Design Engineer (Static Equipment)

Our client is looking for an experienced Static Equipment Design Engineer to handle the design, analysis, and documentation of static equipment used in industrial projects. The role involves working with multiple engineering teams to ensure safety, quality, and compliance with industry standards.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Engineering:

Develop detailed designs, specifications, and data sheets for static equipment including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and columns.

Calculations & Analysis:

Perform engineering calculations and simulations (e.g., stress analysis, MAWP, MSOT) to determine optimal materials, dimensions, and operational parameters for equipment using software like PV Elite or COMPRESS.

Standards & Compliance:

Ensure all designs comply with applicable international codes and standards (e.g., ASME Sec VIII, API 510/572/650, TEMA, PD5500, IBR).

Documentation & Review:

Create and review detailed engineering drawings (GA and fabrication drawings), technical reports, material requisitions (MR/RFQ), and manufacturing data reports (MDR).

Collaboration:

Coordinate with multi-disciplinary teams (process, piping, instrumentation, civil, electrical) and external vendors to ensure design cohesion and project requirements are met.

Vendor Management:

Review and approve vendor proposals, designs, and calculations; manage communication with vendors for technical clarifications and design changes (DCRs).

Technical Support:

Provide technical expertise and support to maintenance, inspection, construction, and commissioning teams, including participating in root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and HAZOPs.

Qualifications

Education:

Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field from a recognized university.

Experience:

A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in static equipment design within the Petrochemical, energy, or EPCC industries.

Required Skills & Knowledge

Technical Software Proficiency:

• Pressure vessel design software (PV Elite, COMPRESS)
• CAD software (AutoCAD)
• Analysis software (FEA tools like ANSYS is a plus)

Code Knowledge:

Strong working knowledge of industry codes and standards like ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes (Section VIII Div 1 & 2), API standards (510, 650, 620), and TEMA.

Soft Skills:

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively in a team environment and manage client/vendor relationships.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and adapt to tight deadlines.
