Job Summary

The Project Engineer (Factory PE) is responsible for developing, validating, and sustaining technical engineering deliverables that support the execution of Standard and Engineering‑to‑Order (ETO) Modular Data Center projects.

This role ensures the technical completeness, design conformity, and engineering consistency of the Prefab solution delivered to internal stakeholders and customers. The Project Engineer acts as a key technical interface between engineering, project management, manufacturing, commissioning, quality, and customer teams.

Key Responsibilities

1. Engineering Design & Documentation

• Develop complete detailed engineering design packages, including:
• Mechanical & electrical layouts
• Single‑line diagrams and schematics
• Bill of Materials (equipment, components, and materials)
• Assembly and integration details
• Prepare advanced CAD / 3D / BIM engineering drawings to support manufacturing and installation needs.
• Ensure engineering documentation follows global Prefab standards, local regulations, and customer-approved designs.

1. Technical Support & Issue Resolution

• Serve as the first point of technical escalation for design-related clarifications within the factory.
• Provide engineering support and guidance to manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and PM teams.
• Perform root-cause analysis and implement design corrections for technical issues identified during production or testing.
• Conduct technical validations and assessments during production, FAT, and commissioning activities.

1. Project Support & Cross‑Functional Coordination

• Collaborate closely with Project Managers to ensure engineering readiness, interface clarity, and solution compliance with project scope.
• Attend project handover (P1) reviews and provide engineering input for planning, risk management, and delivery milestones.
• Support the tendering team when needed by reviewing technical specifications, creating preliminary designs, and validating solution feasibility.
• Interface with front office teams and customers as required for technical clarification and approvals.
• Work with Prefab Commissioning, PM, and Quality teams during execution, testing, and project closure.

1. Compliance, Standards & Best Practices

• Ensure all engineering work complies with local electrical and mechanical standards, codes of practice, and customer-specific regulations.
• Validate system integration against global Prefab MDC design guidelines.
• Actively promote and deploy Prefab best practices, standard designs, and engineering libraries.
• Maintain proper engineering documentation traceability for internal and external audits.

1. Continuous Improvement & Innovation

• Identify opportunities for design simplification, modularization, and digital engineering improvements.
• Contribute to engineering standardization and knowledge management initiatives.
• Support engineering change management (ECN/ECO) processes to incorporate field feedback and manufacturing lessons learned.

• Required Qualifications & Skills
  
  • Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering or a related field.
  • 3-5 years of industrial engineering experience in multi-product or project-based environments.
  • Strong ability to evaluate and validate engineering systems/solutions in accordance with local standards and customer specifications.
  • Proficiency in BIM, CAD, and/or 3D modeling tools (AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, etc.).
  • Experience with assemblies, modular integration, and multi-equipment layouts.
  • Ability to read and interpret advanced construction drawings, wiring diagrams, and engineering documentation.
  • Proactive and organized, with strong problem‑solving and solution‑oriented mindset.
  • Strong soft skills: communication, collaboration, stakeholder management, and engineering clarity.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office, Microsoft Project, and standard engineering tools.
  • Fluent in English (spoken and written).
  • Willingness to travel up to 20% domestically/internationally.
  
  Preferred Competencies
  
  • Experience in modular construction, data center systems, or packaged solutions.
  • Understanding of electrical power distribution (LV/MV), cooling systems, and control systems.
  • Familiarity with Schneider Electric product portfolios is a plus.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes, SPS (Schneider Production System), and FAT processes.
  
  Position Impact
  
  The Project Engineer is essential to ensuring Prefab Modular Data Center solutions maintain technical integrity, meet customer expectations, and achieve operational excellence from design to delivery. This role directly contributes to solution quality, risk reduction, and successful on‑time project execution.
