The role contributes to and/or coordinates EIA engineering and construction activities and supports project start-ups in collaboration with other technical teams, ensuring compliance with applicable Cargill standards and local regulations. 

Key Accountabilities

• Support the preparation of project commitments and cost estimates for approval by coordinating basic and detailed EIA engineering activities, aligned with project complexity.
• Contribute technical expertise and collaborate effectively with cross-functional technical teams.
• Based on project complexity, either lead the execution of less complex projects or support the delivery of more complex projects under the guidance of senior EIA Project Engineers.
• Manage approved EIA budgets and schedules as applicable, ensuring projects are delivered in line with agreed scope, quality, and timelines.
• Ensure Management of Change (MoC) processes are applied throughout all project phases.
• Depending on project complexity, lead and coordinate EIA construction activities, including contractor oversight and collaboration.
• Support project procurement activities by providing technical specifications and best-practice guidance for EIA materials, services, and labor requirements.
• Contribute to the evaluation and selection of external suppliers and contractors.
• Ensure project documentation is developed, maintained, and managed in accordance with established standards and procedures, and that required reviews and approvals are obtained from relevant technical stakeholders (for example, P&IDs with input from Process Design Group teams).
• Ensure projects are executed in accordance with Cargill standards, policies, guidelines, and applicable national and international regulations, codes, and standards.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering practices by incorporating lessons learned and project experience into standards and processes.
