  • Contribute to piping material specifications and construction requirements (e.g., PWHT, NDE, bolting practices, coatings).
  • Participate in interdisciplinary design reviews (PFDs, P&IDs, 3D models, equipment lists).
  • Support HAZOPs, PHAs, and other safety reviews.
  • Provide technical support to Project Managers throughout design, procurement, construction, and startup.
  • Assist with site activities, help resolve field engineering issues, and respond to RFIs.
  • Contribute to the development and improvement of internal engineering standards, tools, and best practices.
  • Share knowledge and provide informal guidance to junior engineers as needed.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
  • Experience supporting EPC projects within petrochemical, refining, gas processing, or similar industrial facilities.
  • Familiarity with ASME codes, API standards, and applicable industry regulations.
