Lead Mechanical EngineerSUEZ

The Lead Mechanical Engineer Isresponsible for managing operationally a team of mechanical engineers for agiven project (water / wastewater treatment plant). He is responsible for the technical definition of the various requiredequipment, for the technical evaluation of the suppliers and for the interfaceswith the other engineering disciplines. He manages the production of the mechanical team (and/or producesdirectly), is responsible for the work distribution for the mechanicaldiscipline, for the checking of the design deliverables (technicalspecifications, equipment calculation notes, vendors technical comparisontables), and ensures that the deliverables related to the mechanical disciplineare produced within time, quality and budget. He is part of the project engineering team, which is ledby one Engineering Manager / Technical Coordinator.

For project execution:

• The Lead Mechanical Engineer leads the team of mechanical engineers who havethe following tasks
• Production of calculation notes for sizing of equipment (such asTMH for pumps, discharge pressure for blowers, service air consumption, room ventilation flow rate,etc.)
• Preparation of equipment specification for inquiry, based on clientspecification, process requirements, equipment environmental information, calculation notes andinstallation conditions. Definition of performance guarantees for theequipment.
• Checking suppliers' offers (compliance with the inquiry), seeking fortechnical optimization of the offers
• Preparation of the technical comparison table with the suppliers' offers,technical ranking of the offers, and participation to the selection of thesupplier together with the engineering manager, project buyer and projectmanager
• Preparation of the technical specification to be included to the purchaseorder
• Follow up and review of the engineering documentation provided by thesupplier once purchase order has been placed.
• Preparation and regular updates of the equipment list
• Management of the interfaces with the other disciplines (design office,electricity, process, hydraulics…) for all matters related to the equipmentunder his/her responsibility.
• Depending on the project and the progress, the Lead MechanicalEngineer can be directly in charge of the tasks above.

In addition, the Lead Mechanical Engineer is directly responsiblefor the following, on the project assigned to him/her:

• Distributing the work between the mechanical engineers
• Ensuring their production is made according to project schedule
• Checking all deliverables produced by the mechanical team(technical review of the documents)
• Following the productivity of the mechanical team of the project
• Working closely with the Project Buyer and Expediter
• Identifying technical risks / opportunities linked to the mechanical disciplineand working closely with the Engineering Manager / Project Manager to securethem.

• Minimum of 10 years' experience..
• With at least 5 years' experience as Mechanical Engineer for water / wastewater treatment plant projects, or petro chemical projects, during engineering phase (basic / detailed design).
• Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering
• Registered Mechanical Engineer is an advantage.
• Knowledge of equipment commonly used in the industry (preferably for water / wastewater treatment plants).
• Knowledge of water treatment process and their standard technologies, material of construction, corrosion.
• Competences in hydraulic / aeraulic calculations (piping head losses, TMH calculation).
• Leadership, capacity to manage operationally a small team. Meticulous, committed, structured.
• Time management and organizational skills.
• Communication skills as a team member.
