Desired candidate profile

Design and Analysis of Static Equipment Lead the design and analysis of static equipment, ensuring they are structurally sound, safe, and compliant with industry standards. Perform detailed stress analysis using software tools (e.g., CAESAR II, ANSYS, STAAD.Pro) to evaluate the performance of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and other equipment. Select appropriate materials and design methods based on load conditions, operating environments, and safety considerations.

Compliance with Codes and Standards Ensure designs adhere to relevant codes and standards, such as ASME (e.g., ASME BPVC for pressure vessels), API (e.g., API 650 for storage tanks), and ISO standards. Stay updated on changes in codes and regulations to ensure all equipment designs are compliant with the latest requirements. Conduct safety and risk assessments to identify potential hazards related to static equipment.

Maintenance and Inspection Oversee the inspection, testing, and maintenance programs for static equipment to ensure operational integrity. Provide technical guidance on regular maintenance and repairs to ensure the longevity and safe operation of equipment. Lead root cause analysis (RCA) investigations for equipment failures and propose corrective actions.

Project Management and Leadership Manage static engineering projects, from concept through design, installation, and commissioning, ensuring deadlines, budgets, and quality standards are met. Supervise and mentor junior engineers and technical staff, providing guidance on design approaches, technical challenges, and best practices. Review and approve engineering calculations, drawings, and reports produced by other team members.

Stress and Fatigue Analysis Conduct advanced stress and fatigue analyses for static equipment subjected to high pressures, thermal cycles, and mechanical loads. Use finite element analysis (FEA) and other engineering tools to simulate operating conditions and ensure equipment will withstand stress over time. Evaluate the effects of corrosion, wear, and other environmental factors on the structural integrity of equipment.

Technical Documentation and Reporting Prepare and review detailed technical documentation, including design reports, calculations, material specifications, and maintenance procedures. Ensure that all engineering drawings and documents are accurate, complete, and comply with company and regulatory requirements. Support project teams with technical clarifications during construction and commissioning phases. #J-18808-Ljbffr
