Responsibilities

• Translate process duty into a compressor specification and datasheet you can defend line by line, with every requirement traceable to a stated duty.
• Assess compressor types for each service, including reciprocating, diaphragm, screw, centrifugal and integrally geared, and draw a clear line between a standard package and a custom machine.
• Build and issue an RFQ package that is complete and technology-neutral when it goes out, covering specification, datasheets, scope of supply, standards, documentation, testing requirements, the inspection and test plan, spares and guarantees.
• Produce the technical bid tabulation, normalize offers to a common scope, expose gaps and exclusions, and recommend an award on documented grounds that weigh guaranteed power and performance, wear-part life, availability, maintainability and spares alongside price and delivery.
• Review and challenge everything the vendor supplies around the machine, from pulsation and mechanical response studies, torsional analysis, lube and seal systems, coolers, drivers and couplings, valves and unloaders, distance pieces and vent and purge arrangements through to machinery protection and instrumentation, baseplate and skid structure, and the piping and utility interfaces to our system.
• Settle removal envelopes, lifting provisions and maintenance access during design, so a machine and its auxiliaries can be worked on in place on a modular skid.
• Fix the criticality, sparing philosophy, condition-monitoring basis and maintenance intervals for every machine before it ships, covering wear parts and their expected life, capital and insurance spares, and preservation and storage requirements.
