Descrizione del lavoro

Intertek Multinational Company Leader in ATIC (Assurance, Testing, Inspection, Certification) is seeking experienced Fitness-For-Service Mechanical Integrity Engineers for upcoming work related to Brownfield EPC modifications, revamp projects, and operational integrity programs across multiple Energy assets, on a on call basis. This role focuses on evaluating existing equipment, legacy systems, and in-service degradation to support engineering decisions related to re-rating, tie-ins, life extension, defect assessment, and mechanical integrity assurance.

The FFS Mechanical Integrity Engineer provides technical authority in API 579/ASME FFS-1 assessments and mechanical integrity engineering, ensuring that all evaluations and recommendations are technically defensible, compliant with international codes, and aligned with Client integrity requirements.

Responsabilities:

• Perform API 579 Level 1 and Level 2 FFS assessments for metal loss, pitting, LTAs, crack-like flaws, dents, gouges, creep, and high-temperature damage on in-service assets.
• Conduct remaining life evaluations, safe operating limit assessments, and engineering recommendations for continued operation, derating, or repair.
• Interpret inspection and NDT data (both advanced and conventional methods) and correlate findings with applicable damage mechanisms.
• Support Level 3 assessments through stress analysis and FEA tools when required.
• Perform mechanical integrity evaluations for pressure vessels, piping, tanks, and static equipment, including rerating, repair justification, and alteration assessments.
• Evaluate legacy equipment for revamp, tie-in, and re-use scenarios during Brownfield EPC projects.
• Review historical inspection data, operational records, and EPC deliverables to validate inputs for FFS and Mechanical Integrity assessments.
• Provide technical input to repair plans, temporary repairs, and life-extension strategies in accordance with API 579, API 510/570, and ASME codes.
• Contribute to RBI programs by validating degradation mechanisms, PoF inputs, inspection strategies, and risk-ranking logic.
• Prepare detailed FFS reports, engineering justifications, and recommendations for Client Asset Integrity / EPC teams.
• Interface with Corrosion, Mechanical, Process, and Inspection teams to resolve data gaps and ensure alignment across disciplines.
• Ensure all FFS work complies with API 579/ASME FFS-1, ASME VIII, B31.3, API 510/570, and Client standards.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials, Metallurgy, or equivalent. Master's degree in Mechanical Integrity or related field is an advantage.
• Proven experience in mechanical integrity engineering, including rerating, repair evaluation, and static equipment integrity.
• Minimum 5 years demonstrable experience performing FFS assessments.
• Experience with software / tools for Level 2 and Level 3 assessments.
• API 579 training and demonstrated competency in performing FFS assessments (mandatory).
• API 510 and/or API 570 certifications preferred.
• API 571 familiarity is beneficial for damage mechanism correlation.
• ASME or FEA-related training is an advantage
• Deep expertise in API 579/ASME FFS-1 methodology and its application to in-service pressurized equipment.
• Strong understanding of stress analysis, fracture mechanics, remaining life calculations, and structural integrity principles.
• Proficiency in interpreting inspection and NDT data for flaw evaluation and defect characterization.
• Advanced proficiency with FFS software tools.
• Thorough understanding of ASME VIII, ASME B31.3, API 510/570, and related mechanical integrity codes.
• Ability to integrate FFS and Mechanical Integrity results into revamp decisions, repair scopes, and operational integrity strategies
