Due to continued growth within their Power Generation division, they are looking to hire an experienced Design Manager / Project Engineer to take a technical lead across a variety of complex generation projects.
This is an opportunity to join an established engineering team working across new-build power plants, plant upgrades and retrofits, natural gas generation, combined cycle, simple cycle and broader energy infrastructure projects.
The Role
You will work across multidisciplinary project teams and have the opportunity to lead and mentor junior engineers and designers while continuing to develop your own project leadership capabilities.
Key responsibilities will include:
Lead mechanical engineering design across major power generation projects
Develop projects from conceptual design through detailed engineering
Determine technical approaches and validate design criteria
Develop and review PFDs and P&IDs
Perform equipment and piping sizing, system calculations and hydraulic analysis
Support mass and energy balances and process system design
Prepare and review technical specifications and engineering documentation
Coordinate with electrical, structural, civil and I&C engineering teams
Lead and mentor junior engineers and 2D/3D designers
Work directly with clients as a technical point of contact
Support engineering studies, cost estimates and technical reports
Work alongside construction teams to address constructability, field conditions and project sequencing
Conduct occasional site visits for data collection, observations and project support
What We Are Looking For
10+ years of mechanical engineering experience
Strong experience within power generation
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline
Strong understanding of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics and heat transfer
Experience designing mechanical, piping and process systems
Knowledge of relevant engineering codes and industry standards
Ability to independently lead technical engineering work and mentor junior team members
PE license
Experience across one or more of the following would be particularly valuable:
Combined-cycle power plants
Simple-cycle power plants
Reciprocating engine generation
Combined Heat & Power (CHP)
Plant upgrades and retrofits
Steam, gas and liquid process systems
Pipe stress analysis
Hydraulic modelling
Thermoflow Suite
CAESAR II
