We’re bridging two worlds, moving towards more sustainable energy sources, while helping to provide the energy, chemicals and resources needed now.

Responsibilities

• Lead and deliver high-quality Electrical Heat Trace (EHT) design services that meet Worley, client, and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, on time and within budget.
• Acting as the Electrical Heat Trace (EHT) subject matter expert for projects, providing technical leadership and guidance on complex heat tracing design scopes.
• Leading the development, coordination, and quality assurance of EHT design deliverables across the full project lifecycle (concept, FEED, detailed design, construction support).
• Preparing and reviewing EHT design deliverables, including heat tracing philosophies, system architectures, layouts, circuit schedules, and construction packages.
• Providing technical direction and design oversight to electrical designers and drafting teams assigned to EHT scopes, including task assignment, workload planning, and design reviews.
• Participating in project planning, progress reporting, and compliance with required checking and quality assurance procedures.
• Ensuring EHT scope is clearly defined and that changes are managed in accordance with project change management processes.
• Supporting procurement, construction, and commissioning activities related to heat tracing systems, including: preparation and review of EHT equipment and materials requisitions; technical bid evaluations for heat trace systems and control panels; review of vendor documentation and purchase orders; resolution of site and vendor technical queries.
• Coordinating closely with process, piping, mechanical, insulation, and instrumentation disciplines to ensure EHT designs are fully integrated with process and piping requirements.
• Providing technical input into constructability, maintainability, and operability reviews for heat tracing systems.
• Proactively identifying and resolving discrepancies between Worley and client EHT standards, specifications, and design philosophies.
• Supporting and mentoring junior designers and engineers on EHT design methodologies, standards, and best practices.
• Communicating effectively with project stakeholders, including clients, vendors, and construction partners.
• Identifying technical risks and issues related to EHT system performance, constructability, and operability, and developing practical solutions.

Technical & Industry Experience

• Extensive experience delivering Electrical Heat Trace (EHT) design on industrial projects (e.g., energy, mining, chemicals, LNG, pipelines, or infrastructure).
• Recognized subject matter expertise in the design of electric heat tracing systems, including self-regulating, constant wattage, and mineral insulated (MI) heat trace technologies.
• Strong working knowledge of EHT design tools, calculation methods, and vendor software (e.g., Thermon, nVent/Raychem, BriskHeat, or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of heat tracing system engineering, including circuit design, power distribution, control and monitoring architectures, and cold climate design considerations.
• Strong working knowledge of electrical design systems, workflows, and document management tools (e.g., SAP, KMS, or similar project systems).
• Solid understanding of project scope development, workshare execution, and delegation of design activities across internal and external teams.
• Familiarity with hazardous area electrical design and applicable codes and standards (e.g., CSA, IECEx, ATEX, NEC/CEC).
• Strong working knowledge of EHT and Electrical design deliverables, including: Heat tracing design criteria and philosophies; heat loss calculations and circuit sizing; heat trace routing layouts and isometrics; circuit schedules and panel schedules; power distribution and load lists for EHT systems; electrical single-line diagrams related to EHT power supplies; cable schedules, routing, tray, and conduit layouts for EHT power and control; control and monitoring system architectures (local panels, DCS interfaces, alarms); bills of material and material requisitions; construction and installation work packages.
