Job Title: Senior Mechanical Engineer
Reports To: Mechanical Engineering Manager / Project Manager
Experience: Minimum 6 Years (with proven experience in Industrial Projects)
Job Summary
The Senior Mechanical Engineer will be a key technical authority within the mechanical design team. You will be responsible for the conceptualization, detailed design, analysis, and specification of mechanical systems and equipment for large-scale industrial projects. This role requires a deep understanding of mechanical engineering principles, a proven track record in industrial settings, and the ability to guide junior engineers. You will ensure that all designs meet client requirements, industry standards, and regulatory codes.
Key Responsibilities

• System Design & Engineering:
• Lead the design and specification of industrial mechanical systems, including but not limited to: piping systems, pressure vessels, HVAC for industrial environments, material handling systems (conveyors, ASRS), pumps, compressors, and other process machinery.
• Perform engineering calculations, including stress analysis, fluid flow, heat transfer, and pump sizing to validate design integrity.
• Develop and review P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), equipment datasheets, and mechanical layout drawings.
• Select appropriate materials of construction based on process requirements and environmental conditions.
• Project Execution & Management:
• Manage the mechanical engineering scope for assigned project packages, ensuring deliverables are on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.
• Coordinate with other engineering disciplines (Civil, Structural, Electrical, Process) to ensure a fully integrated design.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to Junior and Intermediate Mechanical Engineers.
• Client & Vendor Interaction:
• Interface directly with clients to understand their needs, present design proposals, and address technical queries.
• Lead the technical bid evaluation process, review vendor quotations, and approve subcontractor/subvendor drawings and calculations.
• Quality Assurance & Compliance:
• Ensure all work complies with relevant industry codes and standards (e.g., ASME, ANSI, API, NFPA) and company quality procedures.
• Conduct and/or review Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT).
• Perform site visits to survey existing conditions, support construction, and resolve field issues.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited institution.
• A minimum of 6 years of progressive experience in mechanical design engineering.
• Proven and demonstrable experience working on industrial projects such as manufacturing plants, chemical processing, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, power generation, or heavy industrial facilities.
• Professional Engineer (P.E.) license or eligibility to obtain within one year is strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Plant 3D, SolidWorks, Inventor) and stress analysis software (e.g., CAESAR II).
• Strong working knowledge of ASME B31.3 Process Piping code and pressure vessel codes (ASME Section VIII).

Personal Attributes

• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong leadership and communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Detail-oriented with a commitment to technical excellence.
• Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
