Project Engineering Lead

Nexus Circular is the commercial leader in advanced recycling technology converting landfillbound plastics into highquality circular feedstocks for sustainable virgin plastic production. As Nexus rapidly scales globally we are executing complex capitalintensive projects that demand strong engineering leadership disciplined execution and technical excellence across all project phases.

Role Purpose

The Project Engineering Manager (PEM) is the singlepoint owner for all engineering and technical matters on large capital projects (typically >$100MM). This role acts as the clientside Project Engineering Manager providing leadership technical assurance and integration across all engineering disciplines EPC contractors licensors vendors and internal stakeholders.

Beyond delivering individual projects this role is expected to build standardize and institutionalize engineering systems processes procedures and tools that can be consistently applied across Nexus projectsso success is repeatable scalable and not dependent on any single individual.

What You Will Do

Engineering Leadership & Technical Authority

• Act as the client Project Engineering Manager for all project engineering and technical matters from frontend development through construction commissioning startup and handover to operations.
• Provide technical leadership and assurance across all disciplines including:
• Process Engineering
• Mechanical (static & rotating)
• Piping & Layout
• Electrical
• Instrumentation & Process Control
• Utilities offsites and infrastructure
• Serve as a credible technical authority capable of challenging EPC contractors licensors and vendors while maintaining strong working relationships.

Systems Processes & Standards

• Define implement and govern projectspecific engineering execution plans processes and procedures.
• Develop and continuously improve corporate project engineering standards workflows tools and best practices to be used across multiple projects.
• Establish and align engineering standards with:
• Company requirements
• Industry codes & standards
• US and state regulatory requirements
• Process licensor design packages
• SHE Process Safety and Project Excellence (PEX) standards

Design Assurance & Process Safety

• Ensure engineering design quality safety and compliance across all project phases.
• Lead and ensure closure of all design assurance activities including:
• HAZID / HAZOP
• LOPA
• SIL / Functional Safety Reviews
• Management of Change (MOC)
• Technical deviations and concessions
• Ensure all process safety risks are identified assessed escalated and mitigated appropriately.

Integration & Execution

• Ensure full integration of process plants utilities offplots and site infrastructure with clear ownership and defined interfaces.
• Coordinate engineering activities to meet project schedule cost and constructability objectives.
• Interface closely with:
• Procurement & Strategic Sourcing
• Construction
• Commissioning & Startup
• Operations & Maintenance
