Mechanical Integrity Engineer
Intertek Multinational Company Leader in ATIC (Assurance, Testing, Inspection, Certification) is seeking experienced Fitness-For-Service Mechanical Integrity Engineers for upcoming work related to Brownfield EPC modifications, revamp projects, and operational integrity programs across multiple Energy assets, on a on call basis. This role focuses on evaluating existing equipment, legacy systems, and in-service degradation to support engineering decisions related to re-rating, tie-ins, life extension, defect assessment, and mechanical integrity assurance.
The FFS Mechanical Integrity Engineer provides technical authority in API 579/ASME FFS-1 assessments and mechanical integrity engineering, ensuring that all evaluations and recommendations are technically defensible, compliant with international codes, and aligned with Client integrity requirements.
Responsabilities:
- Perform API 579 Level 1 and Level 2 FFS assessments for metal loss, pitting, LTAs, crack-like flaws, dents, gouges, creep, and high-temperature damage on in-service assets
- Conduct remaining life evaluations, safe operating limit assessments, and engineering recommendations for continued operation, derating, or repair
- Interpret inspection and NDT data (both advanced and conventional methods) and correlate findings with applicable damage mechanisms
- Support Level 3 assessments through stress analysis and FEA tools when required
- Perform mechanical integrity evaluations for pressure vessels, piping, tanks, and static equipment, including rerating, repair justification, and alteration assessments
- Evaluate legacy equipment for revamp, tie-in, and re-use scenarios during Brownfield EPC projects
- Review historical inspection data, operational records, and EPC deliverables to validate inputs for FFS and Mechanical Integrity assessments
- Provide technical input to repair plans, temporary repairs, and life-extension strategies in accordance with API 579, API 510/570, and ASME codes
- Contribute to RBI programs by validating degradation mechanisms, PoF inputs, inspection strategies, and risk-ranking logic
- Prepare detailed FFS reports, engineering justifications, and recommendations for Client Asset Integrity / EPC teams
- Interface with Corrosion, Mechanical, Process, and Inspection teams to resolve data gaps and ensure alignment across disciplines
- Ensure all FFS work complies with API 579/ASME FFS-1, ASME VIII, B31.3, API 510/570, and Client standards
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials, Metallurgy, or equivalent. Master's degree in Mechanical Integrity or related field is an advantage
- Proven experience in mechanical integrity engineering, including rerating, repair evaluation, and static equipment integrity
- Minimum 5 years demonstrable experience performing FFS assessments.
- Experience with software / tools for Level 2 and Level 3 assessments
- API 579 training and demonstrated competency in performing FFS assessments (mandatory)
- API 510 and/or API 570 certifications preferred
- API 571 familiarity is beneficial for damage mechanism correlation.
- ASME or FEA-related training is an advantage
- Deep expertise in API 579/ASME FFS-1 methodology and its application to in-service pressurized equipment
- Strong understanding of stress analysis, fracture mechanics, remaining life calculations, and structural integrity principles
- Proficiency in interpreting inspection and NDT data for flaw evaluation and defect characterization
- Advanced proficiency with FFS software tools
- Thorough understanding of ASME VIII, ASME B31.3, API 510/570, and related mechanical integrity codes
- Ability to integrate FFS and Mechanical Integrity results into revamp decisions, repair scopes, and operational integrity strategies
