Bedminster, NJMachinery/Rotating Equipment Engineer
Play a critical role in the specification, procurement, and installation of rotating equipment in process plants.
Solutions, development of competitive proposals for new business opportunities, and act as a resource for the operating company for issues related to rotating equipment in the field.
The types of equipment that you will work with are broad ranging and depend on the project scope; examples include centrifugal, reciprocating and screw compressors, process pumps, cryogenic pumps, fans, turbines, and associated auxiliary equipment.
Lead the execution for technical elements of critical rotating equipment on assigned projects during
basic and detailed design phases with responsibility for delivering committed work on-schedule and
on-budget
The role will require domestic and international travel to suppliers and project sites. Approximately 20% of your time may be spent travelling with some extended durations at project job sites to support construction, commissioning, and start-up of rotating equipment.
The role will be primarily focused on air separation facilities, but may include gasification, ammonia, hydrogen, and other process gases facilities.
