Mechanical & Piping Project Engineer

• You will work within an operational industrial site on multidisciplinary CAPEX projects related to production, infrastructure, and R&D.
• You will be the technical right-hand of the Project Manager and form the link between the various engineering disciplines, suppliers, contractors, and the operational organization.
• Your Mechanical & Piping expertise forms your technical basis, but you always look at the complete project.
• Specifically:
• You monitor the technical scope, design philosophy, and project requirements.
• You coordinate and integrate engineering across different disciplines: Mechanical & Piping, Process, E&I, Automation, Civil, Safety, and Infrastructure.
• You evaluate and challenge technical designs, with attention to safety, reliability, maintainability, constructability, and costs.
• You monitor M&P concepts, layouts, P&IDs, equipment specifications, piping routes, and isometric drawings.
• You technically guide EPCm partners, suppliers, and contractors and follow up on their deliverables.
• You identify technical risks and assess the impact of changes on scope, timing, budget, and execution.
• You remain involved from concept and engineering to construction, commissioning, and handover.
• You support technical specifications, tenders, and supplier selections.
• For Mechanical & Piping, you also follow up on fabrication, inspections, FAT, installation, SAT, and punch lists where relevant.
• You ensure clear technical decisions, documentation, and reporting to stakeholders.
• You share your knowledge with other engineers and contribute to standards and lessons learned.
