About the Role

The Engineer I – Mechanical is an entry-level engineering position supporting the design, specification, evaluation, and delivery of mechanical equipment for energy, LNG, petrochemical, and other industrial projects. Working under the direction of senior engineers, the successful candidate will contribute to engineering deliverables across conceptual design, FEED, detailed engineering, procurement, and project execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in preparing mechanical equipment datasheets, technical specifications, requisitions, calculations, and engineering reports.
• Support engineering activities for static and rotating equipment, such as vessels, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, and packaged systems.
• Review equipment drawings, vendor documents, and technical information for consistency with project requirements.
• Participate in equipment selection, material evaluations, and basic mechanical design calculations.
• Coordinate technical interfaces with process, piping, civil/structural, electrical, instrumentation, procurement, and construction teams.
• Support technical bid evaluations, vendor clarification reviews, and purchase-order engineering follow-up.
• Help resolve engineering questions arising during fabrication, inspection, installation, and commissioning.
• Maintain accurate technical documentation, action lists, and engineering deliverable status.
• Work with senior and lead engineers to understand engineering procedures, equipment design practices, and project execution requirements.
• Participate in design reviews, technical discussions, project meetings, and training activities.
• Seek feedback, apply engineering lessons learned, and progressively take ownership of defined work packages.
• Communicate technical questions, schedule risks, and potential discrepancies promptly to the lead engineer.
• Follow Technip Energies engineering procedures, quality systems, and HSE expectations.
• Apply relevant industry codes and standards, including applicable ASME, API, and ASTM requirements.
• Support checking and document-control processes to ensure deliverables are complete, accurate, and traceable.
• Promote safe and reliable equipment design through careful review of operating conditions and project requirements.
