Mechanical Design & Application Engineer Diesel Generator

Role & responsibilities

1. Design & Engineering

• Select and configure diesel engines, alternators, control panels, and switchgear to

meet site-specific project requirements.

• Design cooling, ventilation system, electrical systems, exhaust, fuel, and acoustic

systems for high reliability and low environmental impact.

• Proficient in Noise, ventilation and structural calculations.
• Develop detailed 2D/3D CAD Product Designs and generator set installation

layouts, wiring diagrams, and mechanical schematics for genset, site installation

and integration.

• Evaluate site-specific conditions (climate, altitude, space, seismic zone) for optimal

genset application.

• Implement noise, vibration, and emissions control solutions in compliance with

local rules of site of Installation.

• Understanding of requirements as per local norms.
• Knowledge of electro-mechanical protection systems.

2. Tender & Documentation

• Review and interpret tender technical specifications to prepare compliant technical

submissions.

• Prepare Bill of Quantity (BoQ) for genset supply, accessories, control systems, and

installation materials.

• Ensure all proposed equipment meets client specifications and international

standards.

• Support proposal teams with technical clarifications during tender stages.

3. Compliance & Standards

• Ensure design compliance with:
• Local Emission norms in the country of installation
• NFPA 110 (Emergency and Standby Power Systems)
• ISO 8528 (Reciprocating internal combustion engine-driven alternating

current generating sets)

• BS 5514 / ISO 3046 (Engine performance standards)
• IEC 60034 (Rotating electrical machines)
• IEEE 446 (Emergency and Standby Power)
• Uptime Institute Tier Standards
• Maintain knowledge of global genset standards for multi-country project delivery.
