What are you going to do
- Accountable for the technical integrity of the engineering and design activities within the Rotating equipment discipline and for ensuring that safe, cost efficient and on-time design is developed for the project.
- Be responsible for and provide direction to the technical services in the Rotating engineering elements of the project scope, with special attention to the Design Basis, EPIC scope preparation and execution, design/safety/operations reviews, procurement of Equipment, factory acceptance test, vendor selection, and timely resolution of technical and engineering issues, in coordination with Engineering Manager, other discipline Heads and relevant company stakeholders.
- Be the project's technical expert (TA-2) in the Rotating equipment discipline and will have Technical Authority for disciplines under his organisation. Will have the authority, depending upon their level of expertise/delegated authority, to approve any deviation from DEM-1 (Shall PS). However, they need to discuss the deviation with their reporting line i.e. Department Assistant Managers in Doha for their consent before giving their approval to any deviation to DEM-1 requirements. However, if a technical deviation is beyond their authority level, then they are required to engage relevant (TA- 1), essentially department Assistant Managers, for their review and approval of deviations to DEM-1 requirements.
- Responsible to provide sufficient information and technical justification to the Engineering Manager for any technical deviation for his final decision. Engineering Manager will have the delegated TAO authority for final approval of any technical deviation.
- Responsible to thoroughly investigate any proposed technical deviation and ensure that the deviation doesn't compromise any safety in design but is helpful to optimise the design, improve the availability & operability of the facilities and will optimise project cost without impacting timely Project delivery.
- Ensure that risks associated with the technical deviations are as low as reasonably possible (ALARP) and properly documented.
- Lead the Rotating equipment team in developing design scope and ensure that all related deliverables are in compliance with the applicable codes, standards, Project and Corporate requirements and procedures.
- Coordination of all engineering related reviews including Design Reviews (ITR/PSDR/DRR etc.), ENVID, HAZID, HAZOP, SIL, Bowties, ALARP, SAFOP, SIMOPS, 3D model reviews and Constructability etc. To ensure that all the relevant documents are in place to carry out these reviews effectively and efficiently.
- Coordinate and align the Rotating discipline interfaces between the project phases and direct the contractors design efforts accordingly taking into account safety, start-up, cost and constructability impacts.
- Establish professional work relationships with EPIC contractor, represents company interest and direct contractors with any technical queries and interpretation of scope, specifications and standards.
- Maintain an overview of the project Rotating capability and highlight to Engineering Manager any critical resourcing issues.
- Participate in Project Assurance reviews and Audits and ensure findings are effectively closed out.

- Lead the selection of suitable technology, equipment, field devices, and other Rotating specific systems as per design, evaluate options and select best techno-economic solutions for project facilities.
- Endorse the Rotating design calculation reports, system studies, design philosophies, software model input and output, drawings, data bases, specifications and vendor data.
- Provide technical guidance during engineering stages of the project and monitor the implementation of QA/QC processes, in order to achieve deliverables and facilities that meet project requirements.
- Provide guidance and support to conduct Safety and Design Reviews in coordination with other discipline Heads and Rotating Engineers.
Essential skills and knowledge
- Sc. degree or Higher in Mechanical Engineering from a recognized university; higher degree would be advantageous.
