The Mid-Level Boiler Engineer (HRSG & Pressure Parts) takes ownership of the technical integrity, performance, and lifecycle management of Heat Recovery Steam Generators and their pressure-retaining components. Working with minimal supervision, you will lead thermal assessments, integrity inspections, failure investigations, and engineering change implementations to ensure safe, efficient steam generation.
Thermal & Mechanical Design Support
Develop and review detailed heat-balance calculations, pressure-drop analyses, and mechanical design updates for economizers, superheaters, and reheaters.
Author and approve datasheets, isometrics, and GA drawings for replacement pressure parts.
Integrity Inspection & Assessment
Plan and conduct routine and in-service inspections: thickness gauging, NDE prep (UT, PT), and visual examinations of tubes, drums, headers, and expansion joints.
Analyze inspection data to assess remaining life, corrosion rates, and erosion patterns; recommend repairs or replacements.
Failure Analysis & Corrective Action
Lead root-cause investigations of tube leaks, material degradation, or vibration-induced damage.
Define corrective scopes—weld repairs, tube sleeving, material upgrades—and oversee implementation.
Project & Modification Management
Execute brownfield modification projects such as bypass system installations, HP/LP piping reroutes, or material upgrades under Management of Change (MoC).
Coordinate with procurement and vendors to source qualified pressure-part materials and ensure compliance with ASME Section I & VIII.
Performance Monitoring & Optimization
Monitor HRSG performance metrics (stack temperature, approach temperature, steam purity) and recommend tuning or cleaning activities.
Implement best practices for blowdown strategy, sootblowing sequencing, and drain/vent operations.
Documentation & Compliance
Maintain and update mechanical integrity records, inspection logs, and pressure-part design files.
Ensure all engineering work adheres to relevant codes, standards, and site-specific procedures.
Optimize heat-recovery performance by fine-tuning economizer and superheater designs and maintenance schedules.
Prioritize high-risk components for inspection and apply advanced metallurgical or protective measures to extend service life.
Leverage inspection data trends and corrosion rate analyses to forecast replacements and budget capital interventions.
Lead small-to-medium modification projects with strict adherence to MoC and minimal disruption to plant availability.
Embed boiler-house safety practices in all engineering activities, including high-pressure steam work and confined-space entry.
Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical or Thermal Engineering
Experience: 3–6 years in HRSG or boiler pressure-parts engineering within power generation or heavy industry
Certifications: ASME Code training (Section I/Section VIII), NDE awareness (UT/PT) preferred
Strong proficiency in heat-balance software and pressure-drop analysis tools
Hands-on experience with NDE techniques, thickness gauging, and metallurgy fundamentals
Ability to interpret P&IDs, GA drawings, and code requirements for pressure equipment
Excellent problem-solving, data analysis, and project management skills
Effective communication and coordination with cross-functional teams
On-site role in boiler house and HRSG areas; involves climbing, high-temperature exposure, and use of full PPE
Participation in outage and shutdown activities; occasional shift or on-call availability
Strict adherence to safety and boiler-house operational protocols
