Site Engineer Mechanical

Role & responsibilities

• Piping Fabrication & Erection: Supervise shop and field spool fabrication, fit-up, welding, alignment, and final piping erection based on Piping Isometrics, P&IDs, General Arrangement Drawings (GADs), and 3D plant models.
• Equipment Installation: Lead the rigging, lifting, foundation checking, grouting, levelling, and alignment of static equipment (vessels, columns, heat exchangers, storage tanks) and rotating machinery (pumps, compressors, blowers, agitators).
• Testing & Pre-Commissioning: Plan, organize, and witness hydro-testing, pneumatic testing, flushing, dewatering, and line chemical cleaning; prepare test packages and ensure reinstatement of lines post-testing.
• Contractor & Manpower Management: Supervise mechanical and piping contractors, monitor daily progress against construction schedules, allocate site resources, and resolve on-site constructability clashes.
• Material & Spool Management: Verify incoming piping materials, valves, gaskets, fasteners, and equipment against Material Test Certificates (MTCs), Bills of Quantities (BOQ), and specifications; manage site store reconciliations.
• Interface & Progress Reporting: Coordinate with the engineering office for technical queries (RFIs/site clarifications), redline markup preparation for As-Built drawings, and submit Daily/Weekly Progress Reports (DPR/WPR).
• Safety & Compliance: Enforce site Permit-to-Work (PTW) systems, Job Safety Analyses (JSA), tool-box talks, and OSHA/client HSE protocols across all mechanical and lifting activities.
