Engineering Project Manager (Fuel Oil)

Location: Danbury CT

Reports To: Engineering Manager

Job Type: Full-time

Job Description - Project Manager\Design Engineer (Fuel Oil)

Overview of this position - This position has two parts which overlap but are required for success:

Project Manager: Responsibility is ultimately the profitability of the project. To accomplish this, the project manager uses our software tools to assign tasks, manage the project schedule, be the single point of contact for the customer, and the decision maker for issues that affect the project. People skills are required as communication with the factory, your task owners, your customer and all "stake holders" go through the project manager.

Design Engineer: As the position is a technical role, it is required that the PM\DE will need to step in as a task owner to keep the project progressing. This could include modifying bills of materials, electrical schematics, panel layouts, or O&M manuals. Technical submittals must be reviewed prior to sending to the customer. This role requires a review from a "system perspective". The PM\DE will be the closest to anticipating how the customer will accept the submittal. As submittal comments are returned, the PM\DE will review comments from a technical and project scope perspective.

Technical requirements

• Understanding of NFPA 30.
• Understanding of UL142.
• Understanding of control panel design and fabrication (UL508A).
• Understanding of Fuel Oil piping systems for boilers and generators.
• Understanding of control strategies in storage tank selection and filling.
• Ability to select control components (pumps, regulators, control valves, transmitters, etc.)
• Good Communication on different platforms.
• PLC and HMI programming experience (not required, but preferred).
• PID control loop programming and tuning (not required, but preferred).
• Ability to review customer specifications and propose cost-effective solutions.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to sit for extended periods of time and work on a computer.
• Ability to stand in a production environment.
• Ability to lift 25lbs.
• Ability to reach into file cabinets 5 feet above the ground.
