RENEWABLE GASES EUROPE (RGE) is ENGIE’s business entity responsible for the development of renewable and low carbon gases[1] production in Europe. Since 2015, ENGIE has been developing biomethane production activity. At the beginning of 2023, its portfolio includes 26 plants in operation, of which 19 are self-operated, with a total production capacity of 550 GWh/y @100% and a development pipeline of 1.4 TWh/y.

ENGIE is determined to become a leading player in 1G[2] biomethane in Europe. The ambition is to grow rapidly to reach 10 TWh/y of biomethane production capacity by 2030.

In Europe, outside France, biomethane production projects are already under development in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland and Italy. Spain, Portugal and Romania are other countries of interest. The strategy is to develop projects, greenfield and through M&A, to inject biomethane into the gas grid or to produce bioLNG.

Under the responsibility of the Head of Engineering, the 3D CAD Discipline Manager reports functionally to the Engineering Director.

The 3D CAD discipline Manager is in charge of the 2D/3D CAD design team and 2D/3D discipline. He/She supervises the designers placed under his responsibility and/or subcontracted designers.

MAIN DUTIES

• Coordinate projects drawing production according to project managers schedule and priorities.
• Be responsible of the 3D cad design delivery
• Supervise and unify the team practices and quality level.
• Maintain up to date the cad data base.
• Animate and/or get involved in projects critical design review gateway meetings (Hazop, ALM, 3D progress…)
• Identify projects constraints and organize the team production according to projects needs.
• Prepare dimensional drawings, installation drawings, layout, isometrics.
• Verify interfaces between disciplines and packages and is able to contact suppliers to alert/resolve/get additional details in order to meet the project schedule.
• Report on a regular basis, the drafting production status and potential difficulties to project managers and engineering management.
• Coordinate with other discipline leads and/or subcontractors, manage clashes between disciplines and/or supplier’s packages, tracks the progress and supervises issue resolutions.
• Identify when issues has to be raised or arbitrated to/by engineering management.
• Plan and monitors the workload and time spent by each CAD designers of his team or subcontracted,
• Alert and suggest mitigation plans when deviation
• Participate in standardization and industrialization work, and deployment of solutions,
• Be proactive in choosing the tools and methods to implement,
• Responisible for integration of 3^rd party packages (zero point integration etc.)

HSE

• Develop a safety culture during project design and implementation, both within the engineering team and contractors.
• Ensure that “in design” HSE principles/practices/reviews are properly taken into account and followed.

Quality

• Responsible of the quality performance of his discipline and the deployment of RGE Quality Management System.
• Ensure that quality control processes are in place and reworks are minimized.
• Lead non-conformance (NCR) management, ensuring that measures are taken to avoid repetition of mistakes. 
• Enforce progressive compilation of red-line documentation and quality records.
• Organize specific training sessions with the project team, suppliers and contractors.

Planning

• Ensure day to day direction and prioritisation of all activities and functions within the discipline scope.
• Ensure high quality and timely planning reporting.

POSITION IN THE ORGANIZATION

ACTIVITIES

The Discipline Manager Process is responsible for the following activities:

Set up and manage the process team

• Under the responsibility of the Head of Engineering, recruit and integrate process engineers - in collaboration with HR team.
• Manage the process team across the different engineering offices (all types of mechanical, biological and gaz processes used in RGE activities)
• Ensure the development of team competencies, in coordination with HR & Talents, through training, work experience and career development

Ensure the production of process engineering deliverables for RGE projects :

• Manage the process team workload and the adequate mobilization of engineers in project teams (teams reporting operationally to the project manager), at all stages of a project (development, design & procurement, construction&commissioning) to :
  • Perform Preliminary, Basic & Detailed Process Design including equipment design or specification, and sizing, production of heat and material balances, PFDs, P&Ids, preparation of process and equipment specifications and data sheets, drafting of commissioning and operating manuals...
