Mechanical or Rotating Equipment Engineer / Inspector

Job Purpose To perform independent verification, inspection, and technical integrity assessments of offshore mechanical and rotating equipment, structures, and safety-critical elements, ensuring compliance with applicable standards, regulatory requirements, and asset integrity management systems. Key Responsibilities Rotating Equipment Verification Conduct verification and inspection of rotating equipment, including pumps, compressors, turbines, generators, motors, and associated systems. Assess equipment condition, maintenance effectiveness, and operational integrity. Identify equipment deficiencies and recommend corrective actions. Structural Integrity Verification Perform verification of offshore structures, topside structures, and helidecks. Conduct annual surveys of offshore facilities and verify structural integrity compliance. Assess corrosion, degradation, fatigue, and structural protection systems. Safety Critical Element (SCE) Verification Conduct verification of Safety and Environmental Critical Elements (SECEs/HSECES), including: Fire and Gas Detection Systems Emergency Shutdown and Isolation Systems Surface Safety Isolation Valves (SSIV) Subsurface Safety Valves (SSSV) High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS) Emergency Depressurization Systems Reservoir Isolation and Containment Systems Toxic Gas and Oxygen Depletion Detection Systems Drainage and Containment Systems Drilling Well Control Systems Fire and Safety Systems Verification Verify effectiveness and operational readiness of: Fire Water Pumps and Fire Water Systems Foam Systems Portable and Fixed Fire Extinguishing Systems Gaseous and Liquid Fire Suppression Systems Blast Resistant Structures Fire Mitigation and Collision Protection Systems Dropped Object Prevention and Protection Systems Emergency Systems Assessment Verify emergency preparedness systems including: Public Address (PA) and Alarm Systems Emergency Lighting Systems Emergency Power Supplies and Generators Lifeboats and Life Rafts Escape, Rescue and Recovery Facilities Means of Escape and Access Routes Crane Safety Certifications and Test Records Technical Integrity Verification Conduct physical inspections and surveys of offshore facilities. Review maintenance management documentation, inspection reports, and asset integrity records. Verify process containment integrity, relief systems, pipeline and riser integrity, and well containment systems. Assess HVAC systems, ignition prevention systems, ballast systems, stability management systems, and anchoring/mooring systems. Evaluate collision avoidance measures and other operational risk controls. Inspection and Reporting Independently select equipment and systems for verification activities based on risk and integrity requirements. Perform inspections at elevated locations and offshore work areas. Prepare technical reports, observations, Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), findings, and recommendations. Track closure of corrective actions and follow-up activities. Ensure compliance with company standards, industry regulations, and statutory requirements. Educational Qualification Diploma / Bachelor's Degree (B.E./B.Tech) / Master's Degree (M.E./M.Tech) in Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent engineering discipline. Additional certifications in Asset Integrity Management, Rotating Equipment, Inspection Engineering, Offshore Safety, Reliability Engineering, or Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) will be an advantage. Offshore safety certifications such as BOSIET, H2S, HUET, or equivalent offshore training are preferred. Membership or certification from recognized professional bodies (e.g., ASME, API, IMechE, or equivalent) is desirable. Minimum 18+ years of experience in Offshore Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Refinery, or Process Industries. At least one offshore operations/maintenance assignment is mandatory. Proven experience in Technical Integrity Verification, Independent Verification Body (IVB) Services, and Safety Critical Element (SCE/HSECES) Verification. Must be capable of independently selecting equipment and systems for verification based on risk and criticality. Physically fit and competent to conduct inspections at heights and offshore installations. Show more Show less
