Scope Development & Engineering:
Translate operational needs into actionable engineering scopes for terminal assets, including storage tanks, piping systems, pump stations, rail/truck loading racks, and marine jetties. •
Contractor Management & Field Oversight:
Solicit bids, manage contracts, and directly supervise field contractors during execution to ensure strict safety, quality, and progress standards. •
Financial & Schedule Control:
Build project cost estimates, manage capital expenditure budgets, track commitments, and ensure projects cross the finish line on time and within budget. Qualifications & Requirements •
Education:
Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related STEM field (Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, or Construction Management preferred). •
Experience:
3+ years of hands-on, field-based project delivery within bulk liquid terminals, midstream logistics, or petrochemical facilities. •
Versatility:
Comfortable balancing multiple fast-paced site revamps simultaneously, with the capacity and discipline to scale up and lead a major $10M capital build. •
Technical Knowledge:
Working knowledge of bulk chemical handling, piping (ASME B31.3), storage tanks (API 650/653), pumping systems, and loading logistics.
