• •     Strong working knowledge of ASME Section VIII (Div. 1 & 2), ASME Section II & IX, API 650/620/660/661, and TEMA standards.
• •     Proficiency in mechanical design and analysis software: PV Elite, COMPRESS, or equivalent pressure vessel/heat exchanger design tools.
• •     Working knowledge of AutoCAD and/or relevant 3D modeling software for drawing review and markup.
• •     Familiarity with Saudi Aramco engineering standards (SAES/SAEP series) and material specifications.
• •     Sound understanding of welding processes, weld joint design, and NDE/inspection requirements relevant to pressure equipment.
• •     Strong analytical and problem-solving ability, with attention to detail in calculations and documentation.
• •     Effective coordination and communication skills for working across engineering, QA/QC, procurement, and fabrication teams.
• •     Ability to manage multiple deliverables and outsourced inputs against project schedules.
• •     Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent) from a recognized university.
• •     Minimum 5–10 years of relevant experience in the design of pressure vessels, storage tanks, and/or heat exchangers within an EPC, fabrication, or oil & gas engineering environment.
• •     Prior experience on Saudi Aramco or similar major oil & gas client projects strongly preferred.
• •     Experience reviewing or managing outsourced/subcontracted design engineering deliverables is an advantage.

Responsibilities

• Design and engineering of pressure vessels, storage tanks, and heat exchangers per ASME, API, and TEMA standards.
