• Preparation and review of General Arrangement Drawings (GAD) and fabrication drawings for static equipment and integrated systems.
• Development of plot plans, equipment layouts, piping class definitions, piping arrangements, and isometric drawings.
• Preparation of material take-offs, specifications, vessel RFQs, data sheets, design reports, and vendor proposal evaluations.
• Ensure adherence to international design codes and standards such as ASME Section VIII Div-1, TEMA, ASME B31.3, API, and ASTM.
• Design of equipment skids, structural supports, pipe racks, and modular assemblies for global project applications.
• Conduct design validation and engineering calculations using PV Elite, COMPRESS, FEA tools, and other analysis software.
• Perform stress analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), nozzle load evaluations, and structural integrity assessments.
• Manage 3D modelling and visualization of static equipment for engineering reviews and project coordination.
• Apply appropriate material selection, corrosion allowance, and metallurgy considerations based on project requirements.
• Coordinate effectively with Zeeco's U.S. and global engineering teams, contributing to multi-office execution and technical alignment.
• Engage in design reviews, resolve technical queries, and ensure engineering deliverables meet global project expectations.

• B.E. / B.Tech / M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering.
• 5 - 8 years of experience in static equipment and pressure vessel design within heavy engineering, EPC, fired equipment, or process equipment industries.

• PV Elite, COMPRESS
• STAAD.Pro, CAESAR II
• AutoCAD (2D & 3D), Navisworks, SmartPlant Review
• NozzlePro

• Strong knowledge of pressure vessel design codes and fabrication practices.
• Proficiency in mechanical design, drafting, and review of engineering deliverables.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills for effective global collaboration.
• Self-driven, detail-oriented, and committed to high-quality engineering output.
