• Oversee engineering activities related to hydraulic power units and pressure control equipment, such as choke manifolds.
• Conduct reviews of engineering drawings to ensure adherence to project specifications, functionality, and quality standards.
• Approve hydraulic schematics and P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), verifying completeness and accuracy.
• Identify and address any potential gaps, inconsistencies, or necessary improvements in drawings and schematics.

Vendor Assessment and Technical Project Management:

• Evaluate vendor capabilities to ensure alignment with technical project requirements and industry standards.
• Manage the technical aspects of the project, coordinating with vendors to monitor progress, address challenges, and ensure timely, compliant deliverables.
• Work closely with procurement and vendor teams to ensure materials and components meet technical specifications.

Documentation and Spare Parts Management:

• Create and maintain spare parts lists for hydraulic power units and pressure control assemblies, encompassing mechanical and hydraulic components.
• Review and organize documentation to ensure it meets technical specifications and is complete for maintenance and operational purposes.

Standards Compliance and Approval Processes:

• Ensure adherence to relevant industry standards such as API, ASME, ANSI, ASTM, and certifications from DNV and ABS.
• Oversee compliance processes, confirming that design, engineering, and documentation meet all required standards.

Technical Expertise and Quality Control:

• Apply expertise in hydraulic control systems, including proportional and directional control valves, hydraulic hoses, fluids, and fittings.
• Lead quality control efforts, including testing and commissioning, to ensure compliance with mechanical and hydraulic standards.
• Provide problem-solving support and technical guidance through the engineering, assembly, testing, and commissioning stages.

Collaboration and Cross-Functional Engagement:

• Collaborate closely with engineering, design, and project management teams to ensure alignment on technical requirements and project timelines.
• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure that technical deliverables meet specifications and project milestones.

Qualifications:

Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Control Systems Engineering or a related field. Advanced degrees or certifications in hydraulics, mechanical systems, or project management are a plus.

Experience:

5+ years in building, testing, and commissioning hydraulic and pressure control equipment, ideally within oil and gas or a related industry.

Proficiency in hydraulic control systems, with hands-on experience in hydraulic power units and pressure management systems.

Technical Skills:

Strong ability to read and interpret hydraulic schematics and P&IDs.

Familiarity with standards such as API, ASME, ANSI, ASTM, and certifying authorities such as DNV and ABS.

Deep knowledge of hydraulic control systems, components, and applications in high-pressure equipment.

Project Management Skills:

Experience in vendor assessment, procurement, and technical project management.

Proven ability to oversee technical aspects of projects from inception to completion, ensuring high quality and compliance.

Additional Skills:

Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail.

Effective communication skills for collaboration with cross-functional teams, vendors, and stakeholders.

A proactive approach to identifying technical and project challenges, with a focus on implementing effective solutions.

This position requires a blend of technical oversight, project management, and quality control, perfect for a professional with a strong background in hydraulic and pressure control equipment.
