Status: Full-time Mon-Fri, Contract INSIDE IR35 - HYBRID Duration: 31dec26 (renewable) Reports to: Area Integration Senior Engineer Morson Edge are working with a major player in the Energy Sector who have current CONTRACT requirements for an Integration Engineer to join their established Project Delivery teams in Somerset - site based and/or Somerset Energy & Innovation Centre. Hybrid working arrangements, competitive all-inclusive daily rates, inside IR35. Overview The position will be part of the Project Delivery Integration Team, part of the Project Management Office The purpose of the Delivery Integration Team is to ensure that the schedule of planned work 16 weeks prior to implementation is credible and deliverable. This entails resolving sequences in the schedule which cannot be delivered as originally planned and providing visibility of the availability of resources to deliver it whether labour, materials, equipment or logistics. The postholder will support in the review and development of construction sequences for structures, systems and components within their designated area from manufacturing completion through to site construction, erection and commissioning ensuring that the sequence supports key schedule milestones. Typical Activities: Reviewing the construction schedule to ensure that identified sequence(s) can be implemented in conjunction with related structures, systems and other constraints. Review availability of materials and equipment to assess project readiness to commence works. Support resolution of "hotspots" to maintain the overall schedule milestones where necessary supporting "Best for Project" decision making. Providing oversight of the Project's application of "Delivery Work Pack" & "Interface Data Sheet" procedures. - To support the above activities, the Integration Engineer will need to interact with many of the other functions on site, key ones being Engineering, Project Management, Planning, Procurement, Delivery, Commissioning and Site Operations. The Integration role is also likely to involve working on transverse issues across different Areas. - The analysis horizon of the Area Integration team needs to look beyond current on-going activities on Site, typically they should be working to deliver a credible schedule well in advance of T-16 weeks before planned implementation. Applications The Integration Engineer will need to use 3D and/or 4D tools, such as Navisworks and/or Synchro. They need to be able to interrogate a P6 schedule and manipulate data extracted from it using Excel and present it using the other Microsoft Office and online tools. They will also need to manage data via databases or PowerBI. Criteria for Success: The Integration Engineer will have a broad understanding of Engineering, Procurement and Construction activities and the integration of these activities. They will also have a good understanding of project planning processes and the ability to identify and support the resolution of complex issues and interfaces. Delivery integration has a wide-ranging perspective of the project, consequently Area Integration Engineers need to be able to work collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders using good analytical, communication and influencing skills to gather data and agree resolutions. Experience & Skills Degree in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Process OR Chemical Engineering OR equivalent in Construction Management, or related subject, or a demonstrable level of experience based on years of experience and project assignments. Experience in delivering complex projects within highly regulated environments Knowledge and experience of planning tools (P6), 3D model interrogation (Navisworks) and use of Microsoft Office software suite packages particularly Excel and Power point (highly advantageous) Construction health and Safety qualification e.g. IOSHH Managing Safely (Desirable)
