Mechanical Engineer

Join a forward-thinking organization where innovation and engineering excellence are at the core of everything we do. You will be part of a collaborative, results-driven culture that empowers its members to tackle complex challenges and make a tangible impact on significant industrial projects. We are committed to professional growth and provide an environment where your skills are valued, and your contributions directly influence project success. This is an opportunity to work alongside industry experts on diverse and challenging assignments that will expand your professional horizons.

Key Responsibilities

- Spearhead the development, review, and revision of complex Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), ensuring they accurately reflect the process flow, safety systems (interlocks), and control logic for new and existing facilities.

- Drive the mechanical design and specification of critical process equipment; this includes preparing detailed datasheets and specifications for pumps, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, compressors, and other rotating machinery.

- Execute intricate hydraulic calculations for complex piping networks to determine pressure drops, flow velocities, and pump head requirements, guaranteeing optimal system performance and energy efficiency.

- Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams—including Civil, Structural, Electrical, and Chemical engineers—to support and influence plant layout design, ensuring logical equipment placement, operational accessibility, and maintenance-friendly arrangements.

- Perform rigorous technical evaluations of vendor bids for mechanical equipment, providing clear recommendations based on compliance, cost, and lifecycle value.

- Uphold the highest standards of process safety by actively participating in Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) and Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) reviews, and by implementing recommendations through the Management of Change (MOC) process.

- Generate and maintain a comprehensive suite of technical documentation, including equipment lists, line lists, cause-and-effect diagrams, and operational manuals to support the full project lifecycle.

- Provide essential engineering support during the construction, commissioning, and start-up phases of projects, troubleshooting on-site issues as they arise and ensuring a smooth transition to operations.

Core Qualifications & Experience

- A Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) or a closely related engineering discipline is required.

- A minimum of five to seven years of progressive experience as a Process Mechanical Engineer or in a similar role within an EPC or operating company environment.

- Demonstrable, hands-on experience in the design and specification of mechanical equipment for process-intensive industries such as Oil & Gas, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverage, or Water Treatment.

- In-depth, practical knowledge of fundamental engineering principles, including fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and material science.

- Proven expertise in the creation and interpretation of P&IDs and other process flow diagrams. Your ability to translate a process schematic into a functional mechanical design is paramount.

- Thorough familiarity with relevant industry codes and standards is essential (e.g., ASME B31.3 for Process Piping, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, and various API standards).

Technical Proficiencies

- Process Simulation: Proficiency or significant exposure to process simulation software such as Aspen HYSYS or similar tools for process modeling and analysis.

- CAD & Plant Design: Advanced skills in 2D/3D plant design software. Direct experience with packages like AutoCAD Plant 3D, CADWorx, and Navisworks for layout and model review is highly desirable.

- Pipe Stress Analysis: Working knowledge or direct experience with pipe stress analysis software (e.g., CAESAR II) to ensure piping system integrity under various operating conditions.

- General Software: Competency with the standard suite of office software for reporting and communication.
