Job description

Position: Mechanical Engineer - Pressure Vessels

Location: Negeri Sembilan

Salary Range : RM6000 - RM7999 (commensurate with experience)

Field of Study : Engineering, manufacturing and construction or any related

Job description :

• Design, review, and verify pressure vessels in compliance with ASME Section VIII, API 510, and API 579.
• Perform mechanical design calculations including thickness, stress, and reinforcement requirements for vessels operating under high pressure and temperature.
• Conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments to ensure vessel safety and reliability.
• Review and approve fabrication drawings, welding procedures, and material selection for pressure vessels.
• Supervise fabrication, assembly, hydrostatic testing, and non-destructive testing (NDT) of pressure vessels.
• Carry out inspection, monitoring, and periodic certification of in-service pressure vessels to meet statutory and international requirements.
• Investigate and resolve mechanical failures, cracks, and corrosion issues in vessels, ensuring corrective and preventive measures are applied.
• Provide technical support during turnarounds, shutdowns, and vessel repair activities.
• Prepare and maintain pressure vessel documentation, including design files, inspection reports, and compliance records.
• Train and mentor junior/local engineers in pressure vessel engineering practices.

Minimum

• Diploma/Advanced Diploma/DKM/DLKM (Level 4/5) in Engineering or related field.
• 2+ years experience in pressure vessel design/inspection/fabrication within metal fabrication or manufacturing.
• Working knowledge of ASME Section VIII and API 510 / API 579.
• Ability to perform mechanical design calculations (thickness, stress, reinforcement) and review fabrication drawings.
• Familiar with FEA/FFS assessments, NDT methods, hydrostatic testing, welding procedures, and material selection.
• Strong documentation skills (design files, inspection reports, compliance records).
• Good communication and teamwork; able to support shutdowns/turnarounds when required.

Preferred (Added Advantage)

• Hands-on experience with tools such as PV Elite/Compress/ANSYS (or equivalent).
• Exposure to ASME IX, WPS/PQR review, and QA/QC processes.
• Certification(s): API 510, FFS (API 579), ASNT/PCN NDT Level II/III, or local competency (e.g., DOSH-related) — nice to have.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and coordinating with fabrication/vendor teams.
