Job Purpose

The Senior Project Engineer is responsible for leading and managing tissue & converting machine and facility projects, including project takeover, installation, replacement, upgrading, and modification. The role provides overall coordination of Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) engineering activities for tissue machines, large rotating equipment, and pumping systems.

FM Global requirements apply to fire and explosion protection systems and safeguards associated with the facility and supporting utilities. Tissue machine process design and machinery performance are governed by OEM, industry best practices, and international engineering standards.

Key Responsibilities

Project Management & Execution

  • Take over and lead tissue machine and facility projects to successful completion.

  • Manage project scope, schedule, cost, resources, and risks.

  • Coordinate mechanical and electrical activities across multiple contractors and OEMs.

  • Plan and execute shutdowns, tie-ins, and commissioning with minimal production impact.

Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) Coordination

  • Lead and coordinate Mechanical and Electrical engineering disciplines to ensure: Proper interface between rotating machinery and electrical power systems Correct integration of motors, MCCs, VFDs, switchgear, instrumentation, and controls

  • Resolve M&E interface issues during design, installation, commissioning, and start-up.

  • Ensure designs meet operability, maintainability, and reliability requirements.

Tissue Machine, Pumping & Rotating Equipment

  • Provide engineering oversight for: Tissue machines and auxiliaries Large rotating machinery (rollers, fans, blowers, gearboxes, winders, reels) Pumping systems (process, utility, vacuum, fan, and fire pumps)

Stakeholder & Interface Management

  • Act as the key coordination point between: Engineering, Operations, Maintenance, EHS, Procurement, OEMs, and Contractors

  • Interface with FM Global and authorities for fire and explosion-related matters.

  • Provide clear technical and compliance reporting to management.

Documentation & Handover

  • Ensure complete project documentation including Mechanical and electrical as-built drawings Test and commissioning records Fire protection system acceptance and FM compliance documentation

  • Support smooth handover and stabilization of the facility after project completion.


Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (preferred); Electrical Engineering with strong M&E experience acceptable.

  • 8–12+ years of experience in tissue, paper, or heavy industrial facilities.

  • Strong experience in tissue machine projects, rotating equipment, pumping systems and facility equipments.

  • Practical experience coordinating Mechanical and Electrical disciplines.

  • Working knowledge of FM Global and NFPA to complied with fire and explosion protection.

Key Competencies

  • Strong M&E coordination capability

  • Solid understanding of rotating machinery, pump systems and machine structural.

  • Effective contractor and stakeholder management
