## Job Summary:

In this role, you will lead and administer the project Energy Isolation Management and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) program for construction activities under Bechtel jurisdictional control. You will direct assigned LOTO personnel and coordinate with Site Management, Startup, Environmental, Safety & Health (ES&H), Construction, Engineering, Work Group Supervisors, Authorized Operators, Permit Requestors, subcontractors, and customer representatives. You will own program implementation, isolation-boundary scoping and verification, Energy Isolation Permit (EIP) governance, lock box and key control, competency authorization, audits, records, and application of NFPA 70E and project requirements to protect personnel and equipment from hazardous energy. #LI-ME1

## Major Responsibilities:

- Own and implement the project Energy Isolation Management/LOTO program, including procedures, workflows, roles, interfaces, and controls consistent with the governing Bechtel SWPP and applicable regulatory requirements.
- Direct assigned LOTO coordinators, Tagging Authorities, permit personnel, and supporting field engineers; establish priorities, staffing, communications, coverage, and consistent execution across shifts and work areas.
- Lead isolation-boundary scoping using current design information, single-line diagrams, panel schedules, schematics, P&IDs, field changes, as-builts, cable data, system boundaries and status, interlocks, backfeeds, temporary energy sources, stored energy, and simultaneous operations considerations.
- Review, approve, issue, modify, suspend, revoke, and close Energy Isolation Permits (EIPs) within delegated authority; confirm work scope, isolation points, protective measures, implementation sequence, special conditions, independent verification, zero-energy checks, sign-on/sign-off requirements, and readiness for return to service. Ensure isolation boundaries adequately control all applicable hazardous energy sources, including but not limited to rotating and reciprocating equipment, gravity and stored-energy hazards, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, pressure systems, and chemical energy associated with corrosive, toxic, flammable, reactive, cryogenic, or otherwise hazardous process media.
- Administer NFPA 70E and project electrical safe-work requirements, including electrically safe work conditions, work on or near energized conductors and circuit parts, energized electrical work permits when applicable, and shock and arc-flash risk controls.
- Control safety tags, LOTO devices, master keys, lock boxes, key safes, permit logs, EIP files, authorized-personnel lists, personal LOTO records, Sanction to Test activities, master clearances, and required electronic or hard-copy records.
- Coordinate competency assessment, authorization, training, and re-verification for Permit Requestors, Authorized Employees, Authorized Operators, Independent Verifiers, Work Group Supervisors, and Tagging Authorities; coach personnel on hazardous-energy control and boundary requirements.
- Plan and support field and annual inspections, audits, investigations, corrective actions, lessons learned, and performance reviews; stop or revoke work when isolation boundaries, protective measures, zero-energy conditions, or work practices are unsafe or unsatisfactory.

## Education and Experience Requirements:

- Requires bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) and typically 8-10 years of relevant experience or 12-14 years of relevant work experience.

## Required Knowledge and Skills:

- Advanced knowledge of NFPA 70E, electrically safe work conditions, shock and arc-flash risk controls, energized-work interfaces, temporary and permanent power systems, and low-, medium-, and high-voltage isolation methods.
- Advanced knowledge of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, pressure, gravity, kinetic, and stored-energy controls, including positive, proved, non-proved, group, system-boundary, and project-wide master isolations.
- Ability to independently scope complex isolation boundaries using single-line diagrams, schematics, P&IDs, panel schedules, cable data, equipment documents, field walkdowns, current revisions, system status, interlocks, backfeeds, temporary sources, and commissioning interfaces.
- Experience administering EIPs, lock box and key controls, safety tagging, zero-energy verification, Sanction to Test, permit modifications, emergency changes or closures, return-to-service coordination, Q4 Safety or equivalent systems, and auditable records.
- Strong leadership, communication, technical judgment, and organization to direct LOTO personnel, assess competency, coordinate across Construction, Startup, Engineering, ES&H, subcontractors, and customers, and intervene when requirements or safe isolation conditions are not met.
