Minimum 2 years working in the on- and offshore petrochemical industry. Demonstrable experience of piping and static equipment projects.
Suitable mechanical engineering degree, education and demonstratable CPD.

Education: Suitable Mechanical Engineering degree, education and demonstrate CPD.General: Field based elements:

Dynamic measurements in support of vibration troubleshooting of piping and static equipment concerns (on- and offshore).
Piping surveys to identify piping vibration concerns and devise practical solutions.
Liaising with client personnel on site and at all other stages of projects.

Office based elements:

Completing Qualitative and Quantitative Energy Institute 'Guidelines for the Avoidance of Vibration Induced Fatigue Failure in Process Pipework' vibration screening assessments of process plant.
Completing Acoustic Induced Vibration (AIV) stage 1, 2 and 3 assessment.
Completing general pipe stress analysis tasks (static and dynamic).
Designing of anti-vibration piping supports.
Completing reportage required for project with minimum oversight from senior colleagues.
Managing technical and commercial aspects of small projects from initial proposal, through technical delivery, presentation to client and final invoicing.
Assist the rotating equipment team where required and develop competence in rotating machinery.

Skills: Essential:
