• Respond to technical queries from bidders during procurement stages by chairing clarification sessions, evaluating technical submissions, and producing comprehensive comparisons between bidders.
• Assist the EHS department in site safety supervision during construction phases while managing work packages and facilitating contractors in project delivery.
• Initiate changes in design or scope of work as required by submitting technical documentation to clients and reviewing contractor submissions including work method statements.
• Lead testing and commissioning activities for respective disciplines with support from quality controllers in documentation tasks.
• Provide ongoing technical advice to construction teams regarding scope updates or changes while liaising with commercial departments on cost-related issues such as verifying progress claims.
• Support quality control teams by supplying technical specifications, inspection test plans, forms, and checklists; ensure execution of quality control plans throughout the project lifecycle.
• Sign off testing and commissioning forms at project closure, verify completion of all scopes of work, assist in handover documentation compilation, and review operating/maintenance manuals submitted by contractors.

What you bring:

Your proven experience as a Process Engineer Design and Project will include a solid foundation in chemical or mechanical engineering disciplines supported by at least 3 years’ exposure within the construction sector. You bring hands-on familiarity with AutoCAD software plus advanced skills using Microsoft Office tools—enabling you to produce accurate designs and manage documentation efficiently. Your interpersonal strengths allow you to connect easily with colleagues from various backgrounds while your communication skills foster clear understanding among stakeholders. You are dependable when working independently yet thrive within collaborative environments where teamwork drives successful outcomes. Your willingness to travel ensures you can support site operations whenever needed. Familiarity with water treatment technologies or process engineering solutions for utilities/industrial projects further enhances your profile—especially if you possess additional knowledge about UHP gas systems or chemical distribution networks. Your ability to support quality assurance initiatives through preparation of inspection test plans or technical specifications demonstrates your commitment to delivering excellence.

• Degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, HVAC Engineering or Mechatronics Engineering or equivalent qualification is required for this position.
