- Ensure safety reliability and cost-effective solutions across front-end and detailed design phases.
- Mentor engineers manage interfaces with other disciplines and drive quality and schedule adherence for rotating equipment deliverables.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the mechanical design and sizing of rotating equipment and associated auxiliaries for FEED and Detail Engineering.
- Develop and review mechanical design basis equipment specifications datasheets and technical bid evaluations for rotating machinery.
- Perform and supervise calculations and analyses (e.g. pump head/flow compressor performance rotor dynamics vibration mechanical seals bearings lubrication).
- Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards (e.g. ASME API ISO NFPA) and regulatory requirements.
- Coordinate interfaces with process mechanical piping electrical instrumentation and civil disciplines; manage vendor and contractor drawings and inquiries.
- Lead risk assessments and safety reviews related to rotating equipment (HAZOP/HAZID LOPA RAM analyses MAHV considerations).
- Review and approve technical deliverables (Equipment datasheets MOC/Change notes design change requests technical queries).
- Mentor and develop junior mechanical engineers; support staffing training and performance reviews.
- Develop and manage execution plans man-hour estimates and budgets for rotating equipment scope.
- Ensure quality assurance and documentation practices including drawing standards datasheets and requisition packages.
- Support field construction commissioning and start-up activities; address punch lists and as-built documentation.
- Stay abreast of advances in rotating equipment technology and recommend value-added solutions.
