Role Purpose
BPA manages a portfolio of downstream energy assets, including pipelines, storage facilities and distribution terminals, supported by maintenance and capital projects that protect integrity, safety and operational capability. The Senior Project Engineer (C&I) will provide dedicated Control & Instrumentation discipline capability within the FEED team while leading and managing FEED-stage engineering projects for BPA operations and external clients.
The role is accountable for clear scope definition, robust technical inputs and high-quality, execution-ready FEED deliverables. It coordinates multidisciplinary contributors, budgets, schedules, risks and stakeholders to deliver safe, efficient outcomes to programme, quality and commercial targets.
FEED Project Delivery
- Manage FEED projects ranging from small single-discipline studies to large, multi-discipline EPC-style FEED projects, typically in downstream oil and gas brownfield environments.
- Take accountability for end-to-end delivery, from initial approval through to execution-ready FEED handover.
- Lead scope definition, assumptions, interfaces and change control, with clear progress reporting and visible management of cost, schedule, quality and risk.
- Own technical delivery within the C&I discipline across multiple FEED scopes, ensuring C&I inputs are coordinated, reviewed and suitable for project handover.
- Close out FEED and study reports to agreed client expectations and support the team in regaining control of outstanding deliverables.
