Quality Engineer

A top oil & gas company is seeking a Quality Engineer to support a major power plant buildout within its New Energies organization. The Quality Engineer will serve as a key member of the Project Quality Team for a large-scale power generation project supporting a data center in West Texas. The role focuses on engineering quality management, project quality planning, design assurance, contractor capability evaluation, and readiness verification across all phases of engineering and construction. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in power plant engineering (combined cycle, simple cycle, gas turbines, electrical distribution, and balance-of-plant systems), along with proven competence in developing and implementing Quality Plans, reviewing engineering deliverables, evaluating EPC contractors, and executing engineering quality audits.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Engineering & Design Quality Management
· Lead development, implementation, and maintenance of project-specific Quality Management Plans (QMP/QPMP) consistent with industry codes, project requirements, and OEM specifications.
· Review and verify engineering deliverables including design criteria, drawings, specifications, models, P&IDs, one-lines, equipment datasheets, and vendor documentation for correctness, completeness, and compliance.
· Participate in and facilitate Design Assurance activities, including design reviews, design readiness assessments, risk evaluations, and critical engineering milestone verification.
· Ensure engineering work follows applicable industry standards, regulatory codes, and OEM requirements.
2. Technical Readiness & Contractor Capability Assessment
· Perform structured technical readiness assessments for engineering contractors, OEM suppliers, and EPC firms—evaluating engineering competency, quality culture, processes, and historical performance.
· Support evaluation of vendor engineering packages, Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) requirements, quality surveillance strategies, and engineering ITPs.
· Identify gaps in engineering QA/QC execution and recommend corrective or preventive actions.
3. Quality Planning & Risk Management
· Develop and maintain project quality plans, engineering quality checklists, inspection and test strategies, and risk‑based surveillance plans.
· Lead identification of quality risks, mitigation strategies, and lessons learned integration throughout engineering and construction phases.
· Coordinate with Supply Chain and Engineering to ensure vendor documentation, QA requirements, and technical deliverables meet contract obligations.
4. Audits, Surveillance & Compliance
· Plan and conduct engineering quality audits, supplier audits, design verification audits, and process compliance checks.
· Oversee design‑phase surveillance activities to ensure engineering outputs meet requirements prior to release for procurement or construction.
· Track, manage, and close non‑conformances, deviations, concessions, and corrective actions related to engineering deliverables.
5. Cross‑Functional Collaboration
· Work closely with project management, engineering leads, construction quality teams, supply chain, and OEMs (e.g., GE Vernova, Solar Turbines).
· Support alignment between Owner, EPC, and OEM quality expectations and ensure consistent communication of requirements.
Participate in technical meetings, readiness reviews, and milestone gate assessments.
