Introduction

  • Static Mechanical Engineer is responsible for providing high-level technical expertise, design validation, asset integrity management, and engineering support for all static (stationary) equipment and piping systems within the manufacturing facility.

What are you going to do

  • Review and approve design calculations, data sheets, drawings, and technical specifications for modifications or new procurement of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and tanks.
  • Generate and review Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Piping Material Specifications (PMS), and Material Take-Offs (MTOs) to meet international standards (e.g., ASME, ANSI, API). Develop and review plot plans, equipment layouts and 3D models. Route critical process, utility, and offsite pipelines.
  • Stress Analysis: Perform piping flexibility and stress analysis to ensure systems can withstand high pressures, extreme temperatures, and vibrations.
  • Execute plant modifications via the formal Management of Change (MOC) protocol, ensuring no compromise to process safety or plant design basis.
  • Prepare and approve technical deliverables for replacement projects, including scope of work, technical bid evaluations (TBE), and vendor drawing reviews.
  • Define the technical scope for critical static equipment during scheduled plant shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages.
  • Develop inspection and repair procedures for specialized high-pressure equipment, including shell-and-tube heat exchangers, reformer tubes, and atmospheric storage tanks.
  • Supervise critical repair activities on-site, ensuring field welding, post-weld heat treatment (PWHT), and non-destructive testing (NDT) comply with structural codes.
  • Collaborate with QA/QC and Inspection teams to review inspection findings, wall-thickness reports, and eddy-current testing results to determine asset health.
  • Support Fitness-for-Service (FFS) evaluations and remaining-life assessments for older or degraded stationary equipment.
  • Support root cause analysis (RCA) on mechanical static equipment failures, structural leaks, and chronic piping vibrating issues to implement definitive corrective actions.
  • Enforce strict compliance with international codes, environmental criteria, and corporate Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) standards.
  • Participate as a core technical member in process safety workshops, including Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP), HAZID, and Risk-Based Inspections (RBI).
  • Coach, mentor, and transfer knowledge to junior and mid-level mechanical engineers within the department to foster professional technical growth.

Essential skills and knowledge 

  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from a recognized, accredited university.
  • Minimum 5 years of post-graduate experience in mechanical engineering within a heavy continuous-process chemical plant, petrochemical facility, or refinery environment.
  • Experience in the fertilizer industry (specifically Ammonia, Urea, or Nitrates manufacturing units) is strongly preferred.
  • Proven track record of managing massive capital equipment replacement projects and participating in large-scale plant turnarounds.
  • Language: Must possess excellent fluent English communication skills (both written and verbal) to draft technical engineering reports, lead meetings, and coordinate with international vendors.
  • Software Competency: Advanced proficiency in PV Elite (pressure vessel design), CAESAR II (piping stress analysis) and NozzlePRO.
  • Codes & Standards: Comprehensive working command of ASME Section VIII Div 1 & 2 (Pressure Vessels), ASME B31.3 (Process Piping), API 650/620 (Storage Tanks), and TEMA Standards (Heat Exchangers).
  • Exceptional diagnostic, analytical, and troubleshooting capabilities for complex process plant problems.
  • Clear leadership attributes with experience supervising external multi-disciplinary EPC contractors and vendor engineers.
