Internship Duke Energy Gas Jobs (NOW HIRING)

PMC is the Project Management and Construction group within Duke Energy, responsible for building our new power generation assets and is in the early stages of the largest buildout in the history of the company.As part of Duke Energy's broader strategy to meet rising customer demand and decarbonize the grid, PMC is actively planning and building renewable solar and bulk energy storage, new simple and combined cycle turbines, as well as developing projects for advanced nuclear, pumped storage hydro, and other emerging technologies. PMC is accountable for the development, design, construction, and commissioning of new generating facilities.

Within PMC, Project Engineering is responsible for technical management of all phases of project planning and execution to ensure project success factors are met. These include but are not limited to scope, schedule, cost, quality, environmental, safety, communications, security, and integration. This position is typically under the general direction of a Project Director or Senior PM in a matrixed project organization. The Project Engineer provides leadership of engineers and technical staff within PMC as well as other internal stakeholders for the analysis, development, design and construction of regulated new generation projects. Additionally, this position obtains and manages technical consultants and contingent labor, as needed, to meet team demands.

The Project Engineer serves as the unifying agent providing technical leadership, decision making, management, guidance, direction, coordination, and overall control of technical aspects of projects in accordance with established policies, procedures, systems, and requirements of the Company. Through their technical leadership, the incumbent serves as the technical conscience through all phases of project execution, from development through design, construction, commissioning, and turnover.

The Senior Engineer manages work in engineering areas of specialization, with minimal supervision. The Senior Engineer is expected to develop advanced skills and to have the ability to work independently, with guidance limited to unusual or complex projects or issues. Employees in the Senior Engineer position are fully competent in the use of concepts and procedures. The Senior Engineer identifies problems, develops solutions and takes action to resolve.

At Senior level, the Project Engineer is typically assigned a portfolio of projects with Moderate to High levels of risk that involve team members who are sourced from multiple organizations, rely on multiple interdependent vendors, and stakeholders that include Senior Management, External Agencies, and likely the Board of Directors (among others).

This position will initially support the development of new gas-fired simple cycle and combined cycle generation projects, including scope development, EPC bid package support, cost and schedule input, risk identification, bid evaluation, contract development, and coordination of engineering deliverables. As projects advance, the selected candidate is expected to transition from development/portfolio support into a dedicated project assignment and ultimately provide field-based Project Engineering support after construction mobilization.
