Static Mechanical Engineer M/F Jobs in Musay‘īd, Qatar at SPIEgroup
We currently have an opportunity within SPIE Global Services Energy Qatar for a
Static Mechanical Engineer
The Static Mechanical Engineer is responsible for providing high-level technical expertise,design validation, asset integrity management, and engineering support for all static (stationary) equipment and piping systems within the manufacturing facility. This role focuses on maximizingplant reliability, leading execution strategies during major turnarounds, ensuring structural compliance with international design codes, and mitigating risk across high-pressure, corrosiveprocess loops.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and approve design calculations, data sheets, drawings, and technical specifications for modifications or new procurement of pressure vessels, heat exchangers,and tanks.
- Generate and review Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Piping Material Specifications (PMS), and Material Take-Offs (MTOs) to meet international standards (e.g.,ASME, ANSI, API). Develop and review plot plans, equipment layouts and 3D models.
Route critical process, utility, and offsite pipelines.
- Stress Analysis:
Perform piping flexibility and stress analysis to ensure systems canwithstand high pressures, extreme temperatures, and vibrations. - Execute plant modifications via the formal Management of Change (MOC) protocol,ensuring no compromise to process safety or plant design basis.
- Prepare and approve technical deliverables for replacement projects, including scope ofwork, technical bid evaluations (TBE), and vendor drawing reviews.
Turnaround & Maintenance Support
Define the technical scope for critical static equipment during scheduled plant shutdowns,turnarounds, and outages.
Develop inspection and repair procedures for specialized high-pressure equipment,including shell-and-tube heat exchangers, reformer tubes, and atmospheric storage tanks.
Supervise critical repair activities on-site, ensuring field welding, post-weld heat treatment(PWHT), and non-destructive testing (NDT) comply with structural codes.
Asset Integrity & Plant Reliability Support
Support Fitness-for-Service (FFS) evaluations and remaining-life assessments for older ordegraded stationary equipment
Support root cause analysis (RCA) on mechanical static equipment failures, structuralleaks, and chronic piping vibrating issues to implement definitive corrective actions.
Profile
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from a recognized, accredited university
Minimum 5 years of post-graduate experience in mechanical engineering within a heavycontinuous-process chemical plant, petrochemical facility, or refinery environment.
Experience in the fertilizer industry (specifically Ammonia, Urea, or Nitrates manufacturingunits) is strongly preferred.
Proven track record of managing massive capital equipment replacement projects and participating in large-scale plant turnarounds.
Language:
Must possess excellent fluent English communication skills (both written andverbal) to draft technical engineering reports, lead meetings, and coordinate with international vendors
Technical Software & Industrial Codes
Software
Competency:
Advanced proficiency in PV Elite (pressure vessel design), CAESARII (piping stress analysis) and NozzlePRO.
