Manager Technology CPP & Utilities

Interested candidates, kindly mail to [HIDDEN TEXT]

Role Purpose

Provides technical leadership for CPP and utilities section during Pre-FEED, BDEP, and FEED phases of the Syngas-to-SNG project.

Develops site-wide power and steam balance; leads technology selection, TBE, and equipment evaluation; ensures technical integrity of CPP and utility deliverables. Manages and coordinates with the technologists.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technology selection and evaluation for the CPP — FBC/CFBC boilers, back-pressure and condensing steam turbines, HRSGs, cooling systems, and associated balance-of-plant; establish selection criteria covering thermal efficiency, reliability, fuel flexibility, and environmental compliance
• Develop and maintain site-wide utility balance — steam (HP/MP/LP), power, cooling water, fuel gas, compressed air, and nitrogen; match utility supply and demand across normal operation, start-up, turndown, and emergency scenarios.
• Lead power and steam balance optimisation; evaluate waste heat recovery opportunities from syngas cooling and methanation for steam generation; drive efficiency improvements at the CPP–process interface
• Coordinate and manage discipline Technologists; assign work, review outputs, and ensure technical consistency across disciplines
• Review licensor technology proposals, process descriptions, and datasheets; challenge technical claims and assess performance guarantees
• Lead preparation of Technical Bid Evaluations (TBE) for boilers, steam turbines, HRSGs, cooling towers, compressors, and other major utility packages; drive licensor selection recommendations
• Review Pre-FEED deliverables (process basis, heat & mass balances, technology selection reports)
• Lead PFD and P&ID review; ensure completeness, technical accuracy, and operability
• Lead and coordinate HAZID and HAZOP; ensure all actions are documented and closed
• Review and approve BDEP and FEED deliverables for CPP and utilities section
• Review and approve equipment specifications, process design basis, and vendor data for CPP and utility equipment — boilers, turbines, cooling systems, compressed air, and nitrogen generation
• Identify long lead equipment; provide technical inputs for equipment specifications and procurement strategy
• Coordinate with electrical and instrumentation disciplines on power distribution, switchgear sizing, and control philosophy for the CPP
• Interface with Configuration Optimization team to ensure alignment of technology inputs with overall project configuration
• Maintain awareness of utility technology developments including combustion advances, waste heat recovery, and emission reduction options; contribute technology benchmarking insights for power and steam systems.

Key Skills & Competencies

• Deep technical knowledge of captive power plant design — FBC/CFBC boilers, back-pressure and extraction-condensing steam turbines, HRSGs, cooling towers, compressed air systems, and nitrogen generation; understanding of fuel flexibility and cofiring options
• Ability to develop and optimise site-wide utility balance — steam, power, cooling — across all operating scenarios; experience in heat rate analysis and CPP efficiency improvement
• Proven experience in technology evaluation, TBE preparation, and licensor/vendor selection for process technology packages
• Process design review expertise — PFDs, P&IDs, heat & mass balances, and equipment datasheets
• Strong technical leadership and team management; experience coordinating multi-discipline technical teams
• Experience in HAZID/HAZOP facilitation
• Proficiency in power cycle simulation tools (Thermoflow, GT PRO, PEPSE, or equivalent); familiarity with process simulation for utility integration (Aspen HYSYS or equivalent)
• Knowledge of BDEP and FEED deliverable requirements; understanding of project lifecycle for major capital projects
• Strong communication and stakeholder management; ability to present technical recommendations to senior management
• Familiarity with IBR (Indian Boiler Regulations), ASME BPVC, API standards, and applicable environmental and stack emission norms for CPP and combustion systems.

Qualifications & Experience

• B.E./B.Tech in Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering
• 15–20 years (Grade F) / 10–15 years (Grade G) in Power plant, steam generation and utility sections with minimum 5 years in technical lead role
• Experience in Pre-FEED, BDEP, and FEED phases for power plant and utility systems design; exposure to site utility balance development and CPP–process integration preferred.
