What you'll do

  • 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.

What they require

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials, Metallurgy, or equivalent.
  • 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).
  • 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
