  • Coordinate and provide engineering support for construction activities, including the assurance that engineering details required for construction are provided.
  • Review and approve modifications (projects) as-built documents.
• Design and Engineering
  • Manage Pre-FEED, FEED studies, and detailed design of HVAC systems for onshore/offshore marine, oil & gas greenfield/brownfield facilities, as per design basis, project specifications and standards.
  • Create engineering deliverables such as HVAC calculations, P&IDs, D&IDs, HVAC equipment specifications, Data Sheets, Operation Sequence Philosophy, SDRLs, MRs, etc.
  • Review building services documentation throughout the design process and contribute to content and direction. Estimate costs for heating and cooling systems with detailed budget estimates.
  • Prepare/compile material take-off based on drawings, datasheets, basic design, standards, etc. for retrofit HVAC jobs (package units, central split units air cooled/water cooled chillers, FCUs, AHUs).
  • Perform equipment selection based on design/requirements, quantity take-off, bill of quantities and documentation.
  • Conduct heat load, head loss, and external static pressure calculations per ASHRAE; design ducts using Equal Friction or Static Regain methods per SMACNA; design pipes and perform pump head/head loss calculations.
  • Examine specifications, plans and materials of HVAC installations and verify compliance with SAES, SAEP, ASHRAE, SMACNA. Coordinate with Process, Maintenance, Inspection, Production, Safety and Environment to ensure designs meet objectives.
  • Prepare detailed specifications, data sheets and tender documents. Prepare equipment purchase requisitions per codes and company specs. Conduct technical evaluations of quotations and assist the buyer. Review drawings, documents, and inspection & test procedures from suppliers. Ensure accuracy and completeness of engineering documents with facility and inter-connecting details. Prepare studies, design sketches and drawings based on modification requests, design calculations, field measurements, codes and standards.
  • Provide technical support for construction during construction phase for modifications; follow up commissioning and start-up activities. Perform calculations as required and assist in inspection during testing and evaluate test results of equipment. Manage administrative tasks and report deviations to the project management team. Execute project close-out activities and capture lessons learned.
• Health, Safety, Security, Environment and Quality
