Senior Instrumentation & Control Engineer Reclassification

Description

Examples of Duties

• Plans, schedules, conducts, or coordinates detailed phases of engineering work as a Metro Project Manager. Performs work that involves conventional engineering practice but may include a variety of complex features. Manages the development of and/or prepares studies, facility reports and/or designs for major wastewater transmission, treatment, solids processing and support facilities by staff or consultants. Reviews and critiques engineering studies and designs prepared by staff and/or engineering consultants. Develops scopes of work for engineering consultant services contracts and evaluates proposals and bids. This includes managing such steps as study, design, bidding, construction, and/or post construction phase work done by consultants under engineering services agreements. Monitors and evaluates consultant performance. Develops scopes of work for preconstruction and construction services contracts and evaluates proposals and bids. This includes managing such steps as design, bidding, construction, and/or post construction phase work done by contractors. Monitors and evaluates contractor performance. Directs the establishment of facility drawings for specific areas. Incorporates project drawings into facilities drawings. Administers/manages construction and post-construction phase work on major wastewater transmission, treatment, solids processing and support facilities projects by general or specialty contractors. Tracks progress of projects and negotiates changes as appropriate. Manages invoices, budgets, schedules, and field coordination. Performs, manages, and analyzes results of pilot-scale and full-scale demonstrations of process improvements conducted by equipment manufacturers, engineering consultants, or the Operations, Maintenance, or Technology and Innovation Departments. May participate in special projects, tasks, or work groups. Establishes and monitors budgets including labor hours and schedules for projects. Monitors the industry and forecasts gaps in subject matter expertise and capabilities necessary to ensure Metro evolves with the industry. May assist with the organization and management of Metro’s efforts for collaboration with Academia and Industry groups including participation on committees, research and manual of practice projects, and workshops and session presentations. Manages the various industrial networks and process instrumentation used on Metro’s SCADA systems. Coordinates with other Metro departments and monitors performance towards expected outcomes. Performs other engineering, technical, or administrative duties as needed.
