About the role
Project Management
- Lead technical coordination between Alva, EPC, and site owner; define scopes, interfaces,
and deliverables and run design and progress reviews.
- Oversee technical performance of the EPC; review key engineering deliverables and
manage RFIs, design changes, and other technical issues.
- Work with supply chain to plan procurement of major equipment and materials; ensure
vendor compliance and support FATs and inspections as needed.
- Help translate engineering into construction-ready work packages and execution plans;
provide engineering support during construction, commissioning, and startup.
- Identify and manage technical and regulatory risks; ensure compliance with applicable
codes/standards and champion safety-by-design.
- Help define internal roles, support hiring and onboarding, and mentor engineers; improve
Alva’s standards, tools, and processes for project delivery.
Engineering Development
- Plan and manage engineering maturity from FEL-1 through FEL-3 (or 30-60-90%), defining
deliverables, quality criteria, and gate reviews.
- Coordinate multi-discipline design (mechanical, piping, electrical/I&C, civil/structural,
BOP) to deliver an integrated, constructible, code-compliant plant.
- Draft and review engineering standards, technical specifications, and contract scopes for
EPC and major equipment.
Project Development
- Support early-stage development, including technology configuration, process concept
selection, and trade studies on performance, cost, schedule, and risk.
- Work with commercial and finance teams to turn technical options into techno-economic
cases and support internal investment decisions.
Contribute to site evaluation, including footprint, access, constructability, interconnection,
and permitting; ensure findings are reflected in layout and basis of design.
- Lead preparation of RFPs for EPC and key vendors; lead or contribute to technical bid
evaluations and recommendations for award.
- Lead or contribute to technical bid evaluations and recommendations for award; support
negotiations on EPC and key supply agreements.
Qualifications
- 6–10+ years leading engineering and/or construction on large power or process-industry
projects (e.g., steam turbine or combined-cycle plants) with significant EPC or Owner’s
Engineer interaction.
- Experience in both project development and execution, including concept development,
site evaluation, and support for EPC / major equipment contracting.
- Strong technical understanding of steam turbine power plants or closely related thermal
facilities, including major equipment and balance-of-plant systems.
- Hands-on experience with stage-gated engineering (FEL-1/2/3 or 30-60-90%) and with
construction engineering, procurement, field execution, and QA/QC.
- Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g., ASME, IEEE, ACI); experience with
nuclear or decarbonization technologies is a plus.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Civil, or related engineering
discipline.
- Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills; willing to travel up to ~25% to
project sites and suppliers.
