Project delivery perspective: Understanding of how technical decisions support successful delivery across planning, design, construction, commissioning, and startup. Client and team communication: Ability to collaborate clearly with clients, multidisciplinary teams, and internal stakeholders. Analytical approach: Ability to evaluate options, interpret testing results, and recommend solutions that balance performance, cost, schedule, constructability, and sustainability.

Qualifications

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical, Environmental, Mechanical, Civil, or a related engineering field. Experience: 10 years of engineering experience in investigation, planning, design, construction, and commissioning, including relevant consulting experience. Project management: Experience supporting or leading scope, schedule, and budget oversight for engineering projects.

Travel: Ability to travel to client and project sites as needed for client visits, meetings, project coordination, and collaboration with other KJ offices. Additional preferred qualifications: Familiarity with computer-aided drafting and design tools such as AutoCAD, BlueBeam, Revit, or similar platforms.
