We are seeking a Project Engineer
Join a transformative, large-scale engineering initiative in the biotech industry, focused on advancing cutting-edge production facilities. This high-impact project spans from design through to full operational handover, requiring engineering expertise to bring complex, essential systems to life within a controlled, high-quality environment.
As a Project Engineer, you'll have responsibility for specific process and utility areas, playing a crucial role in achieving project milestones. In this role, you'll manage technical oversight, ensure cross-team and partner alignment, and steer your areas from design to qualification and handover.
Core Responsibilities:
- Take full accountability for clearly defined process/utilities areas or engineering packages within the project, as defined in P&IDs and the Project Procurement Plan.
- Act as the main contact for your designated scope, coordinating between internal stakeholders (Operations, EHS, Plant Engineering) and external partners (contractors, vendors) to maintain project objectives.
- Review and approve essential engineering documents, including P&IDs, data sheets, specifications, and technical drawings. Participate actively in 3D model reviews to ensure project accuracy.
- Ensure adherence to rigorous standards and specifications throughout all project phases, particularly focusing on Mechanical, Quality, and EHS requirements.
- Own the schedule and budget for your scope of work, overseeing technical approvals for Purchase Requests (PRs), Purchase Orders (POs), and Change Requests (CRs).
- Ensure units and systems under your scope meet necessary regulatory certifications, such as the Pressure Equipment Directive and Machinery Directive.
- Conduct risk analysis (HAZOP) for your scope and implement necessary mechanical discipline mitigation actions. Oversee construction-related documentation and ensure safety compliance.
- Lead Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs), mechanical completion walkdowns, and Site Acceptance Tests (SATs) for assigned units. Support commissioning and qualification, resolving any technical issues.
What You Bring:
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- Proven experience in managing complex engineering projects, ideally within manufacturing or biotech.
- Strong understanding of process engineering, risk analysis, and compliance.
- Excellent communication skills to collaborate with internal and external teams.
- Proficiency in English; German is a plus.
