Sr Interface Engineer - Internal

EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION & EXPERIENCE

Bachelors degree in Engineering or an equivalent qualification

Minimum 10 - 12 years relevant work experience, with at least 3-5 years in in major projects experience in fertilizer or petrochemical plants

Managing Activities:

1. Internal Interface Identification & Management

• Lead internal interface activities under the guidance of the Interface Manager, coordinating across engineering disciplines, EPCC Contractor teams, and internal stakeholders.
• Identify and define all internal interfaces and tie-ins during the concept and design phases, ensuring clarity in the EPCC Contract and alignment with project execution plans.
• Raise principle decisions based on the Concept Study Report to initiate internal coordination and project alignment.
• Launch internal projects based on approved concept studies and ensure scope, schedule, and budget alignment.

2. Coordination & Follow-Up

• Conduct monthly coordination and follow-up meetings with the Projects Department to track progress of internal projects and tie-ins.
• Follow up on principle decisions and internal projects to ensure timely delivery of internal interfaces.
• Monitor execution of internal projects to ensure they are progressing as per approved timelines and within allocated budgets.
• Flag delays or risks to the Project Director and work with stakeholders to design and implement mitigation actions.

3. Coordination

• Ensure scope related to internal interfaces is clearly understood, properly planned, and implemented during engineering and construction phases.
• Monitor adherence to mechanical completion requirements, interface milestones, and overall project schedule.
• Review internal tie-in plans and coordinate with internal stakeholders (operations, commissioning, maintenance) to ensure alignment and readiness.

4. Engineering Collaboration

• Work closely with discipline engineers (process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, civil, etc.) to validate and document all internal interface points.
• Ensure technical integrity and traceability of internal interfaces throughout design, construction, and commissioning phases.

5. Schedule & Risk Monitoring

• Monitor all critical path activities related to internal interfaces and ensure alignment with commissioning-driven schedules.
• Identify, report, and track risks associated with internal interface activities, and propose mitigation strategies in coordination with the Interface Manager and Project Controls.
• Escalate delays and deviations to the Project Director and ensure recovery plans are agreed and implemented.

6. Quality, Standards & Compliance

• Ensure all internal interface activities meet Project quality standards, technical specifications, and good engineering practices.
• Verify that all process technologies, tie-ins, and operational aspects are implemented correctly and safely, ensuring readiness for commissioning and operation.
• Ensure compliance with internal governance documents such as:
• Project Services Agreement
• Governance Document
• Project Authorisation Matrix
• Project Procedures
• Project Information Manual

7. Reporting & Documentation

• Support the Interface Manager in preparing internal interface reports and conducting coordination meetings with internal stakeholders.
• Track and coordinate delivery of internal spare parts, capital spares, and special tools with EPCC Contractor to ensure readiness for commissioning and handover.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation of internal interface activities, approvals, tie-in completions, and stakeholder communications.

8. Interface Register Management

• Develop and maintain a Project Internal Interface Register, mapping all internal tie-ins, stakeholders, documentation requirements, and target completion dates.
• Ensure the register is regularly updated and used as a control tool to monitor progress and compliance.
• Use the register to flag delays, track dependencies, and support decision-making across engineering, construction, and commissioning phases.
