Job Description: Lead Mechanical Engineer - Rotating Title: Lead Mechanical Engineer - Rotating Company: KBR Corporate Inhouse Engineering Location: Abu Dhabi UAE KBR Office Job Purpose Provide technical leadership for rotating equipment engineering within FEED and Detail Engineering projects in the Oil & Gas sector. Define and supervise mechanical design basis codes and standards for rotating machinery (pumps compressors turbines drivers turbines gearboxes etc.). Ensure safety reliability and cost-effective solutions across front-end and detailed design phases. Mentor engineers manage interfaces with other disciplines and drive quality and schedule adherence for rotating equipment deliverables. Key Responsibilities Lead the mechanical design and sizing of rotating equipment and associated auxiliaries for FEED and Detail Engineering. Develop and review mechanical design basis equipment specifications datasheets and technical bid evaluations for rotating machinery. Perform and supervise calculations and analyses (e.g. pump head/flow compressor performance rotor dynamics vibration mechanical seals bearings lubrication). Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards (e.g. ASME API ISO NFPA) and regulatory requirements. Coordinate interfaces with process mechanical piping electrical instrumentation and civil disciplines; manage vendor and contractor drawings and inquiries. Lead risk assessments and safety reviews related to rotating equipment (HAZOP/HAZID LOPA RAM analyses MAHV considerations). Review and approve technical deliverables (Equipment datasheets MOC/Change notes design change requests technical queries). Mentor and develop junior mechanical engineers; support staffing training and performance reviews. Develop and manage execution plans man-hour estimates and budgets for rotating equipment scope. Ensure quality assurance and documentation practices including drawing standards datasheets and requisition packages. Support field construction commissioning and start-up activities; address punch lists and as-built documentation. Stay abreast of advances in rotating equipment technology and recommend value-added solutions. Experience Experience: 15 years of experience in FEED and Detail Engineering and EPCM experience in the Oil & Gas industry. ADNOC EPC/PMC experience are highly preferred. Demonstrated track record delivering rotating equipment design and integration on FEED/detail projects. Qualifications Education: Bachelors of Engineering in a related field. Professional membership or relevant certifications (e.g. PE/Chartered Engineer) are a plus. Certification in rotating equipment reliability or mechanical integrity (e.g. MTM CI) is advantageous. Technical Skills Strong background in rotating equipment design selection and integrity assessment. Proficiency with mechanical design software and calculation tools (e.g. PV Elite COMET AFT Fathom ANSYS for rotor dynamics or equivalent). Familiarity with FEED deliverables MOC/Change control and document controls. Knowledge of piping instrumentation and corrosion considerations as they relate to rotating equipment. Experience with vibration analysis rotor dynamics seals lubrication and alignment. Understanding of codes and standards (ASME API ISO NFPA) relevant to rotating equipment. Ability to perform risk assessments and safety reviews tied to mechanical systems. Excellent analytical troubleshooting and problem-solving skills. What We Offer Opportunities for professional development and career advancement. Engaging and collaborative work environment with a commitment to safety and sustainability. #J-18808-Ljbffr
