The Lead Mechanical / Piping Commissioning Engineer will report directly to the Overall Commissioning, Start-Up (CSU) Manager and will be responsible for overseeing the commissioning, start-up, and performance testing of mechanical equipment and piping systems. This full-time role will require extensive expertise in mechanical equipment, both static and rotating along with piping systems and a deep understanding of nitrogen-helium leak testing, flange management, piping testing, and related commissioning activities, It will also require exceptional organizational, technical, and leadership skills to ensure successful project completion and handover while managing all aspects of mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, and commissioning activities per industry standards and project objectives.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Project Leadership: Lead the commissioning and start-up activities for mechanical and piping systems, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure smooth project execution.
2. Commissioning Planning: Develop and execute detailed commissioning plans, schedules, and procedures for all mechanical and piping systems, including nitrogen-helium leak testing, pre-commissioning, and start-up activities.
3. Technical Oversight: Provide expert guidance on mechanical equipment and piping processes, such as flange management, piping testing, and system performance testing, ensuring adherence to industry standards and project specifications.
4. Testing and Inspection: Oversee and conduct testing and inspections of piping systems and mechanical equipment to verify integrity and compliance with safety and quality requirements.
5. Documentation: Maintain accurate records and documentation of commissioning activities, including test reports, checklists, punch lists, and as-built drawings.
6. Problem Resolution: Identify and troubleshoot issues related to mechanical and piping systems during the commissioning phase, working closely with engineering and operations teams to implement solutions.
7. Safety and Compliance: Ensure that all commissioning activities comply with health, safety, and environmental regulations, promoting a strong safety culture across the project.
8. Performance Testing: Lead plant performance testing and assist in final handover to the operations team, ensuring all systems meet project performance criteria.
