• Coordinate mechanical engineering activities with project management, procurement, construction, QA/QC, commissioning and other engineering disciplines.
• Ensure mechanical systems and equipment are designed and installed in accordance with project specifications, applicable codes, standards and client requirements.
• Develop and monitor mechanical engineering work scopes, deliverables, schedules, manpower and resource requirements.
• Review vendor drawings, technical datasheets, equipment specifications and documentation for mechanical equipment.
• Support procurement activities through technical bid evaluations, vendor selection, technical clarifications and purchase order reviews.
• Supervise and provide technical support for installation of static equipment, rotating equipment, piping systems, pressure vessels, tanks, pumps, compressors, heat exchangers and mechanical packages.
• Monitor contractors and subcontractors to ensure mechanical works are executed in accordance with approved drawings, method statements, ITPs and project schedules.
• Coordinate mechanical inspections, pressure testing, equipment alignment, pre-commissioning and commissioning activities.
• Troubleshoot mechanical engineering and construction issues and develop practical technical solutions.
• Review and respond to technical queries, RFIs, design changes, deviations and field modifications.
• Monitor project progress and ensure mechanical engineering deliverables are completed within approved cost, schedule and quality requirements.
• Participate in design reviews, constructability reviews, HAZOP/HAZID and other technical review meetings where applicable.
• Coordinate with QA/QC teams to ensure inspection, testing, material certification and documentation requirements are met.
• Review mechanical punch-list items and coordinate their close-out before mechanical completion and handover.
• Ensure equipment installation, testing and commissioning activities are properly documented and recorded.
• Prepare technical reports, progress updates, engineering status reports and project documentation.
• Support development of commissioning procedures, operating manuals, as-built drawings and final project dossiers.
• Ensure all mechanical project activities comply with company HSE requirements, permit-to-work procedures and applicable safety standards.
