Job Summary
Seeking an experienced Engineering Technical Leader to lead and mentor our engineering team in designing, reviewing, and delivering complex piping and mechanical systems. The successful candidate will serve as a technical authority, ensuring all deliverables—including 3D piping models, isometric drawings, vessel fabrication drawings, and engineered duct drawings—meet ASME B31.3/B31.1 codes, international standards (API, GOST, BS), and client specifications. You will direct Layout and Piping Engineers, review and validate designs against 3D models, coordinate cross-functional activities with Project Engineering, Mechanical Design, and E&I teams across multiple regions, and troubleshoot complex design and field-related challenges. This role requires strong expertise in piping design, stress analysis, CAD/3D modeling software (Plant 3D, Aveva E3D, AutoCAD), and knowledge of relevant piping standards (ASME B36.10M, B16.9, B16.5, MSS SP-58, API 617/618/612). You will act as a technical coach, fostering professional development, establishing technical excellence, facilitating stakeholder communication, and providing solutions for manufacturing and site execution issues through root cause analysis and preventive measures.
