Mechanical Integrity Engineer – Pressure Vessels and Tanks

The Junior Mechanical Integrity Engineer supports the inspection, assessment, and maintenance of pressure vessels and storage tanks to ensure compliance with safety, regulatory, and operational standards. Working under the supervision of senior engineers, the role assists with data analysis, inspection planning, code interpretation, and report preparation for fixed mechanical equipment.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Inspection Planning & Support:

• Assist in preparing inspection schedules for pressure vessels, storage tanks, heat exchangers, and other static equipment.

• Support field inspections and data collection during internal/external visual inspections, UT thickness checks, and NDE activities.

• Coordinate with inspection teams and maintenance personnel during shutdowns and turnarounds.

2. Mechanical Integrity Data Management:

• Collect, organize, and validate inspection records, drawings, and equipment data.

• Enter inspection findings, corrosion rates, and thickness data into asset integrity software or spreadsheets.

• Monitor asset histories and highlight areas requiring detailed evaluation.

3. Code & Standards Application:

• Learn and apply ASME Section VIII, API 510, API 570, API 653, and related codes under supervision.

• Assist in performing preliminary fitness-for-service assessments or corrosion evaluations.

4. Reporting & Documentation:

• Draft technical reports, condition summaries, and inspection findings.

• Prepare checklists, templates, and work packs for planned inspections.

• Maintain accurate records to support regulatory compliance and audits.

5. Cross-Functional Coordination:

• Work with maintenance, inspection, operations, and safety teams to understand asset conditions and mechanical integrity requirements.

• Participate in toolbox talks and safety briefings related to vessel and tank inspections.

Key Focus Areas:

1. Support in Mechanical Integrity of Pressure Vessels, Tanks, and Static Equipment

2. Inspection Planning, Data Collection, and Recordkeeping

3. Basic Application of Codes and Standards (API, ASME, NBIC)

4. Thickness Monitoring and Corrosion Tracking

5. Asset Integrity Software and Documentation

6. Field Exposure to Non-Destructive Testing (NDT/NDE)

7. Learning Fitness-for-Service and RBI Principles

Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or related field.

• 0–3 years of experience or internship in asset integrity, maintenance, or inspection-related roles.

• Basic knowledge of pressure vessel design and failure mechanisms.

• Familiarity with codes such as API 510, API 653, ASME Section VIII is an advantage.

Skills & Competencies:

• Eagerness to learn mechanical integrity processes and standards

• Attention to detail and ability to work in field environments

• Proficient in Microsoft Office and basic asset integrity tools

• Clear technical writing and communication skills

• Ability to follow safety procedures and work with multidisciplinary teams
