We are searching for a PE experienced in the following disciplines, for expansion of our Power Generation and Cogeneration division:
1. Proven Capabilities in the Production of Plans & Specifications for plants in the range of 1 – 30 MW;
2. Process Design: Steam & HTW, fuel supply systems, chilled water and cooling water systems;
3. Piping Design: Sizing, support, flexibility and stress analysis;
4. Prime Mover & Heat Recovery Equipment Selection;
5. Plant General Arrangement;
6. Economic Modeling; Feasibility and Optimization Studies;
7. Instrumentation & Controls: Control valve & actuation selection, instrumentation selection and specification; development of written sequences of operation;
8. Ancillary Systems Design and Equipment Selection;
9. Start-Up, Commissioning and Troubleshooting Activities.
Individual must have a minimum of 10 years experience, be
detail oriented and possess the ability to see projects through to completion.
Salary and benefits are commensurate with experience. Location of work is in
Additional attributes sought include strong writing skills, with the capability to produce significant reports and studies, perform data analyses, and communicate effectively with equipment vendors, construction contractors, etc. The candidate must have the ability to conceptualize and create small to medium-sized generation plants, including equipment arrangements, piping runs, P&ID's, etc., while working in conjunction with equipment vendors, end users and construction contractors.
Narrative describing typical activities:
Typically, this senior-level mechanical engineer would have some involvement with, perhaps, three projects simultaneously: One in design, one in construction and one in start-up/commissioning.
At least 60-70% of the engineer's time would be focused on
design tasks: Developing general
arrangement plans, process design, equipment selection, piping design, I&C,
detailed piping drawings, etc. He would
be supported by other (junior) engineers, designers and CAD drafters from an
existing pool of personnel. Projects
which are in construction will generally require engineering support from this
individual. This may include site
visits, construction meeting, formally responding to field questions which may
arise, quickly developing "work-arounds" or design modifications to
suit field conditions, etc. The above
activities may comprise 20-30% of the engineer's time. Start-up and commissioning activities may
involve approximately 10% of the engineer's time. This effort may be comprised of field
supervision, developing testing sequences, check lists, documentation packages
and working closely with the commissioning staff, vendor representatives and
operators during the start-up phase. The
projects are generally located in
Most of the engineer's work is related to design tasks. The results of this work effort are plans (drawing packages), specifications and procurement packages related to a specific project. To ultimately produce final construction drawings, the engineer will start with thermal analysis, process design, equipment selection, etc., and then generate detailed sketches or preliminary drawings. These, in turn, are given to designers and CAD drafters who will further their development towards construction drawings. However, the engineer will be responsible for reviewing, correcting, amending, and approving the drawings until the construction set is complete. During this process, he will be communicating and coordinating his design with other engineering disciplines (electrical, structural, etc.) and equipment vendors to insure the final drawing package is complete and constructible. In this regard, the ability of communicate effectively with design and CAD staff, as well as peers in other disciplines is vitally important.
