1. Scope of Responsibilities
Lead and operate as a part of a team of engineers and designers in carrying out detailed engineering work; assume responsibility for conceptual and detailed design (Concept, Front End or Basic, Material, Stress Analysis, Layout Engineering, Coordination of 3D modeling) and provide necessary technical information for procurement in compliance with tender specifications/data sheets and work within budgeted manhours and project schedules.
2. Primary Duties
- Review contract documents and identify requirements and scope of work for project execution. Review specifications, drawings and other documents. Establish contract review criteria, identify and resolve discrepancies and divergences from original proposal through the instigation of technical queries to Projects/Client.
- Identify critical engineering parameters and establish deliverables e.g. specifications, datasheets, layout drawings, stress analysis, isometrics, bill of materials and other applicable deliverables.
- Monitor and control project manhour requirements during project execution, identify variations between contract and proposal. Take corrective action as necessary. Create manpower charts for task assignments, establish target completion dates, ensure target dates are achieved. Maintain project schedules and ensure allotted manhours, deadlines and cost requirements are strictly adhered to. Recommend cost effective measures to reduce overall costs.
- Monitor productivity of engineers and quality of work produced.
- Apportion work among engineering staff according to the capabilities. Supervise the work and ensure that the documents are updated regularly as needed. Resolve design irregularities.
- Coordinate on technical issues with other Engineering Disciplines as required. Provide the necessary inputs/data to other disciplines as per the requirements and procedures.
- Supervise the preparation of conceptual/study layouts and designs and provide necessary inputs for modeling and drafting.
- Obtain the required inputs from other engineering disciplines e.g. mechanical data sheets, foundation and structure details, instrument specifications and other necessary data.
- Provide guidance for performing calculations for pipe wall thickness, reinforcement pads and others as per the relevant piping codes and standards.
- Supervise the stress analysis of piping systems through the use of Caesar II software and preparation of stress analysis reports, incorporating contract specifications and international codes. Resolve design irregularities. Monitor the transfer of piping loads to Civil Discipline, coordinate on technical issues as required.
- Monitor the preparation and issue of engineering drawings and technical documents for Inter-disciplinary Design Checks (IDC’s). Review and integrate comments and inputs of other engineering discipline into the relevant documents.
- Supervise the preparation and issue of Inquiry Requisitions to vendors. Participate in technical bid evaluations. Review vendor drawings, documents and design calculations. Ensure vendor equipment specifications meet with client equipment specifications and within budgeted costs.
- Coordinate Material Take-off (MTO) activities, identify irregularities, discrepancies and shortfalls, take corrective action as required.
- Oversee the set-up of the Material Management system (VPRM) incorporating the project specifications. Coordinate and incorporate the MTO from the 3D model. Update and maintain the system to incorporate the latest material requirements.
- Administer the preparation and issue of Purchase Requisitions for the procurement of equipment and materials. Coordinate with Procurement and provide necessary assistance to Expediting and Quality Departments.
- Meet with vendor representatives, inspect vendor works and workshops and provide assistance to Quality Department as required.
- Interface with Client representatives as required for resolving any technical issues.
- Conduct internal staff meetings, ensure the progress of project in accordance to
- schedule, allotted manhours and budgeted costs. Coordinate with Projects and Planning Departments on schedule related issues. Update TDR progress reports through the use of PETROCEPT software.
- Participate in safety and design review meetings e.g. HAZOP, HAZID, Plot Plan, 3D Model, along with Client and representatives of other engineering disciplines.
- Monitor the preparation of all necessary documents upto the final IFC (Issued for Construction) stage, e.g. plot plans, piping plans, isometrics, locations plans, pipe support standards, material specifications and other relevant drawings and specifications.
- Supervise the set-up of the 3D CAD system (PDS/PDMS) incorporating the project specifications. Customise the system to deliver the model, drawings and data as per the project requirements.
- Interface and provide clarifications, guidance and technical support to Construction and Commissioning teams as required.
- Administer the preparation of the final “As Built” 3D model, layouts and other documents.
- Ensure compliance with Company’s ISO Quality procedures. Coordinate internal and Client audit requests, facilitate audit procedures of engineering systems within the discipline.
- Evaluate the requirement of resources including computer hardware and software.
- Undertake responsibility of development of engineers.
- Provides support and assistance to the direct supervisor on technical and non-technical issues.
- Perform related duties as and when directed by the direct supervisor.
3. Job/Cost Impact
Acts as the main interface in converting the project from concept to detailed engineering. Works within Project Budget requirements. Oversees the technical evaluations and verification, acts as a tie-in between the various disciplines for engineering inputs for the department. Coordinates and assigns work as per project specifications. Work is normally reviewed by supervisor.
4. Decision Making Authority
Decisions limited to the scope of project requirement specifications, consults supervisor on main issues related to layouts and specifications. May make recommendations on mobilization/demobilization of personnel.
