Job Title: Heat Exchanger Engineer – Turbo Generators (Power Plants)

Job Description:

As a Heat Exchanger Engineer specializing in turbo generators for power plants, you will be responsible for the design, analysis, optimization, and maintenance of heat exchanger systems integral to the efficient operation of turbo generators. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure that heat exchangers meet performance, safety, and regulatory standards, supporting both new installations and ongoing operations.

Additionally, you will also be responsible for the technical oversight, integration, and lifecycle support of heat exchangers procured from external vendors. Your role will focus on ensuring that vendor-supplied heat exchangers meet project specifications, performance requirements, and regulatory standards, while providing ongoing support throughout installation, commissioning, and operation.

Key Responsibilities:

· Design and develop heat exchanger systems for turbo generators, ensuring optimal thermal performance and reliability.

· Perform thermal and mechanical calculations, including heat transfer, pressure drop, and material selection, to support design and operational decisions.

· Conduct performance analysis and troubleshooting of existing heat exchanger systems, identifying and resolving issues related to fouling, corrosion, vibration, and thermal inefficiencies.

· Collaborate with project teams, including mechanical, electrical, and process engineers, to integrate heat exchangers into overall plant systems.

· Prepare technical documentation, including specifications, datasheets, and maintenance procedures.

· Support procurement by evaluating vendor proposals, reviewing technical bids, and participating in supplier qualification.

· Oversee installation, commissioning, and testing of heat exchangers on-site, ensuring compliance with project requirements and industry standards.

· Implement and monitor predictive and preventive maintenance programs to maximize equipment uptime and lifespan.

· Stay updated on industry trends, new technologies, and regulatory requirements related to heat exchangers and power plant operations.

· Ensure all work adheres to health, safety, and environmental regulations.

· Review and evaluate technical documentation, drawings, and specifications provided by heat exchanger vendors to ensure compliance with project and regulatory requirements.

· Act as the primary technical interface between internal project teams and external heat exchanger suppliers.

· Support the procurement process by participating in technical bid evaluations, supplier assessments, and clarification meetings.

· Coordinate and oversee factory acceptance tests (FAT), inspections, and quality assurance activities at vendor facilities.

· Provide technical support during the installation, commissioning, and start-up phases, ensuring proper integration of heat exchangers with turbo generator systems.

· Troubleshoot and resolve operational issues related to vendor-supplied heat exchangers, including performance deviations, leaks, fouling, or material concerns.

· Maintain comprehensive records of vendor communications, technical deviations, and change management throughout the project lifecycle.

· Develop and update maintenance procedures, spare parts lists, and training materials based on vendor recommendations and operational feedback.

· Monitor and analyze the performance of installed heat exchangers, coordinating with vendors for warranty claims, upgrades, or modifications as needed.

· Ensure all activities comply with health, safety, and environmental regulations, as well as company policies.

Qualifications:

· Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or a related field.

· Experience with heat exchanger systems in power plants or similar industrial environments, preferably with vendor management exposure.

· Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g., ASME, TEMA) and quality assurance processes.

· Strong communication, negotiation, and organizational skills.

· Ability to interpret technical documentation and coordinate with multidisciplinary teams and external suppliers.

· Excellent problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
