  • Plant designs are safe
  • Environmental impacts of our designs have been considered appropriately
• 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

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

In this capacity, they will be responsible for additional tasks such as:

• 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
