* Tender engineering and technical compliance.
Desired Standards / Certification Exposure
Prior working knowledge or exposure to relevant standards and certification requirements such as:
* ATEX
* IECEx
* IEC standards
* EN standards
* ISO standards
* Relevant hazardous-area classification requirements
* GCC Oil & Gas specifications
* Customer / EPC-specific engineering standards
Practical experience in applying these requirements to actual HVAC product designs is essential.
Qualifications
Required:
* Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering / Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
* 12+ years of relevant engineering experience, preferably within industrial HVAC, Oil & Gas or hazardous-area equipment.
* Proven experience leading a technical/design engineering team.
* Demonstrated experience in product design and engineering for Oil & Gas applications.
* Prior experience with ATEX-certified or hazardous-area products.
* Experience in tender engineering and technical submissions.
Preferred:
* Experience with EPC contractors and Oil & Gas companies.
* Experience with GCC and international projects.
* Exposure to CIS market requirements.
* Experience working with certification agencies and third-party inspection bodies.
* Experience in customized / engineered-to-order HVAC products.
Key Competencies
