LNG Project Engineer

About the role

The LNG Project Engineer coordinates and supports multidisciplinary engineering and construction activities for LNG facilities, acting as the technical interface between Engineering, Construction, Procurement, Quality, Project Controls, Commissioning, vendors and subcontractors. The role ensures that project requirements are turned into safe, executable construction work.

Key responsibilities

• Coordinate civil, structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation and process engineering activities.
• Review drawings, specifications, P&IDs, equipment layouts, piping isometrics and other technical documents for constructability.
• Support construction teams, resolve field engineering issues and coordinate technical queries, RFIs, design changes and clarifications.
• Review work packages and vendor documentation, and verify field installation against approved drawings, specifications and codes.
• Manage design changes, deviations and substitutions, and support material and equipment technical reviews.
• Take part in constructability reviews, coordination meetings, site walkdowns and technical reviews, and work with Quality on NCRs, punch items and deviations.
• Support mechanical completion, systemization, pre-commissioning, commissioning and handover, and capture changes in red-line drawings and as-built records.
• Provide engineering status information for quantity, progress and schedule reviews, and monitor risks, clashes and constraints.
• Support process-safety requirements from HAZID, HAZOP, SIL and other safety reviews, and promote HSE, environmental, quality and process-safety objectives.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Process, Civil, Electrical, Instrumentation or a related engineering field.
• Typically 10 to 15 years of engineering and project execution experience, preferably in LNG, oil and gas, petrochemical, refinery or similar projects.
• Large-scale EPC/EPCM experience, preferably as a site-based Project Engineer or Field Engineer.
• Knowledge of LNG and hydrocarbon facilities, cryogenic systems, pressure containment, hazardous areas and process safety.
• Familiarity with HAZID, HAZOP, SIL, MOC, RFIs, technical queries and design changes.
• Strong technical problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills; engineering registration or membership of a recognised body is advantageous.

Required skills

• Interpreting P&IDs, plot plans, equipment layouts, isometrics, IFC drawings and specifications.
• Working knowledge of ASME, API, NFPA, IEC and ISO standards.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; SmartPlant/Hexagon, AVEVA, Navisworks, Primavera P6 or similar is advantageous.
