We are seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Engineer with a deep background in piping and mechanical systems design, inspection testing, preventive maintenance, and asset integrity management. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience supporting both capital project execution and operational reliability in heavy industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, LNG, and renewables.

This role will be instrumental in ensuring the safe, efficient, and code-compliant operation of a wide range of mechanical systems including piping, pumps, pressure vessels, storage tanks, compressors, and rotating equipment through all phases of the asset lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and review piping and mechanical designs, including 3D modeling, layout development, and constructability evaluations for new builds and facility upgrades.

• Develop Inspection Test Plans (ITPs), Preventive Maintenance programs, Construction Work Packages (CWPs), and condition monitoring documentation.

• Oversee inspection, testing, and non-destructive testing (NDT) activities for pressure-containing equipment, ensuring compliance with API and ASME codes and standards.

• Perform fitness-for-service assessments, wall thickness evaluations, and corrosion rate calculations for pressure vessels and storage tanks.

• Interpret and apply industry standards such as API 570, 579, 580, 581, 650, 653, and ASME Section VIII & B31.3 for pressure integrity evaluations.

• Develop and manage Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) strategies for fixed equipment to optimize reliability, compliance, and cost-efficiency.

• Implement and maintain asset integrity and reliability programs using tools like PCMS or similar platforms.

• Support the repurposing, re-rating, and modification of mechanical systems to meet changing operational demands.

• Collaborate with vendors, engineering contractors, and internal stakeholders for material selection, technical reviews, and procurement alignment.

• Provide field engineering support during construction, commissioning, and startup, with a focus on mechanical and rotating equipment.

• Lead or support preventive maintenance planning and execution across piping and pressure equipment systems.

• Participate in Management of Change (MOC) processes, hazard identification (HAZID), and safety and risk assessments.

• Prepare technical documentation including SPIRs, FMRs, and preservation checklists for warehouse inventory compliance.

Qualifications

• Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (PE/Chartered Engineer status preferred).

• 10+ years of experience in mechanical/piping engineering, with a strong focus on inspection, maintenance, and pressure systems in oil & gas, petrochemical, or renewable energy industries.

• Extensive knowledge of API and ASME standards, including but not limited to API 570, 579, 580, 581, 650, 653, ASME Section VIII, B31.3, etc.

• Proven experience in developing and executing preventive maintenance and inspection testing programs for pressure vessels and storage tanks.

• Familiarity with asset integrity software such as PCMS, and RBI methodologies.

• Demonstrated success in field-based engineering, including troubleshooting, start-up, and optimization of mechanical systems.

• Proficient in software such as AutoCAD/Plant 3D, MS Project, and relevant engineering analysis tools.

• Strong communication, technical writing, and project coordination skills.

Preferred Attributes

• Experience working directly with owner/operators in refinery, LNG, or upstream/midstream settings.

• Comfortable operating in both office and field environments, including turnaround or shutdown scenarios.

• Practical knowledge of welding, materials selection, and corrosion mechanisms in high-risk environments.
