Each project is a bespoke design with interesting engineering problems to be solved, as Lead Mechanical Engineer my role involves: Analytical support to project teams to ensure that designs meet structural and performance requirements; normally consisting of stress analysis of support and lifting structures and piping/pressure components, flow calculations to verify pressure loses, power and torque calculations, heat transfer calculations and pump performance calculations for equipment selection. Responsibility for overseeing and improving the mechanical and process integrity of new designs and development projects from concept to detailed design. Capturing stakeholder requirements throughout the design cycle and turning these into a functional description for both design and control requirements.Providing input to solving in service equipment failure or running problems and producing root cause analysis reports when required. Leading research and development tasks into new products and different ways to operate and or design systems to achieve a more efficient product in terms of cost, serviceability and product integrity. Developing in house design standards to ensure good knowledge transfer between departments and Engineers. Developing in house analytical tools and provide training/assistance to other Engineers with using analysis packages and any in house analysis tools. Develop and administer a companywide design review system. Reviewing company products against various European directives and produce technical files to support CE marking, typically including ATEX, PED and the Machinery Directive. Show less

Duties included: Supporting tendering teams by development of client’s requirements into a scheme piping and instrumentation diagram and initial general arrangements.Developing project designs of special purpose machines ranging from 10kW to 1MW hydraulic power. The designs are developed from a concept tender design into a detailed design complete with all detailed drawings and bill of materials. Providing the definition of factory acceptance testing and supporting the factory acceptance test. Checking and controlling 3D models and detailed design drawings to company standards. Undertaking system performance calculations, typically these include head loss calculations, heat transfer calculations, and pressure relief valve sizing. Undertaking system structural calculations, typically base-frame deflection and stress checks, static blast case loading on containers/noise enclosures and analysis of pressure containing components to in house and international standards, ie ASME VIII. Provide concessions for in service design changes, typically nozzle loads on equipment due to client pipework modification. Review of clients feed pipework to ensure that flow and pressure conditions at skid edge will be suitable for supplied process equipment. Developing in-house design standards for stress and performance analysis of components/systems and for applying the Pressure Equipment Directive to products Show less
