addition to these engagement-related responsibilities, the Engineering Manager shall also fulfil other leadership roles like providing mentorship and supporting business initiatives such as Visible Felt Leadership (VFL).

All leadership roles are expected to contribute to the growth of the business through winning work, participating in proposal, managing client relationships for the sustainability of the business.

As Hatch leader, the Engineering manager must have the ability to make difficult decisions and should work to deliver good results under pressure, be an efficient and effective communicator, and must have a high Emotional Quotient.

Release of engineering EWPs and Timesheet Charge Codes
Facilitation of establishment and/or updating of design criteria and standards by all disciplines
Communicate the baseline information to relevant stakeholders including, as a minimum:

Function Discipline Leads regarding resource requirements and schedule
Engagement Discipline Leads and Engineering team regarding Engagement workplan / Engineering execution plan, Engagement procedures manual and emphasis that all deliverables are to be formally checked and recorded.

Execution:

Ensure that the following are done through the lifecycle of the engagement:

Contribute to the development of the Project Execution Plan (PEP) together with the project leadership team (including procurement, project controls, construction, and commissioning) and allocate roles and responsibilities for engineering activities.
Provide engineering input into the Engagement monthly report
Coordinate with Procurement, Construction, Environmental, Safety and Commissioning personnel early in the design effort to obtain their input and conduct any necessary reviews.
Regularly review and appraise the structure of the engineering engagement team
Establish contact with the Client Management team at key points throughout engagement to ensure that engineering deliverables meet their requirements in coordination with the Project Manager.
Ensure that engineering systems and 3D intelligent design environment are effectively and properly used and the engagement in compliance with Hatch minimum digital standards
Ensure that all engineering administrative function are performed efficiently including directing Area Engineers, Discipline Engineers, Project Engineer, Layout and BIM Coordinators and other engaged groups with inter-related engineering responsibilities.
Involve specialist technical expertise from within Hatch or externally as necessary.
Raise safety awareness and ensure the design for safety principles are applied.
Arrange and facilitate design reviews and participate as required in engineering, management and construction reviews.
Ensure technical design calculations are stored in the engagement’s Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) consistently across all engineering disciplines.
Coordinate quality audit verifications to ensure compliance with all relevant engineering standards, minimum digital standards, internal procedures for all design activities and that corrective actions are being instigated as required.
Lead and promote the change management process.
Facilitate the engagement technical review process (governance, technical reviews and audits, gate review).
Contribute to/participate in Value Improvement Practices activities as required.
Facilitate the implementation of Progressive Learning system on the Engagement across disciplines including implementation of lessons captured from previous engagements and capturing lessons on current engagement.
