and deliverables and run design and progress reviews.

• Oversee technical performance of the EPC; review key engineering deliverables and

manage RFIs, design changes, and other technical issues.

• Work with supply chain to plan procurement of major equipment and materials; ensure

vendor compliance and support FATs and inspections as needed.

• Help translate engineering into construction-ready work packages and execution plans;

provide engineering support during construction, commissioning, and startup.

• Identify and manage technical and regulatory risks; ensure compliance with applicable

codes/standards and champion safety-by-design.

• Help define internal roles, support hiring and onboarding, and mentor engineers; improve

Alva’s standards, tools, and processes for project delivery.

Engineering Development:

deliverables, quality criteria, and gate reviews.

• Coordinate multi-discipline design (mechanical, piping, electrical/I&C, civil/structural,

BOP) to deliver an integrated, constructible, code-compliant plant.

• Draft and review engineering standards, technical specifications, and contract scopes for

EPC and major equipment.

Project Development:

construction engineering, procurement, field execution, and QA/QC.

• Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g., ASME, IEEE, ACI); experience with

nuclear or decarbonization technologies is a plus.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Civil, or related engineering

discipline.

• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills; willing to travel up to ~25% to

project sites and suppliers.
