Role Summary:

The Sr. Project Engineer for Compressor Retrofits is the Technical Leader on the projects where legacy sealing technologies for compressors and other turbomachines are upgraded to advanced seals and auxiliary systems.

The turbomachines operate in various services, including Gas Pipelines, Refineries, Injection Services, Chemical, Petro-Chemical and other Process Plants, etc. The scope of a Retrofit Project may include the shaft seal (dry or wet, including separation seals and labyrinths) and the seal system (control skid, conditioning skid and individual components, like heaters, filters, boosters, etc.). The scope may also cover supervision of turnkey services by specialized project partners for the turbomachinery overhaul and modification (rotor and/or stator), electrical and civils works, seal and system removal and installation, turbomachinery shutdown and commissioning.

Your Role:

• Lead field related activities including site surveys.

• Interact with the project manager, and a network of discipline engineers, designers, field and shop technicians on testing procedures, seal fitment, installation tooling, rotor dynamic analysis, seal and system design and documentation, electrical, turbomachinery and package engineering.

• Resolve discrepancies and contradictions on the interfaces between the project phases of Engineering, Manufacturing & Procurement, Pre-shutdown, Shutdown and Commissioning.

• Sign off critical project milestones, such as Engineering, Release to Manufacturing, Factory Acceptance Testing, Installation, Commissioning, and Start-up.
