Senior Project Engineer — Kirkuk

Senior Project Engineer — Kirkuk (KPP) EPC Project Company: SEGI Project: Kirkuk Power Plant (KPP) — EPC Location: United States – split between the SEGI office and the engineering subconsultant's office Reports to: Project Manager (Kirkuk Project) Direct reports: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and I&C Engineers (as assigned); engineering subconsultant team (contractual) Position Summary The Senior Project Engineer is SEGI's technical lead across the engineering, procurement and construction interfaces on the Kirkuk EPC project. The role takes SEGI's design scope from mid-design to issued-for-construction (IFC) and as-built status, coordinates procurement and EXIM-compliant delivery, and supports construction and commissioning remotely from the US. A Project Engineer may be considered for strong EPC candidates. KPP converts an existing simple cycle plant in Kirkuk, Iraq, to combined cycle. The project is financed by the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM), and SEGI is the EPC contractor, delivering it with construction and commissioning subcontractors. Most major equipment has been manufactured; the focus now is completing engineering, closing out procurement and logistics, and supporting construction. Key Responsibilities Design Management Manage the engineering subconsultant's scope, man-hour budget, schedule and deliverable register; track progress against planned issue dates. Set and enforce the design basis, project specifications, codes and standards, and owner (MoE) requirements. Chair weekly engineering progress meetings and multi-discipline coordination meetings. Integrate OEM engineering (HRSG, steam turbine, generator and major packages) into the subconsultant's design, and close out vendor holds on drawings. Run formal design reviews at 30/60/90% and IFC, and track every comment to closure. Lead HAZOP, SIL, constructability and operability reviews, and close out actions. Discipline Scope (lead and coordinate) Mechanical and process: heat balances, P&IDs, HRSG and steam turbine integration, steam and feedwater, condensate, cooling, water treatment, fuel and auxiliary systems, equipment layouts. Piping: plot plan, 3D model reviews, high-energy piping, stress analysis, supports, and tie-ins to existing plant. Electrical: single-line diagrams, generator and step-up transformers, switchyard and grid connection, MV/LV distribution, protection and relay coordination, earthing and lightning protection, cable schedules. Instrumentation and control: DCS architecture, integration with existing gas turbine controls, control narratives, instrument index, loop, cause-and-effect and logic diagrams. Civil and structural: geotechnical input, foundations for HRSG, steam turbine and BOP equipment, steel structures, pipe racks, drainage and roads. Fire protection and HVAC: fire detection and suppression, buildings and enclosures. Brownfield Interfaces & Tie-ins Verify existing plant data and as-builts with the site team, and close information gaps that affect design. Define tie-in points, tie-in packages and outage windows with the existing simple cycle units. Maintain the interface register between new and existing plant, and between SEGI and subcontractor scopes. Engineering Studies, Approvals & Change Review and approve key calculations: performance guarantees, hydraulic, load flow, short circuit and protection studies, structural and foundation calculations. Confirm the design suits Kirkuk site conditions, including high ambient temperatures, dust and water quality. Manage submission of deliverables to MoE and its engineer, tracking approval codes and resubmissions; ensure revision control, transmittals and the master document register are accurate. Own technical queries, deviations and the engineering change register; assess the technical basis, cost and schedule impact of change orders and prepare technical input for submission. Deliver as-built drawings, final data books, O&M manual input and the final engineering dos…
