As a member of the LNG MDE External Engineering team, you will be accountable for all Civil and Structural engineering aspects of LNG Equipment design. You will be responsible for supporting a complex and dynamic LNG equipment business by working across all engineering disciplines, ensuring compliance with engineering standards and project specifications. The person in this role will complete engineering analyses and calculations for structural steel platforms, ladders, railings, and module steel frames related to LNG Coil Wound Heat Exchangers, other Pressure Vessels, Cold Boxes, and Modularized Liquefaction Equipment.
The position requires occasional domestic and international travel.
NATURE AND SCOPE:
This role will focus on providing Civil and Structural engineering technical support to a complex and dynamic LNG equipment business. It will require performing detailed design on heat exchanger platforms, pipe support systems, cold boxes, and heat exchanger module steel frames, as well as limited foundation design.
The incumbent will also be responsible for managing or performing dynamic structural studies considering environmental conditions such as wind, seismic, or blast loads. This will require collaborating closely with other designers and engineers within the MDE team. Occasional collaboration with other functional areas including Process Engineering and Project Management will be required.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Perform structural design and analysis calculations using governing codes, project specifications, standards (such as AISC, IBC, ASCE, ASTM), engineering formulas, skills, and experience.
- Generate designs for industrial plant structures, platforms, ladders, railings, pipe supports, and
modularized equipment including cryogenic cold boxes. - Review customer/EPC specifications, industrial standards, and regulatory requirements to align scope of supply during project bid phase.
- Function as the lead Structural Design Engineer on projects from conceptual phase through project execution.
- Champion the implementation of modern technology and continuous improvement of work processes.
- Review and approve project deliverables while ensuring compliance with internal specifications, standards, project specifications, and industry practices.
- Participate in model review meetings within LNG team and with EPCs/Customers (e.g., 30%, 60% & 90%).
- Maintain internal specifications, standards, work instructions, templates and job aids pertaining to structural engineering work.
- Collaborate with other members within the team such as Structural Designer, Piping Designer, Pipe Stress Engineer, Pressure Vessel Engineer, and Pressure Vessel Designer.
- Participate in plant visits occasionally and international field repair trips, as assigned.
