  • Support site execution with practical, constructible engineering solutions.
  • Ensure technical alignment with contract requirements and design intent.

4. Testing, Commissioning & Start-Up (High Emphasis)

  • Support or lead process-related T&C activities, including:
  • System walkdowns
  • Pre-commissioning checks
  • Performance testing support
  • Assist in troubleshooting during start-up and early operations.
  • Ensure systems are handed over in accordance with design specifications and operational readiness.

5. Interface & Stakeholder Management

  • Manage technical interfaces with:
  • EPC contractors and OEMs
  • Engineering consultants
  • Regulatory authorities (as required)
  • Support technical discussions with regulators and technical advisors when needed.
  • Participate in HAZOP / HAZID and other safety or design review workshops when applicable.

6. Team Leadership & Coordination

  • Provide technical guidance and supervision to junior engineers.
  • Coordinate engineering inputs across multiple concurrent regional projects.
  • Contribute to internal engineering standards, templates, and best practices.

Qualifications & Experience

Mandatory

  • Bachelor’s degree in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering.
  • Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in:
  • Process engineering
  • Thermal or steam-based industrial plants
  • Strong competency in:
