EngineeringMechanical Engineer

This role provides technical mechanical engineering support to refinery assets, serving as a key point of contact for equipment reliability and mechanical integrity needs. You will troubleshoot emerging equipment issues, develop repair solutions, and work closely with maintenance, operations, and engineering teams. The position covers critical refinery equipment including piping, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers, with a strong focus on safe and reliable performance. You will apply recognized engineering codes, corrosion and failure knowledge, and reliability principles to practical equipment challenges. The role also offers exposure to maintenance planning, outages, turnarounds, inspection, and integrity management. Working in a collaborative technical environment, you will contribute to safe, lower-emission energy operations while continuing to develop your engineering expertise.

Technical Support: Act as the primary mechanical engineering contact for assigned refinery assets, providing technical support for equipment reliability, mechanical integrity, maintenance, and operational needs.
Equipment Troubleshooting: Investigate emerging equipment issues and support maintenance and operations teams with practical troubleshooting and engineering solutions.
Repair Engineering: Design permanent and temporary repair solutions for piping, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and other mechanical equipment in accordance with applicable industry standards and codes.
Engineering Standards: Apply relevant ASME and API standards to equipment design, repair, integrity assessments, and specifications.
Corrosion and Failure Analysis: Use knowledge of corrosion damage mechanisms and failure modes to develop reliable and technically appropriate equipment solutions.
Reliability Engineering: Apply reliability principles when assessing equipment condition and making recommendations regarding repairs and ongoing asset performance.
Engineering Deliverables: Support piping and pressure vessel design, fitness-for-service assessments, field engineering activities, and other mechanical engineering deliverables.
Maintenance Support: Assist asset maintenance teams in maintaining accurate preventive maintenance plans and effective equipment sparing strategies.
Asset Health: Develop a strong understanding of refinery equipment and processes to support appropriate monitoring and assessment of unit health.
Safety and Change Management: Support personal and process safety initiatives, including Management of Change activities, while consistently upholding a strong safety culture.
Outages and Turnarounds: Provide mechanical engineering and integrity input for planned asset outages and turnaround activities.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with maintenance, operations, inspection, and other engineering disciplines to address asset reliability and integrity challenges.
Continuous Improvement: Contribute to effective technical practices and improved equipment reliability through sound engineering judgment and data-informed decision-making.
