Key Responsibilities

• Manage the Mechanical & Piping (M&P) scope as part of the integrated Owner's Representative team, providing technical and field oversight across the full EPC lifecycle from engineering through procurement, construction, and commissioning.

• Coordinate and review engineering deliverables, detailed equipment specifications, isometric drawings, and vendor data packages.
• Support critical procurement activities, including technical bid evaluations (TBEs) and vendor document qualification.
• Supervise site mechanical equipment installations (static and rotating) and piping fabrication/welding, conducting rigorous QA/QC inspections.
• Oversee pressure testing, hydrotesting, flushing, chemical cleaning, and pre-commissioning activities for equipment and piping networks.
• Track progress, report on package quality, cost, and schedule, and enforce contractor recovery plans if deviations occur.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related technical field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in mechanical and piping design, procurement, and construction supervision, with a strong track record in brownfield and greenfield developments within Food & Beverage, or Chemical industries.
• Solid understanding of the full EPC project lifecycle, including hands-on experience in constructability reviews.
• Strong practical knowledge of QA/QC practices, welding qualifications (WPS/PQR), non-destructive testing (NDT), and industrial piping codes (ASME/API).
• Experience with 3D model review tools (e.g., Navisworks or equivalent) is highly desirable.
• Proficient in Microsoft Project, AutoCAD, and standard engineering tools.
• Experience working with multinational clients or EPCM firms is desirable.
• Proficient in English and Thai.
