  • LNG Senior Engineer II requires 8 years of professional engineering experience with a PE license, or 10 years without a PE license.
  • LNG Senior Engineer II requires significant engineering knowledge of the natural gas industry related to design and installation of pipelines, compressor stations, and process equipment.
  • All levels require oral and written communication skills, including technical writing; effective decision-making; computer skills and use of software programs; analytical and abstract thinking; problem solving; ability to learn and apply engineering theories and concepts to complex problems; ability to interpret codes, regulations, and practices; planning, project, organizational, and project-management skills; ability to handle multiple tasks; teamwork; leadership development; and ability to process information quickly.
  • Must have a valid TWIC card or proof of TWIC card application prior to employment.
  • A bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited college or university is required.

Responsibilities

  • Support day-to-day operation, long-term performance, and reliability of critical plant equipment, including infrastructure, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, piping systems, and rotating equipment.
  • Prevent equipment failures using condition monitoring, robust asset strategies, and defect-elimination efforts; improve early detection of equipment degradation through condition-monitoring programs.
  • Build cross-functional alignment for reliability-focused initiatives and champion reliability best practices while mentoring others to develop a reliability-centered culture.
  • Lead functional teams in planning, designing, procuring, and constructing pipeline and/or compression projects for the pipeline system, and provide technical oversight throughout all project phases.
  • Assist with internal training for engineers and technicians; work with managers and principal engineers on higher-level projects and recommend and implement beneficial changes.
  • Design and provide cost estimates, engineering specifications, drawings, materials procurement, construction contract administration, cost analyses, inspections, and maintenance.
  • Conduct engineering studies and investigations and prepare oral and written reports; provide engineering assistance to other departments and stay informed of industry issues and technical trends relevant to the business.
  • Provide technical support for operation and maintenance of fixed mechanical equipment, including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, piping systems, LNG loading arms, valves, filters, flares, restriction orifices, and fire-system equipment such as monitors and deluge systems.
  • Support plant systems and processes for hose management, flange management, pressure-equipment repair and fitness for service, welding and nondestructive testing, piping stress analysis, and piping vibration management, including AIV/FIV.
  • Provide mechanical engineering support for day-to-day plant operations and long-term reliability and availability targets, including frontline response to mechanical issues and failures.
  • Improve mechanical equipment safety, cost, and availability through maintenance-strategy optimization, root-cause failure analysis, bad-actor analysis, management of change, debottlenecking, and efficiency optimization.
  • Define and implement quality assurance and quality control programs for mechanical-equipment maintenance.
  • Participate in review and approval of engineering designs, modifications, and repair plans.
  • Interact with and support other intercompany teams, including Operations, Maintenance, Quality, and Process.
  • Develop and optimize asset strategies based on asset criticality and drive implementation of the site reliability strategy.
  • Develop, implement, maintain, and continuously improve condition-monitoring programs and standards.
  • Identify and address spare-parts gaps for critical equipment.
  • Initiate, define, justify, and support execution of strategic initiatives and capital projects to improve equipment reliability.

Desired Qualifications

  • Internship experience is preferred.
  • Knowledge and experience in rotating equipment is a plus, but not required.
