Review and validate construction activities for technical accuracy, constructability, and compliance with project specifications, drawings, and applicable codes (e.g., ASME, API, ASTM). Interpret and resolve field issues related to piping layouts, isometrics, supports, tie‑ins, rotating/static equipment installation, and mechanical alignment. Ensure proper execution of hydrotesting, flushing, pressure testing, torqueing, bolting, and mechanical completion activities. Evaluate and respond to RFIs, field change requests, and non‑conformance reports (NCRs), providing technically sound solutions. Decisions may involve financial, safety, environmental, and organizational impacts within the company and externally with clients and subcontractors. Work with self‑initiated interaction with supervisors and provide proactive technical guidance to field teams. Assign broad duties at the beginning of projects in terms of objectives, priorities, and critical interfaces that impact other disciplines (civil, structural, electrical, instrumentation). Review work to ensure policy conformity, safety compliance, and sound engineering practices. Informed guidance is available when required. Assign project work and provide technical oversight to staff engineers or field engineers supporting piping/mechanical scope. May have direct reports and authority for performance evaluations impacting compensation and development. Support pre‑commissioning and commissioning activities, ensuring mechanical systems are installed, tested, and handed over in accordance with project requirements.
