Lead the technical coordination and project management for steam turbine plants, ensuring compliance, overseeing engineering deliverables, and supporting procurement and construction processes.
The summary above was generated by AI

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.
