Advastar’s owner’s engineering services bring hands-on oversight and extensive project management expertise to the planning and execution of large-scale construction projects. We support project owners at all stages, from initial design through successful completion, serving as a trusted partner providing coordination between the contractors, designers, and regulatory agencies involved in your project’s development.
As experts in CAPEX and infrastructure construction, we understand the challenges that arise during these projects. There are multiple areas that need to be aligned, from the feasibility of the build through managing the budget and schedule for the work, providing quality assurance, and verifying its compliance with safety standards and industry regulations. An Advastar owner’s engineer has the experience and technical knowledge to ensure all aspects of the project are in keeping with clients’ needs.
Our work as owner’s engineers starts by collaborating with the client to develop and clarify a project strategy. We bring extensive front-end engineering design (FEED) experience to the table, delivering insights in areas like feasibility studies, cost projections, risk assessment, and evaluation of the technical requirements. We also perform value engineering analysis, identifying opportunities for design and material optimization that will reduce costs without sacrificing functionality or quality.
Once the project is ready for implementation, we provide hands-on supervision across the construction team. This includes facilitating communication between the owner, contractors, and regulatory agencies, as well as monitoring construction through regular site visits to verify the work is in keeping with design specifications and resolve any issues that arise. We also handle the documentation and reporting, maintaining records of all project operations and delivering accountability and transparency through progress reports and technical evaluations.
In short, an Advastar owner’s engineer serves as a consultant, partner, and advocate to provide peace of mind that your project will deliver on all its promises, both from a technical and financial standpoint. If you need engineering expertise for a complex project, contact our company today to learn how we can help.
As GE’s staffing partner of the year, we’re 100% dedicated to serving our clients with world-class support, and we’d love to learn more about your objectives to create a custom owner’s engineering solution for your next project.
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand the project’s technical scope, from FEED review through commissioning. As recruitment specialists working with owner’s engineers, we recognize that you need staff who can effectively review contractor deliverables, validate technical decisions, and protect the owner’s interests throughout the project lifecycle.
We specialize in recruiting across all major disciplines needed for owner’s engineering teams, including Process Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical/Instrumentation Engineers, Civil/Structural Engineers, and Technical Safety specialists. We understand that each role requires both deep technical expertise and the ability to review contractor work.
Our technical screening process specifically evaluates candidates’ experience in reviewing engineering documents, including P&IDs, equipment specifications, calculations, and technical bid evaluations. We verify their ability to identify technical issues and provide constructive feedback to EPC contractors.
Yes, we maintain networks of engineers with industry-specific experience and understand the unique requirements of different sectors. We verify candidates’ familiarity with relevant codes, standards, and industry best practices, as well as their experience with specific process technologies.
We evaluate candidates’ experience in managing relationships with EPC contractors, including their approach to technical discussions, ability to maintain professional relationships while being assertive, and track record of resolving technical disputes constructively.
We thoroughly verify all professional qualifications including PE licenses, industry-specific certifications, and specialized training. We understand that owner’s engineers often need specific certifications to comply with project requirements or insurance obligations.
We offer flexible staffing solutions that align with project phases from FEED review through commissioning. This includes providing specialists for specific review milestones, ramping teams up or down based on deliverable schedules, and maintaining continuity of key positions throughout the project.
Our fee structure reflects the complexity of finding qualified owner’s engineers with specific technical expertise. We offer volume-based pricing for multiple placements on the same project and can structure fees based on contract duration and level of specialization required.
Our screening process specifically evaluates candidates’ understanding of the oversight role. We verify their ability to review and validate engineering work rather than perform direct design, and their experience in protecting owners’ interests while maintaining collaborative relationships with contractors.
Yes, we understand the dynamic nature of large industrial projects and maintain pools of pre-screened candidates who can adapt to shifting timelines. We can begin searching with flexible start dates and help manage candidate availability during project delays.
We assess candidates’ proficiency with common engineering software packages and their ability to effectively review contractor deliverables in various formats. This includes experience with 3D model reviews, simulation software, and industry-specific design tools.
We can help staff positions globally and understand the unique requirements of international projects. This includes finding candidates with experience working across different international standards (ASME, API, ISO, etc.) and managing engineering teams across multiple time zones.
We verify candidates’ experience in identifying and evaluating technical risks, including their track record with HAZOP studies, technical safety reviews, and constructability assessments. We understand the critical role owner’s engineers play in managing project risk.
Yes, we can provide highly specialized engineers for specific project phases or review milestones. This includes experts in areas like process safety, materials selection, or specific technologies who can supplement your core team when needed.
We implement strict confidentiality protocols when recruiting for projects involving proprietary technology. This includes securing appropriate NDAs, carefully controlling technical information during the recruitment process, and verifying candidates’ history of handling confidential technical information.
