As the Senior Boiler Engineer (HRSG & Pressure Parts), you will lead the lifecycle management, technical strategy, and continuous improvement of Heat Recovery Steam Generators and associated pressure-retaining components. You will serve as the technical authority for complex design, integrity, and performance challenges—driving reliability, safety, and thermal efficiency across the steam cycle.
Technical Leadership & Strategy
Define and champion engineering standards for HRSG pressure parts—economizers, superheaters, reheaters, drums, headers, and expansion joints.
Develop long-term integrity management plans, balancing risk, remaining life assessments, and capital renewal budgets.
Advanced Design & Analysis
Lead complex heat-balance, pressure-drop, and stress analyses; validate design modifications and uprate proposals.
Approve design packages (GA drawings, isometrics, datasheets) and guide junior engineers in technical best practices.
Integrity Inspection Programs
Oversee full-scope mechanical integrity inspections (UT, RT, PT, thickness gauging) and interpret metallurgical findings.
Implement corrosion‐monitoring and erosion‐tracking methodologies, recommending advanced mitigation (coatings, material upgrades).
Failure Investigation & Root Cause Analysis
Head cross-functional failure investigations of tube leaks, creep/degradation, vibration fatigue, or thermomechanical stresses.
Develop and execute corrective action plans—including engineering repairs, welding procedures, or replacement strategies.
Project & Modification Management
Lead brownfield projects such as bypass installations, capacity uprates, or materials-of-construction conversions under strict Management of Change (MoC).
Coordinate with OEMs, EPC contractors, and procurement to secure high-quality materials and ensure on-schedule delivery.
Performance Optimization
Monitor HRSG thermal performance metrics (approach temperature, delta-T, stack losses) and drive tuning or cleaning programs for peak efficiency.
Integrate predictive analytics and condition-monitoring data to pre-empt degradation and schedule proactive interventions.
Mentorship & Team Development
Mentor mid and junior engineers, providing coaching on engineering analysis, code compliance, and project execution.
Establish technical training modules, design reviews, and peer-review processes to uplift team capabilities.
Compliance & Documentation
Ensure all engineering work complies with ASME Section I & VIII, local boiler codes, and site safety standards.
Maintain up-to-date pressure-part documentation, inspection records, and engineering change logs.
Prioritize high-risk pressure parts for detailed inspection and life-extension strategies to prevent unplanned outages.
Leverage advanced analytics—corrosion trend charts, metallurgical data, vibration/thermography—to inform maintenance priorities.
Deliver complex modification projects on time and within budget, minimizing outage durations and ensuring quality handover.
Foster a culture of engineering rigor and continuous learning through technical forums, workshops, and design reviews.
Embed a safety-first mindset in all engineering activities, ensuring robust risk assessments and permit-to-work governance.
