Job Summary
The Engineering Designer is responsible for the accuracy and capture of technical requirements, ensuring a traceable line from stakeholder problems to engineering solutions. This role executes the Plan and Check phases of the PDCA cycle by developing technical designs (BOQ, BOM, Drawings) and investigating implementation against these plans. Crucially, the role serves as a source of organizational learning, responsible for identifying process improvements that reduce cost or enhance efficiency, and escalating them for company-wide adoption.
Specific Duties and Responsibilities
1. Technical Requirements & Problem Definition
- Captures Stakeholder Context. Prioritizes accuracy of technical requirements by engaging with stakeholders (internal and external) to understand their context, pain points, and needs.
- Problem Tracing. Creates a traceable line from the verified Problem Statement to required technical specifications. Gathers evidence and proof for verification of actual conditions.
- Verifies Conditions. Conducts site inspections or data analysis to verify actual conditions before solution formulation, ensuring requirements are based on reality, not assumptions.
2. Solution Design, Planning & Documentation
- Develops Technical Solutions. Creates specifications, plans, diagrams, and drawings to address the defined problem. Prepares Bills of Quantities (BOQ) and Bills of Materials (BOM).
- Adherence to Process. Strictly follows established engineering processes and safety standards to ensure compliance and reliability in all designs.
- Meeting Documentation. Records technical minutes and notes during meetings with community stakeholders and internal teams to ensure all technical decisions are logged.
3. Process Improvement & Innovation (The "Check" & "Act" Role)
- Disciplined Innovation. Identifies opportunities to improve existing processes where targets can be exceeded or costs reduced without compromising requirements.
- Coordination & Escalation. Responsible for escalating proposed new methods or techniques to management. Ensures that any innovation is documented and coordinated with stakeholders for potential adoption by the wider organization.
- Feedback Loop. Provides specific feedback on internal processes and management systems to foster organizational learning.
4. Implementation Oversight
- Investigates Execution. Collects feedback and investigates implementors' plans and ongoing execution of the design. Ensures physical work matches the technical design.
- Traceability of Changes. Aligns and traces any changes that occur during implementation. Documents conditions to improve personal techniques and communicate lessons learned to management.
5. Quality Assurance & Control
- Corrective & Preventive Action (CAPA). Acts as a QA controller by observing projects for non-conformities. Escalates and documents Corrective Actions or Preventive Actions to superior officers and management.
- Process Control. Works with the company to ensure processes, specifications, manuals, and methods are controlled and documented, enabling future automation and service level improvements.
6. Professional Development & Training
- Continuous Learning. Dedicates time to learn all company products, services, certifications, and trainings required to perform at industry-best standards.
- Mentorship. Teaches and mentors OJTs, interns, and junior staff to build organizational capacity.
7. Professional Integrity & Availability
- Emergency Response. Demonstrates professional integrity by prioritizing contractual obligations. This includes the duty to reschedule leaves and vacations when emergencies or critical problems arise that require engineering intervention.
8. Other Tasks
- Other tasks that the Engineering Manager or Director may assign from time to time.
