Static Mechanical Engineer

The 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. This role focuses on maximizing plant reliability, leading execution strategies during major turnarounds, ensuring structural
compliance with international design codes, and mitigating risk across high-pressure, corrosive process loops.

Key Responsibilities
Engineering Design & Modification
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.
Turnaround & Maintenance Support
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.
Asset Integrity & Plant Reliability Support
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. 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
Technical Software & Industrial Codes
Software Competency: Advanced proficiency in PV Elite (pressure vessel design), CAESAR II (piping stress analysis) and Nozzle PRO.
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).
Core Competencies
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.
