The Facilities Instrumentation & Electrical Engineer will report to the Base Engineering Supervisor. The Facilities I&E Engineer will support the development and consistent implementation of engineering and construction standards in the design/execution of Base process facility projects (e.g., Facility Debottlenecking, Artificial Lift Conversions, GHG Reduction Technology, Operation/Maintenance Upgrades). The Facilities I&E Engineer will collaborate with representatives of other departments and disciplines to help execute projects from initial concept through commissioning/start-up. The Facilities I&E Engineer will provide the needed support to all existing assets and function as an operations engineering representative on new development projects; this support will range from small to mid-size projects, corrective maintenance recommendations, and the development of preventative maintenance plans.
