Key Responsibilities
- To lead and be responsible for the Rotating Equipment engineering input into the design, procurement, fabrication, installation and commissioning of the offshore facilities design of Redevelopment Projects with focus on the successful execution of the project on time, within budget and in accordance with the agreed project requirements, specifications and standards
- 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 the engineering manager, other discipline Heads and relevant client stakeholders
- Be the project's technical expert (TA-2) in the rotating equipment discipline and 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 (TA1), essentially department Assistant Managers, for their review and approval of deviations to DEM-1 requirements
- Responsible for providing enough information and technical justification to the engineering manager for any technical deviation. For his final decision, the Engineering Manager will have the delegated TA0 authority for final approval of any technical deviation
- Responsible for thoroughly investigating any proposed technical deviation and ensuring 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 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 follow 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, 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 contractor's design efforts accordingly, considering safety, start-up, cost and constructability impacts
- Establish professional work relationships with EPIC contractor, represent the client’s 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 the Engineering Manager any critical resourcing issues
- Participate in Project Assurance reviews and Audits, and ensure findings are effectively closed out
- Provide technical guidance and prepare the rotating engineering-specific elements for the EPIC tender, procurement activities, technical bid evaluation, and technical queries raised by contractors
- Participate in the technical bid evaluation and provide necessary guidance in selecting the EPIC contractors
- Lead the selection of suitable technology, equipment, field devices, and other rotating-specific systems as per design; evaluate options and select the best techno-economic solutions for project facilities
- Endorse the Rotating design calculation reports, system studies, design philosophies, software model input and output, drawings, databases, specifications and vendor data
- Provide technical guidance during engineering stages of the project and monitor the implementation of QA/QC processes, to achieve deliverables and facilities that meet project requirements
- Provide guidance and support to conduct safety and design reviews in coordination with other disciplines. Heads and Rotating Engineers
- Supervise team members and support their development by ensuring that they receive proper job training and development
Requirements
- BSc degree or Higher in Mechanical Engineering from a recognised university; a higher degree would be advantageous
- Membership in a relevant recognised professional engineering association/institution is preferable
- A minimum of 15 years’ experience in Rotating engineering design in the Oil & gas industry with an Oil & Gas Company or Contractor/Consultant, of which at least 10 years should have been in offshore Oil & Gas processing projects
- Of the 15 years of experience, a minimum of 8 years should have been as a senior Rotating Engineer in a major project and a minimum of 7 years as Lead Discipline in the design of major projects in a reputable engineering consultant, EPIC contractors, or Oil & gas company
- Fully familiar with Shell DEP's and other international design codes and standards
- Fully familiar with Mechanical Engineering software and design review
- Familiar with all types of EPIC deliverables, equipment, design, and construction progress reviews
- Proven ability to manage respective discipline engineering team in a major project environment
- Fundamental knowledge to the level of "proficient" or preferably the level of " mastery" in the respective discipline of engineering, with added strength in the other disciplines to the level of "developed"
- Strong technical, planning, communication, reporting, and leadership skills
