Position Summary

The Mechanical Engineer & QC Manager will oversee all mechanical installation activities and ensure strict adherence to quality control standards across the electrical infrastructure project. This dual-role position ensures mechanical works (e.g., e-house re-assembly work HVAC systems, enclosures, cable containment, earthing systems) are executed per design specifications, and that all materials, workmanship, and processes comply with Electric and oil & gas industry quality standards. The role requires strong coordination with electrical, civil, and commissioning teams, as well as subcontractor oversight and client interfacing during inspections and audits.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical Engineering Scope

Supervise the installation of mechanical systems such as e-house re-assembly HVAC units, cable trays, enclosures, fire-rated penetrations, and earthing infrastructure. Ensure alignment between mechanical and electrical interface points to avoid installation clashes or rework. Validate drawings, redlines, and as-built documentation related to mechanical layouts. Oversee subcontractor performance in mechanical scope areas and ensure compliance with scope and schedule. Coordinate with electrical and civil disciplines to ensure integrated system functionality at substations.

Quality Control Scope

Develop and implement the Project Quality Plan and Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) for electrical and mechanical installations. Conduct site inspections, material verification, and test witnessing in line with contractual and Schneider Electric quality requirements. Maintain NCR (Non-Conformance Report) and CAPA (Corrective & Preventive Action) logs and drive resolution. Coordinate third-party and client inspections and handover documentation. Ensure all work complies with relevant standards (ISO 9001, IEC, IEEE, project- specific codes). Review and verify all quality dossiers for commissioning and handover stages. Provide daily and weekly QC reports to site management and client representatives.
