Job Summary: The Design Coordinator plays a key role in supporting the multidisciplinary engineering delivery for pumped storage hydropower (PSH) projects. The position focuses on day-to-day coordination of design activities, tracking deliverables, managing interfaces, and ensuring alignment across engineering disciplines and stakeholders. The role supports the Design Manager and Deputy PSH Design Manager in ensuring design progress, consistency, and compliance with project requirements related to quality, schedule, and constructability. The Design Coordinator acts as a central point for coordination between engineering, procurement, construction, and external design partners.#LI-RM1 Major Responsibilities: Coordinate day-to-day engineering activities across disciplines (civil, geotechnical, structural, hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical). Support integration of design inputs across major PSH components (waterways, underground works, dams, and power facilities). Track engineering deliverables against the design schedule and milestones. Identify delays, interface gaps, and bottlenecks and escalate issues proactively. Support preparation and maintenance of design status reports and dashboards. Coordinate submission, review, and approval cycles of design deliverables. Ensure deliverables meet required design maturity levels and quality standards. Maintain coordination with document control systems (e.g., Aconex/ACC). Facilitate interdisciplinary design reviews and ensure timely closure of comments. Support review workflows with Design Manager, Owner's Engineer, and third-party stakeholders. Assist in ensuring compliance with applicable codes, standards, and regulatory requirements. Coordinate with construction teams to ensure design reflects construction methodology and sequencing. Support constructability reviews and identification of clashes or execution risks. Liaise with procurement teams to align design requirements with vendor inputs and equipment interfaces. Support management of design changes, technical queries (RFIs), and non-conformances. Assist in coordinating responses to site queries and construction issues. Track design changes to ensure proper documentation and alignment. Support coordination with Owner, Owner's Engineer, regulatory authorities, and design consultants. Prepare inputs for coordination meetings and technical workshops. Contribute to lessons learned, process improvements, and value engineering initiatives. Support strengthening of engineering governance and coordination processes.
