You'll help shape standards, guide design and analysis, and ensure critical mechanical assets are optimised for safety, compliance and cost effectiveness.

* Applying risk-based evaluation of deviations to standards and guidance on interpretation
* Using stress analysis to spot potential equipment design optimisations and improvement opportunities, including new technologies, tools and methods
* Evaluating mechanical integrity and suitability for continued operation of existing equipment using fitness-for-service codes, risk management principles, and project operating conditions
* Identifying critical project equipment and prioritising engineering surveillance strategies, optimisation work, and technology deployment
What you'll bring:
* Proven depth across relevant static equipment classes, including general pressure vessels/towers/reactors & internals, high alloy/high pressure or heavy wall reactors and internals, and complex heat exchanger types
* Strong awareness of mechanical considerations and material selection for risks seen in steam cracking, high pressure hydroprocessing, sulphur/amine services and other refinery units
* Confidence interpreting standards and making risk-informed decisions when deviations are proposed
* A collaborative leadership style that works well with other disciplines to anticipate and resolve issues while capturing value
