Job Description
Job Title: Lead Engineer – BFP, CEP & Drive Turbine (Owner’s Engineer Role)
🎯 Job Purpose
To lead the technical review and oversight of Boiler Feed Pump (motor and turbine-driven), Condensate Extraction Pump, and Drive Turbine systems offered by the EPC contractor. Ensure compliance with project specifications, applicable standards, and long-term performance and reliability objectives.
🛠️ Key Responsibilities
A. Engineering Review & Oversight
• Lead review of Basic Engineering Design Documents (BEDDs), technical specifications, data sheets, and GA drawings for:
• Motor-driven and turbine-driven Boiler Feed Pumps (BFP)
• Drive Turbine (DT) for BFP
• Condensate Extraction Pumps (CEP)
• Evaluate mechanical and hydraulic design of pumps including:
• Head, flow, efficiency, NPSH requirements
• Pump casing design, bearing configuration, seal systems
• Turbine drive ratings, performance curves, speed/load matching
• Ensure integration of pumps and drive turbines with steam cycle heat balance, auxiliaries, and piping systems.
• Review instrumentation and control philosophy for pump protection, startup interlocks, and emergency handling.
• Check compatibility with process conditions (pressure, temperature, fluid properties) and site-specific conditions.
B. Vendor Document Review & Technical Evaluation
• Review vendor documents including:
• Fabrication drawings, QA/QC plans, rotor dynamics, performance test procedures
• Thermal and mechanical loading, support configuration, baseplate design
• Participate in Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) or Performance Guarantee Tests (PGT) as needed.
• Coordinate technical clarifications and design modifications with EPC and OEM vendors.
C. Interface & System Integration
• Verify proper mechanical interfaces with:
• TG Island piping (suction/discharge)
• Control oil system and steam supply/return piping for drive turbine
• Foundation, support base, and auxiliaries
• Validate mechanical integration of pumps and drive turbine within BOP systems (e.g., steam cycle, cooling water).
• Participate in 3D model review for layout verification and maintainability access.
D. Construction & Commissioning Support
• Provide support for installation and alignment procedures of pumps and turbine drive sets.
• Assist in resolving site issues related to vibration, thermal growth, alignment, or sealing problems.
• Review and approve commissioning plans for BFP/CEP/Drive Turbine systems.
🎓 Required Qualifications
• B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering
• 12–15+ years of experience in rotating equipment engineering, particularly in thermal power plant applications
• Hands-on experience in BFP (motor- and turbine-driven) and CEP system engineering
• Experience with Owner’s Engineer or EPC project execution for large-scale thermal plants
📘 Preferred Skills & Knowledge
• In-depth understanding of:
• Pump affinity laws, rotor dynamics, and shaft alignment
• Seal systems, control oil and lube oil systems
• Vibration monitoring systems and protection instrumentation
• Familiarity with relevant codes/standards (API, ASME, HEI, NEMA, ISO)
• Experience with major OEMs (e.g., KSB, Sulzer, BHEL, Flowserve, ClydeUnion)
💡 Competencies
• Strong leadership in multidisciplinary engineering reviews
• Excellent documentation, report writing, and communication skills
• Ability to lead design meetings, FATs, and interface resolution
• Proactive approach to problem-solving and cross-team coordination
