Job Description:

We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer to handle mechanical design verification, engineering calculations, equipment specifications, and fabrication-ready drawings for compact, factory-built industrial infrastructure systems. The role involves verifying thermal and hydraulic performance, selecting appropriate equipment and materials, and supporting fabrication, installation, and commissioning activities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Verify heat and mass balances, heat exchanger duties, approach temperatures, heat transfer areas, and design margins.
• Size piping, pumps, valves, supports, and skids, and perform hydraulic and pressure-drop calculations.
• Prepare general arrangement (GA) drawings, layouts, P&ID mark-ups, isometric drawings, and fabrication details for plants and technical halls.
• Evaluate equipment, including used and ex-stock units, for condition, remaining service life, and fitness for purpose.
• Select suitable materials for corrosive service and define civil interface loads, plinths, foundations, and containment requirements.
• Support fabrication, erection, equipment alignment, pressure testing, and leak testing.
• Incorporate verified as-built data into engineering drawings and documentation.
• Work directly with fabricators to ensure engineering requirements are translated into buildable designs.
• Independently prepare engineering calculations and drawings to an issue-ready standard.

Required Qualifications and Experience:

• Minimum 5+ years of experience in energy, industrial, or packaged-plant engineering.
• Experience working on at least one project that has been physically built and commissioned.
• Strong experience in thermal plants, heat exchangers, pumped circuits, and cooling systems.
• Sound understanding of heat balance calculations, hydraulics, NPSH, and materials selection.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and a 3D design package.
• Ability to independently prepare engineering drawings and work directly with fabricators under tight timelines.

Technical Skills and Tools:

• AutoCAD.
• Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, or Fusion.
• Excel for engineering calculations.
• HTRI, AFT Fathom, Pipe-Flo, or the ability to perform reliable first-principles sizing calculations.

Key Deliverables:

• Engineering calculations and design verification reports.
• General arrangement drawings and plant layouts.
• P&ID mark-ups and piping isometrics.
• Pipe supports, weld details, and fabrication drawings.
• Bills of Materials (BOMs) and line lists.
• Equipment sizing and material selection documentation.

Working Model:
The engineering team performs its own calculations and prepares drawings in-house. Candidates must be capable of taking engineering requirements through to issue-ready deliverables and explaining work they have personally completed.
