• Prepare detailed 3D models of mechanical equipment and skids using Autodesk Inventor.
• Generate and extract essential deliverables from models, including P&IDs, Isometric Drawings (ISOs), general arrangements, and fabrication drawings.
• Create and update bill of materials (BOMs), equipment lists, and line lists.
• Perform basic pipe stress analysis or interface with specialists to ensure system flexibility and nozzle load compliance.

Project Support & Execution:

• Assist in the development of scope of work and Invitation to Tender (ITT) documentation for static equipment and piping packages.
• Provide essential mechanical engineering support during all project phases (FEED, detailed design, construction).
• Run clash detection within the 3D model environment and resolve spatial conflicts.

Vendor & Contractor Coordination:

• Serve as the primary technical contact for static equipment vendors, managing the review and approval of all deliverables.
• Conduct reviews of contractor-issued mechanical/piping models and drawings, ensuring compliance with project standards.

Health, Safety, Environment (HSE) & Compliance:

• Ensure all designs for static equipment and piping adhere to company safety standards, environmental regulations, and all applicable codes (ASME, API, PED).
• Incorporate safety and sustainability principles into all designs.

Documentation & Standards:

• Maintain thorough and well-organized documentation of all calculations, specifications, datasheets, models, drawings, and vendor correspondence.
• Uphold and apply company engineering and design standards.

Qualifications & Experience

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or other closely related discipline. (Mandatory)
• Experience: 4 - 8 years of relevant experience in mechanical engineering, with a focus on static equipment and piping design within the oil & gas, petrochemical, or energy sectors.

Technical Skills (Mandatory):

• Static Equipment Expertise: Proven experience in the design, specification, and vendor management of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, crane, mechanical handling devices and tanks. Working knowledge of ASME Section VIII Div. 1, API 650/653, and TEMA standards.
• CAD Proficiency: High proficiency inAutoCAD Plant 3Dfor piping modeling andAutodesk Inventorfor structural and equipment design.
• Design Software: Experience with pressure vessel calculation software (e.g., PV Elite) andpipe stress analysis concepts using software like CAESAR II is highly desirable.
• Codes & Standards: Working knowledge of ASME B31.3, and other relevant piping and structural codes.

Technical Skills (Preferred):

• Experience with other CAD software (e.g., SOLIDWORKS).

Soft Skills:

• Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to quality and accuracy in both engineering and design.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for effective coordination with vendors, team members, and other disciplines.
