Advanced R&D Engineer/Scientist

This role supports projects ranging from small site improvements to large, complex capital investments and serves as a key mechanical and custom equipment engineering authority for both regional and global initiatives. Key Responsibilities * Lead mechanical engineering execution through Pre‑FEED, FEED, detailed design, construction support, and startup/commissioning. * Develop custom equipment design packages, shop drawings, and installation documents for fabrication and construction. * Ownership and management of project execution include scope, schedule, and budget and cost throughout its lifecycle. This includes scoping, design, funding appropriation, contractor coordination, construction management, commissioning and support. * Develop mechanical and custom equipment Scopes of Work (SOWs) and Basis of Design documents, including rotating equipment, static equipment, piping systems, insulation, coatings, and materials of construction. * Apply and maintain Solstice Engineering Standards and support site‑specific standards as required. * Develop mechanical equipment specifications and manage vendor interactions, bid evaluations, and equipment selection, clearly communicating recommendations to project teams. * Provide technical support for equipment repair and reliability issues, ensuring compliance with applicable codes and regulations.

• Lead or participate in mechanical design reviews with project stakeholders.
• Ensure QA/QC requirements are properly developed and met for all mechanical

and piping installations. * Utilize AutoCAD (2D/3D) and Inventor (3D) to support detailed engineering and construction deliverables. * Work closely with designers and CAD resources to ensure accuracy, consistency, and constructability of drawings. * Monitor mechanical engineering quality, schedule, and productivity throughout project execution. * Maintain familiarity with document management and control systems (e.g., Documentum, AM Meridian). * Provide project scoping input to support accurate cost estimates and efficient design solutions. * Manage mechanical discipline budgets and costs, ensuring performance targets are met or exceeded.

• Adhere to all plant health, safety, and environmental (HSE)requirements.
• Collaborate with engineering, maintenance, operations, and materials

management teams to improve safety, reliability, and asset performance. * Conduct factory acceptance tests (FATs) and inspections at vendor and fabricator facilities. * Partner with Maintenance Excellence and other stakeholders on complex or HSE‑critical issues. * Drive value engineering, standardization, and continuous improvement initiatives. * Prepare mechanical and piping estimate packages and construction work order packages. Key Success Factors

• Achieve world‑class safety performance on all assigned projects.
• Communicate effectively across all levels of the organization.
• Successfully manage mechanical and equipment scope, schedule, budget, and

deliverables.

• Demonstrate strong customer focus and responsiveness to stakeholder needs.
• 5–8 years of mechanical and piping engineering experience in a chemical,

petrochemical, or similar industrial environment. * Willingness to travel up to 10%, as required.
