Senior Mechanical Engineer - Water Treatment EPC Projects

About the role

Burjline Builders is looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer with a strong background in mechanical design, equipment engineering and fabrication for industrial water treatment, desalination and wastewater treatment projects. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in mechanical calculations, pressure vessel and tank design, piping systems, fabrication drawings and equipment specifications, and can independently handle mechanical engineering deliverables while coordinating with vendors, fabrication teams and multidisciplinary project teams.

Key responsibilities

• Perform mechanical design and engineering for water and wastewater treatment equipment and packaged systems.
• Prepare and review General Arrangement Drawings (GADs), fabrication drawings, mechanical datasheets and equipment specifications.
• Design and review pressure vessels, storage tanks, filters, skid-mounted equipment and piping systems.
• Perform mechanical calculations for vessels, tanks, supports, nozzles, pumps and equipment foundations.
• Review piping layouts, isometrics, material specifications and equipment interfaces.
• Coordinate fabrication activities, vendor drawings, welding documentation, inspections, FAT and hydrotesting.
• Prepare material take-offs (MTOs), bills of materials (BOMs) and technical procurement documents.
• Support site installation, pre-commissioning, commissioning and final documentation.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 8-10+ years of relevant mechanical design and engineering experience, preferably in water treatment EPC projects.
• Hands-on mechanical design engineer; experience limited to maintenance, site supervision or CAD drafting is not suitable.
• Experience with an EPC contractor, pressure vessel manufacturer, skid fabricator or water treatment equipment OEM is an advantage.

Required skills

• Strong knowledge of pressure vessel design, process piping, storage tanks and industrial equipment fabrication.
• Familiarity with ASME Section VIII, ASME B31.3, API 650, AWWA and relevant ASTM standards.
• Experience with GRP/FRP tanks and piping systems is highly desirable.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and 3D tools such as Plant 3D, SolidWorks or equivalent.
• Understanding of welding, NDT, hydrotesting, material selection and corrosion protection.
