Senior Mechanical Engineer

Description

• Coordinate / Review PFDs, P&IDs, piping plans, site layouts and interact with other discipline teams (process instrumentation and controls, structural, civil, electrical), as well as internal and external clients to achieve project objectives within the assigned budget and schedule.
• Continuously improve project workflows and standards to ensure consistent, high-quality designs for mechanical and piping designs.
• Engineering Solutions Design: Design engineering solutions and the associated validation process to enable the realization of a design brief (for example, in terms of functionality, performance, aesthetics, and cost) that conforms to organizational and/or regulatory standards.
• Serve as the Subject Matter Expert on mechanical and piping design, ensuring compliance with ASME, API and ASTM codes.
• Review, and mark-up contractor and supplier submittals and shop drawings.
• Perform as the Regional Design Discipline Lead (RDDL) by collaboration with the Americas Design Discipline Lead (ADDL) to continuously develop and improve standards specifications, templates and technical procedures.
• Feasibility Studies: Conduct complex feasibility studies from a technological and organizational perspective and document findings to complete cost-benefit analysis on implementing changes to business processes, products, or business unit structure.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, less experienced team members, and high-value engineering partners.
• Provide PE Stamp to submission packages of the mechanical discipline.
• Coordinate / Review Pipe Stress Analysis results and pipe support design. Ensure pipe stress analysis results and pipe supports designs are included into the piping deliverables and piping 3D models.
• Analyse client RFPs, technical specifications and requirements in terms of mechanical and piping engineering principles and requirements.
• Prepare progress reports for the mechanical discipline on assigned projects.
• Technical Developments Recommendation: Discuss and recommend more complex or innovative technical developments to improve the quality of the website/portal/application software and supporting infrastructure to better meet users’ needs.
• Coordinate, Supervise and provide detailed mark-ups to designers to prepare 3D models and drawings.
• Professional Supervision: Lead and oversee the provision of professional supervision to ensure that there is effective professional supervision that supports practitioners' professional development and embeds reflective practice.
• Prepare budgets and schedules for input into proposals.
• Perform as a Mechanical Lead for different Oil & Gas projects.
• Support onsite construction and commissioning by addressing technical questions and resolving issues in real time.
• Prepare / Review mechanical engineering calculations, mechanical specifications, data sheets, requisitions for equipment, materials, and subcontracts.
• Ensure technical communication is clear, concise, and well understood by partners across different levels of management (both internal and external clients)
• Prepare / Review lists (equipment, valve, piping, tie-in, and specialty items).
• Prepare hydraulic, transient and stress analyses of critical piping systems.
• Prepare mechanical and piping system designs, calculations, specifications and reports.
• Evaluation and optimization of operating equipment
• Communicate and interface regularly with clients as well as vendors and contractors
• Engineering Standards Specification: Analyze information, draft engineering standards and specifications, and evaluate the effectiveness of those standards within own engineering discipline to ensure work of the required quality is delivered and to inform engineering work in the organization and/or of its suppliers, contractors, and consultants.
• Complete QA/QC reviews and peer reviews completed by others within the mechanical discipline.
• Ensures the mechanical deliverables list satisfies the contracted scope of work to be executed.
• Communicate the impact of modifications into the projects and escalate concerns regarding schedules or material lead times.

Requirements

• Experience in gas handling, compression, and treatment systems for natural gas and/or landfill gas; hydrogen handling, blending and storage for Future Energy projects is a plus.
• Experience with equipment engineering and design. Including but not limited to:
• In-depth knowledge of ASME piping codes (B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, B31.8), ASME Section VIII Div 1, ASTM, API, and others.
• Experience with Caesar II pipe stress analysis, Energy Institute Guidelines for vibration analysis and engineering support for detailed design packages containing isometric drawings would be well-regarded.
• Familiarity with BIM 360, AutoCAD Construction Cloud (ACC), Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, Navisworks or similar 3D coordination tools.
• A strong foundation in piping or vessel engineering with a demonstrated ability to apply first principles to solve complex design and field challenges
• Professional Engineer (P.E.) License in the state of Texas or Louisiana.
• Minimum of 15 years of experience in Oil & Gas industries and others including water, wastewater, storm water, renewable natural gas, hydrogen, agricultural, food and beverage, power generation, co-generation and industrial facility facilities.
• Experience with the following industries and/or production environments:
• Bachelor’s and/or Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
