Plans, coordinates or prepares equipment or work specifications, material requisition, bid evaluations and award recommendations for heat transfer equipment.

Coordinates Engineering efforts in assigned areas between specialty and other engineering groups or disciplines, with the client, suppliers, and contractors and between other groups.

Assumes a lead technical role over other engineers or project subgroups for completing specific tasks.

Communicates complex technical issues and recommends solutions to project management.

Facilitates technical discussions with third parties (client, suppliers, regulators).

Reviews/analyses bids and makes technical recommendations.

Conducts reviews of vendor drawings, calculations and other documentation.

Works on conceptual studies, designs, reports or proposals.

Prepares cost estimates, quantity take-offs and staffing requirements for proposals, forecasts and change orders.

Reviews and checks work of subordinate engineers.

Supports the creation of a work environment that fosters openness, trust, communication, teamwork, empowerment, innovation, and satisfaction.
