Job description

SpecialismProject Management / Operations / Strategy

The Project Delivery Engineer oversees the technical execution of major capital projects, ensuring that mechanical systems meet design specifications, safety standards, and operational requirements. This includes leading engineering reviews, providing procurement support, and managing construction oversight for rotating equipment, pressure vessels, and piping systems—applying API, ASME, and ISO standards throughout the project lifecycle. The role involves solving complex technical challenges, such as selecting materials for sour service or conducting vibration analysis for compressor installations, while working with cross-functional teams to maintain schedules and budgets. Whether supervising FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) or resolving commissioning issues, the engineer ensures design intent is successfully translated into field implementation for upstream, midstream, or downstream facilities. Serving as the technical authority for mechanical systems, the Project Delivery Engineer validates contractor deliverables and ensures compliance with project-specific requirements. The position requires expertise in reliability-centered maintenance, root cause analysis, and operational risk assessment for hydrocarbon processing equipment. The engineer develops commissioning procedures, oversees mechanical completion, and prepares handover documentation for operations teams. Combining engineering rigor with project execution efficiency, the Project Delivery Engineer plays a key role in achieving mechanical integrity while meeting aggressive project delivery timelines.
