Design Engineer

Responsible for the design and engineering of pressure vessels, storage tanks, and heat exchangers per ASME, API, and TEMA standards. Ensures compliance with Saudi Aramco requirements and client-specific certifications; performs mechanical calculations using PV Elite, COMPRESS, or similar tools. Manages and reviews outsourced design deliverables; supports bid evaluations, scope reviews, and client clarifications.

Coordinates with QA/QC for inspection and material compliance. Prepares nozzle loadings, supports, weld designs, and assembly drawings. provides fabrication support and resolves shop floor queries, and integrates all design documents into complete project engineering deliverables.

Requirements

• Strong working knowledge of ASME Section VIII (Div. 1 & 2), ASME Section II & IX, API 650/620/660/661, and TEMA standards.
• Proficiency in mechanical design and analysis software: PV Elite, COMPRESS, or equivalent pressure vessel/heat exchanger design tools.
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD and/or relevant 3D modeling software for drawing review and markup.
• Familiarity with Saudi Aramco engineering standards (SAES/SAEP series) and material specifications.
• Sound understanding of welding processes, weld joint design, and NDE/inspection requirements relevant to pressure equipment.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability, with attention to detail in calculations and documentation.
• Effective coordination and communication skills for working across engineering, QA/QC, procurement, and fabrication teams.
• Ability to manage multiple deliverables and outsourced inputs against project schedules.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent) from a recognized university.
• Minimum 5–10 years of relevant experience in the design of pressure vessels, storage tanks, and/or heat exchangers within an EPC, fabrication, or oil & gas engineering environment.
• Prior experience on Saudi Aramco or similar major oil & gas client projects strongly preferred.
• Experience reviewing or managing outsourced/subcontracted design engineering deliverables is an advantage.
