Job Description:

Job Summary:

Candidate will act as a senior static mechanical engineer supporting a live gas processing business with responsibility across pressure systems integrity, operations support, maintenance, anomaly management, and brownfield project delivery. The role focuses on safe containment, equipment condition, code compliance, and sound engineering judgment for static equipment throughout its lifecycle. 

Candidate will support piping systems, pressure vessels, tanks, heat exchangers, fired heaters, valves, and other pressure-retaining equipment, and work closely with operations, inspection, maintenance, materials, corrosion, and project teams to keep the plant safe, reliable, inspectable, and maintainable.
 

Job Responsibilities:

• Provide senior static mechanical engineering support on equipment condition, degradation, fitness-for-service concerns, technical risk, and safe operating decisions for pressure systems and static equipment.
• Deliver independent engineering judgment on piping, pressure vessels, tanks, heat exchangers, valves, and other static equipment exposed to corrosion, wall loss, cracking, fatigue, leakage, or other integrity threats.
• Review and assess inspection findings, operating envelope excursions, anomaly reports, and repair options, and define practical recommendations for continued operation, monitoring, repair, replacement, or shutdown intervention.
• Support and govern integrity assessments, including fitness-for-service reviews, remaining life evaluations, critical thickness checks, and pressure system technical justifications where required.
• Translate inspection and integrity data into clear, risk-based engineering actions and ensure findings are converted into executable maintenance, repair, or monitoring plans.
• Support anomaly assessment and tracking by reviewing anomaly status, risk ranking, progress to closure, and the need for escalation or further engineering action.
• Support management of technical change by providing static mechanical discipline input to MoCs, engineering queries, temporary repairs, reroutes, tie-ins, package modifications, and brownfield project scopes.
• Review and challenge design changes, deviations, concessions, materials selection, repair methods, and contractor proposals to ensure compliance with engineering standards and site requirements.
• Ensure proposed modifications and repairs remain technically sound, safe to operate, inspectable in future, maintainable by site teams, and compatible with actual plant conditions.
• Support shutdown and turnaround planning by defining static equipment repair scope, technical basis, inspection follow-up, execution requirements, and risk-based priorities.
• Support failure investigations, leak events, loss-of-containment threats, defect elimination activities, and closure of significant integrity risks.
• Provide technical input to operating procedures, safe operating limits, self-verification follow-up actions, and lessons learned arising from plant events or recurring integrity concerns.
• Support Category C and brownfield project delivery by contributing to technical scopes, engineering deliverables, select/define/execute activities, and construction or commissioning queries within static mechanical scope.
• Review vendor data, fabrication packages, QA/QC records, ITPs, repair dossiers, NDE plans, and contractor deliverables to confirm technical quality and compliance.
• Help maintain and improve integrity systems, engineering workflows, and discipline practices through lessons learned, standardization, and continuous improvement.
• Monitor static mechanical KPIs and use them to strengthen anomaly closure, risk reduction, and pressure systems integrity performance.
• Provide technical coaching and informal leadership to less experienced engineers and support stronger discipline capability across the team.

Job requirements:
This role is available only for egyptian nationals.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
• Significant experience in static mechanical engineering, pressure systems, or mechanical integrity support within oil and gas processing facilities or comparable live operating environments.
• Strong technical knowledge of piping systems, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, fired heaters, valves, and associated pressure-retaining components.
• Good working knowledge of relevant codes, standards, and practices, including ASME VIII, ASME B31.3, API 510, API 570, API 653, and fitness-for-service principles such as API 579.
• Strong understanding of damage mechanisms and integrity threats, including corrosion, erosion, fatigue, cracking, leakage, local metal loss, and loss-of-containment risk.
• Experience in inspection follow-up, anomaly assessment, repair evaluation, technical MoCs, engineering queries, and brownfield modifications in live operating plants.
• Experience reviewing contractor deliverables, repair methods, NDE scope, fabrication records, QA/QC documents, and technical proposals.
• Strong engineering judgment and the ability to translate inspection data, plant observations, and risk information into practical and defensible decisions.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively across inspection, operations, maintenance, process, materials, corrosion, projects, and contractors.
