About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer will support power-generation projects by developing and reviewing technical specifications for boiler components, including firing systems, air and gas flue draft systems, pressure-part arrangements, fuel-gas systems, and emissions. The role includes managing requests for proposals (RFPs) for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) work; evaluating proposals; conducting technical negotiations; and coordinating technical reviews with project-team members.

The engineer will review vendor submittals and detailed-engineering documents—including P&IDs, equipment and system data sheets, layouts, general arrangements, and performance guarantees—to verify compliance with technical specifications. The role also provides technical support to construction and commissioning teams during installation and works with the design team to ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards.

• Strong communication skills to facilitate training programs and technical discussions between contractors and operations and maintenance teams.
• Experience conducting computational fluid dynamics analysis and implementing recommendations to address engineering process irregularities.
• Experience operating and maintaining power-plant facilities, including testing and starting up systems and equipment such as boilers, turbines, balance-of-plant equipment, and DCS operation.

Responsibilities

• Develop and review technical specifications for boiler components, including firing systems, air and gas flue draft systems, pressure-part arrangements, fuel-gas systems, and emissions.
