Project Engineer

Responsibilities:

Project Development & Engineering Leadership:

• Lead the front-end engineering design (FEED), detailed engineering, and technical specification development of gas infrastructure projects.
• Evaluate and optimize technology options for compression, gas storage, transport logistics, and decompression systems.
• Ensure that all engineering designs are fit-for-purpose, scalable, and aligned with project business cases.

Owner’s Engineering Oversight:

• Serve as the technical custodian of the project, ensuring that the EPC contractor’s engineering deliverables meet contractual, regulatory, and performance requirements.
• Conduct rigorous technical reviews and provide approval for key design documents (e.g., PFDs, P&IDs, layout drawings, HAZOP reports).
• Manage technical interfaces between project stakeholders – including OEMs, transport operators, and utilities.

Project Implementation

• Support project execution by providing real-time engineering advice during procurement, fabrication, construction, commissioning, and start-up phases.
• Ensure integration of safety, operability, and maintainability in design and implementation.
• Coordinate Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), and performance validation processes.
  

Regulatory and Compliance Assurance

• Ensure engineering designs and construction activities comply with all applicable industry codes, standards, and regulatory requirements (e.g., DPR/NUPRC, NSI, ASME, API).
• Liaise with regulatory authorities to secure necessary approvals and permits.

Operational Readiness & Handover

• Lead the development of operating manuals, maintenance strategies, and training programs for plant operations teams.
• Coordinate system integration and performance testing to ensure facilities are ready for commercial operation
• Provide technical support during the early operations phase and troubleshoot initial 1 performance challenges.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, or Petroleum Engineering (Master’s degree preferred).
• Minimum of 7 years of experience in gas infrastructure project engineering, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead engineering role.
• Proven experience with virtual pipeline systems (CNG or LNG), gas compression, transportation, and decompression facilities.
• Strong understanding of engineering standards (e.g., ASME, API, NFPA, ISO).
• Demonstrated ability to lead multi-disciplinary engineering teams and interface with contractors and regulators.
• Professional Engineering License or certification (e.g., COREN, PMP, PE) is an advantage.

Key Competencies:

• Deep technical expertise in gas systems engineering.
• Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical abilities.
• Project planning and execution capability.
• High standards of integrity, safety, and operational discipline.
• Strong communication and report-writing skills.

Performance Indicators:

• Timely completion of engineering deliverables.
• Compliance with project specifications and regulatory requirements.
• Successful commissioning and operational startup.
• Minimization of design errors or reworks.
• Stakeholder satisfaction (internal and external).
