safety standards, efficiency metrics, and regulatory compliance.
Key Responsibilities
Design & Engineering: Develop detailed designs, specifications, and data sheets for
static equipment including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and
columns.
Calculations & Analysis: Perform engineering calculations and simulations (e.g., stress
analysis, MAWP, MSOT) to determine optimal materials, dimensions, and operational
parameters for equipment using software like PV Elite or COMPRESS.
Standards & Compliance: Ensure all designs comply with applicable international codes
and standards (e.g., ASME Sec VIII, API 510/572/650, TEMA, PD5500, IBR).
Documentation & Review: Create and review detailed engineering drawings (GA and
fabrication drawings), technical reports, material requisitions (MR/RFQ), and
manufacturing data reports (MDR).

recognized university.
Experience: A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in static equipment design
within the Petrochemical, energy, or EPCC industries.

Required Skills & Knowledge
Technical Software Proficiency:
Pressure vessel design software (PV Elite, COMPRESS)
CAD software (AutoCAD)
Analysis software (FEA tools like ANSYS is a plus)
Code Knowledge: Strong working knowledge of industry codes and standards like ASME
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes (Section VIII Div 1 & 2), API standards (510, 650, 620),
and TEMA.
Soft Skills:
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively in a team environment
