Technical Direction: You define and maintain the technical direction for the Electrical, Instrumentation, and Controls (EIC) Department. You lead the development of fit-for-purpose EIC specifications, design philosophies, and basis of design for execution Globally. You ensure owner requirements are clearly defined, documented, and communicated to contractors, and validate design assumptions against operability, safety, and ensure compliance with local and regional codes and regulations. Contractor management : You review and approve contractor submissions including power distribution, control system architecture, and instrumentation design, enforce owner requirements, provide technical clarifications, and ensure adherence to schedule, quality, safety, and operability. You set clear expectations for execution methods, field quality controls, and turnover documentation needed for safe operation and maintenance. System Reliability & Innovation: You lead initiatives to improve reliability and performance of EIC systems, troubleshoot issues, and implement preventive measures. You evaluate and introduce emerging technologies such as smart instrumentation, advanced control systems, and energy efficiency solutions. Cross-Functional Collaboration: You act as the primary EIC interface with process, mechanical, and project management teams to ensure integrated designs. You identify and mitigate EIC risks during design and operation phases and support project teams with scope, cost, and schedule estimates. Team Leadership & Continuous Improvement: You supervise and coach junior team members, provide guidance on technical challenges, and drive lessons-learned sessions to maintain a strong knowledge base and promote continuous improvement. You maintain thorough records of technical decisions, design bases, vendor information, and lessons learned for future operational use. Cold-weather and constructability: As our next DAC plant is planned for Alberta, Canada, you incorporate Alberta (or similar) climate conditions into EIC design and execution planning (freeze protection, winterization, insulation/heat tracing philosophy, cold start/commissioning constraints). You ensure the design is constructable and able to operate and be maintained through winter conditions, including consideration of temporary works, winter work sequencing, and interface constraints with cold-weather activities.
