Process equipment packages comprise components that collectively achieve a specified function within a process system (e.g., water purification, sea-water injection, desalination, crude oil distillation, etc.). To maintain functionality, performance and reliability, every component within the package (e.g., pump, compressor, valve, pressure vessel, electric motor, instrument, control system) must be specified accordingly.

Responsibilities

• Complete ownership of various multidisciplinary units/equipment procured to build the system and sub-system packages
• Ensure units/equipment selected are verified, certified, qualified, meet all statutory obligations, and are fit for purpose for the life expectancy of the packaged system based on the contractual agreement
• Prepare technical documentation (datasheets and specifications) of equipment to support proposals, FEED, detailed engineering and prototype test rigs
• Interact with internal project teams, procurement, compliance, quality, and other engineering disciplines; externally with clients, vendors, and suppliers; participate in bid clarification meetings
