• Participating in relevant reviews, as defined in SPX Flow procedures and, additionally, customer contracts, and ensuring that her/his resultant actions have been completed. (Example reviews include: Design Reviews, Risk Assessments)
• Ensuring compliance with local legislation and regulations (for the locality of the plant/process) which apply to engineering design
• Acting in a safe fashion, particularly when operating outside of the known office environment (e.g. on customer and supplier sites)

• Mechanical Design Tasks
• Generating process solutions and defining their characteristics in terms of:
• Equipment and fabricated item specifications (e.g. vessel specifications)
• Layout and elevational diagrams
• 2D & 3D piping diagrams
• Dimensioned manufacturing diagrams (e.g. skidded system designs, pipe support structures)
• Material lists
• Loading/foundation requirements
• Transportation, ingress, egress and maintenance access requirements
• Creating purchase requisitions of materials (using SAP)
• Adhering to SPX Flow procedures, and utilising applicable tools and design standards, during the development of mechanical designs
• Completing design calculations (e.g. loadings, stress calculations, thermal expansion etc) to support mechanical design and equipment selection
• Ensuring that tasks are completed in accordance with the project schedule, to the required quality and within the allocated budget.

• Design Ownership
• Ensuring that the design, for which they are responsible, is functional, and is executed in line with:
• Applicable legislation and regulation
• Customer contractual requirements (or, in case of proposal, RFQ/URS requirements)
• SPX references, standards and best practices, where applicable
• Ensuring that design output is complete and of a consistent standard. Examples include:
• Skids and manifold drawings
• Platform drawings
• Ensuring all scope elements/sub-systems for which they are responsible integrate coherently and that external interfaces are clearly understood and defined
• Considering economic factors with a view to ensuring that the overall project is delivered on budget
• Ensuring that the design is ergonomically efficient

• Communication & Team Working
• Undertaking technical discussions with customers and suppliers
• Attending relevant project or proposal meetings e.g.:
• Launch/ “kick-off” meetings
• Progress reviews
• Design reviews
• Communicating information to stakeholders in a timely fashion
• Supporting other disciplines, during the design phase, to achieve project or proposal deliverables e.g.
• Supply Chain (e.g. initial specification, review of supplier quotes, purchase requisitions, etc)
• Process design (e.g. interpreting P&ID requirements)
• Electrical design (e.g. agreeing panel positions and cable runs)
• Supporting Installation & Commissioning team during the site execution phase e.g.:
• communicating design intent
• assisting with planning of equipment ingress/positioning
• highlighting critical installation requirements
• assisting with resolution of design issues
• Assisting with hand-over of design information to Aftermarket team

• Documentation
• Ensuring that all design information is captured, stored and maintained, in the allocated location, in a structured and accessible fashion
• Assisting in compilation of Technical Files, or equivalent

• Additional Sales Support & Proposals Tasks
• Attending pre-contact customer meetings to provide technical support to the sales team
• Undertaking pre-contract studies (e.g. feasibility, site surveys)
  

Lead Engineer

Responsibilities

On a given project or proposal, the Mechanical Engineer may be allocated the role of “Lead Engineer”.

• Establishing and leading engineering team meetings/discussions
• Generating and maintaining time schedule for the engineering phase
• Identifying and communicating resource needs
• Actively managing team members to meet schedule demands and target on-budget execution (in terms of hours), whilst still ensuring delivery of a thoroughly engineered, complete design.
• Establishing and communicating consistent design and documentation standards for the project/proposal
• Ensuring that required reviews and meetings (e.g. design reviews) are completed and that resultant actions are closed out by the team.
• Ensuring team compliance with SPX Flow processes and procedures
