Job description

Immensa is transforming how the world's largest energy companies address critical spare part challenges. Our solutions help asset-intensive organisations decrease over-stocking, reduce downtime, manage obsolescence, and strengthen supply chain resilience through advanced digital inventory and distributed manufacturing technologies.We partner with some of the world's largest Oil & Gas and industrial companies, supporting mission-critical operations where reliability, quality, and trust are essential.

Role Overview

• We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer - Subject Matter Expert (Static Equipment), reporting to the Head of Project Management. This is an individual contributor role with matrix accountability for assigned project teams and supplier deliverables.To act as the technical subject-matter expert for static equipment - valves, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, columns, tanks, skids and associated piping - across assigned manufacturing projects, interpreting 3D models and 2D engineering drawings to define, plan and drive execution.
• To own the manufacturing project lifecycle for static equipment component scopes, from kick-off through supplier delivery and final inspection, ensuring On-Time-In-Full (OTIF) delivery against customer requirements.
• To be the primary technical and commercial interface between Immensa and its static equipment and fabrication supply base, translating design intent into a manufacturable, code-compliant and quality-assured production route.

Main Responsibilities

• Read, interpret and validate 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings - including GD&T, datums, tolerances, weld symbols and joint details, corrosion allowance, material and NDT callouts - for pressure-retaining and fabricated static equipment.
• Select and justify the optimum manufacturing route (plate cutting and rolling, forming and pressing, shell and head fabrication, nozzle and flange preparation, tube-to-tubesheet welding and expansion, cladding and weld overlay, machining of sealing faces, post-weld heat treatment) and material of construction for the service conditions.
• Address fabrication specifics - weld procedure and welder qualification (WPS/PQR/WPQ), welding sequence and distortion control, fit-up and alignment tolerances, out-of-roundness, PWHT cycles and pressure-test requirements.
• Develop and manage project schedules, milestones and deliverables for assigned static equipment orders, tracking live status against OTIF targets.
• Drive supplier execution - issue technical data packages, review fabrication and welding process plans, weld maps and manufacturing record books, and close out technical queries.
• Lead design and process reviews; identify barriers early and apply sound engineering judgement to provide practical solutions.
• Own risk identification and mitigation across technical feasibility, quality, cost and delivery; maintain project risk and lessons-learned registers.
• Manage stakeholders across sales, DFAM/design, quality, production and the customer, providing clear status reporting and timely escalation.
• Review inspection and test data (dimensional, radiography, UT, MPI/DPI, PMI and hardness, hydrostatic and pneumatic test records, material certificates) and disposition non-conformances with the responsible design engineer.
• Support Quality in preparing Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), coordinate third-party and authorised-inspector involvement, and ensure supplier compliance to ASME, API, ASTM and customer specifications.
• Support estimation and tendering by defining the manufacturing journey, fabrication, welding, NDT and testing costing inputs and realistic lead times for static equipment scopes.
• Coordinate reverse-engineering and spare-parts projects for legacy static equipment and internals, justifying OEM design and material adaptations where required to achieve manufacturability and code compliance.

Scope of Authority

Works closely with sales, DFAM/design, quality, production and external suppliers. Authorised to direct supplier technical execution and disposition assigned project deliverables within the project management framework.

• AccountabilitiesStrict adherence to the Company's Policies & Procedures.
• Operate strictly within the Company ISO framework.
• Delivery of assigned projects to OTIF, quality and cost targets as per set KPIs.

Qualifications and Skills Required

• Degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing or Welding Engineering (minimum Bachelor's).
• Minimum 5-6 years' experience in static equipment fabrication within oil & gas, energy or heavy engineering, ideally gained with a pressure-vessel or heat-exchanger fabricator.
• Deep subject-matter expertise in the design intent and fabrication of pressure vessels, shell-and-tube and air-cooled heat exchangers, columns, storage tanks and piping - including welding processes, weldability of carbon, low-alloy, stainless and clad materials, heat treatment and associated NDT methods.
• Proven ability to read and interpret 3D models and 2D engineering drawings, including full GD&T and welding callouts.
• Strong familiarity with ASME VIII Div. 1 and Div. 2, ASME IX and B31.3, TEMA, API (including 650, 660, 661 and 510), ASTM and equivalent standards for materials and applications.
• Welding or inspection certification (CSWIP, AWS CWI, IWE/IWT or equivalent) is an advantage.
• Demonstrated project-management capability - planning, scheduling, risk mitigation and stakeholder management.
• Excellent communicator; tailors technical messaging to internal teams, external customers and suppliers.
• Knowledgeable in reverse engineering, spare-parts production, inspection and testing.
• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy under pressure, with a strong sense of urgency and ownership.
• Self-motivated team player, effective both independently and across multiple locations and time zones.
