Be the projects technical expert in the Mechanical Engineering discipline and be the final technical approval authority for deviations and derogations against project specification and Mechanical Engineering technical standards. Lead the Mechanical Engineering team in developing design scope and ensure that all related deliverables are in compliance with the applicable codes, standards, Project and Corporate requirements and procedures. Coordinate and align the Mechanical Engineering interfaces between the project phases and direct the Contractors design efforts accordingly taking into account safety, start-up, cost and constructability impacts. Establish professional work relationships with FEED and EPIC Contractor, represents QPs interest and direct Contractors with any technical queries and interpretation of scope, specifications and standards. Maintain an overview of the project Mechanical Engineering capability and highlight to Engineering Manager any critical resourcing issues. Provide technical guidance and prepare the Mechanical Engineering specific elements for the FEED and EPIC tender, procurement activities, technical bid evaluation, technical queries raised by Contractors. Participate in Technical bid evaluation and provide necessary guidance in selecting the FEED and EPIC Contractors. Lead the selection of suitable equipment & materials, field devices, and other Mechanical Engineering specific systems as per design, evaluate options and select best techno-economic solutions for project facilities. Endorse the Mechanical Engineering design calculation reports, system studies, design philosophies, software model input and output, drawings, data bases, specifications and vendor data. Provide technical guidance during FEED, detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, testing, installation, commissioning/start-up stages of the project and monitor the implementation of QA/QC processes, in order to achieve deliverables and facilities that meet project requirements. Ensure that design integrity is maintained throughout fabrication through correct handling of site queries and proper application of QA/QC processes. Provide guidance and support to conduct Safety and Design Reviews in coordination with Manager Facilities I Engineering Manager, other Head Discipline Engineers and the Loss Prevention Engineers. Supervise team members and support the development ofQatari Nationals by ensuring that they receive proper job training and development. Decision Making Authority Planning, execution and decisions for the Mechanical Engineering design activities on time and within budget, and as per agreed project requirements and specifications. Responsible for complex technical solutions during the execution of the project. Operate within the framework of established company policies and departmental procedures, guided by engineering codes, standard practices and procedures.
