Vmechanical Maintenance Engineer

 

Description:

We are hiring a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer to own heat exchanger servicing and shutdown/turnaround execution: retubing, tube plugging, bundle repair, cleaning and testing in our Mussafah workshop, plus site campaigns — bundle pulls, on-site piping jobs and valve replacement — inside client turnaround windows, onshore and offshore.

You will run work under our long-term heat exchanger maintenance agreements with ADNOC group companies, EGA and Borouge, and on refinery and offshore turnaround campaigns.

 

What You Will Do

•   Own heat exchanger servicing jobs end-to-end: receipt or site inspection, repair scoping, execution, testing, documentation, dispatch.

•   Inspect shell & tube bundles and produce as-found condition reports (photos, measurements, tube condition) within 24–48 hours; support quotations with quick man-hour and material estimates.

•   Execute retubing, tube plugging, bundle repairs, gasket replacement, mechanical/chemical cleaning, and hydrostatic/pneumatic testing.

•   Deliver shutdown and turnaround (STO/TAR) scopes: bundle extraction to box-up, site piping and valve installation/replacement inside the outage window.

•   Make repair-vs-replace recommendations; document and secure client approval for scope growth once units are opened.

•   Lead supervisors, technicians and multinational crews across day/night shifts; mobilise at short notice.

•   Own quality documentation: ITPs, dimensional and test records, as-found/as-left reports and final dossiers.

•   Work to permit-to-work, confined-space and client HSE requirements on ADNOC-type sites.

 

What We Are Looking For

•   B.Eng. in Mechanical or Maintenance Engineering — hands-on capability weighs more than paper qualifications.

•   3–7 years in heat exchanger servicing, static equipment maintenance or turnaround contracting.

•   Practical shell & tube experience: retubing, tube plugging, bundle repair, leak and pressure testing.

•   Site experience with piping jobs and valve installation/replacement.

•   Shutdown/turnaround experience in refinery, gas plant or petrochemical environments; confident in PTW and confined-space culture.

•   English confident enough for client-facing site communication and reporting.

Preferred / a plus:

•   TEMA nomenclature, API 660/661 awareness; plate heat exchanger (PHE) refurbishment exposure.

•   Valid ADNOC site passes/inductions; offshore experience.

•   Estimation exposure (pricing repair scopes); night-shift crew leadership.
