About the Role:

We are seeking a skilled and proactive Design Engineering Manager** to oversee the development and execution of design activities for a major project.

In this role, you will be responsible for managing the design process, coordinating project studies, ensuring quality assurance, and overseeing the delivery of key engineering outputs. You'll manage the schedule for the design phase in alignment with the broader project objectives, including procurement and construction.

This is a critical role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, and can manage both office-based and site-based responsibilities effectively.

Key Responsibilities:1. Design Management:

* Oversee the implementation of the Design Management Plan, ensuring all processes are followed and objectives are met.
* Actively participate in workshops focused on design, safety, risk management, constructability, and vendor collaboration.
* Lead the internal design review and approval processes, working closely with internal and external stakeholders.

2. Quality Assurance:

* Implement and maintain the Quality Management Plan throughout the design and construction phases of the project.
* Supervise quality inspections at contractor facilities and oversee Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), as well as site inspections during construction and commissioning.
* Act as the commissioning manager, ensuring all performance verification activities are conducted efficiently.

3. Documentation and Reporting:

* Facilitate weekly project meetings, tracking deliverables and managing action registers.
* Oversee the management of technical documents and drawings, ensuring they are kept up-to-date and in line with project specifications.

4. Site Support:

* During the project's execution phase, support site activities, ensuring alignment with project schedules, quality standards, and engineering requirements.
* Assist with commissioning resources and manage quality checks on construction and commissioning activities.

Skills and Experience:

* Proven experience in design engineering management, with a background in managing complex projects, particularly in the energy, infrastructure, or similar industries.
* Strong understanding of design and quality management processes, including drawing management and change management.
* Experience in coordinating and leading cross-functional teams, including engineers, contractors, and external stakeholders.
* Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage both office-based and site-based teams effectively.
* Ability to manage multiple priorities and ensure adherence to project timelines and budgets.
* Experience in conducting quality inspections, FAT, and commissioning activities is highly desirable.

Role Requirements:This role will require substantial site travel (regional VIC & NSW) - this may be up to 1-2 weeks per 4-6 weeks. Travel and accommodation costs provided.
