The Mid-Level Mechanical Engineer – Turbine Sourcing and Technical Evaluation plays a key role in the procurement lifecycle by leading the technical assessment and selection of gas and steam turbines and associated systems. This role bridges engineering and supply chain functions, ensuring sourced equipment meets all technical, performance, and lifecycle requirements for capital projects and operational upgrades.
Analyze OEM proposals and technical submissions for turbine packages, auxiliaries, and balance-of-plant components.
Ensure compliance with engineering specifications, industry standards (API, ASME, ISO), and project performance criteria.
Participate in supplier prequalification processes by assessing design capabilities, manufacturing standards, and past project performance.
Collaborate with supply chain and engineering teams to shortlist technically compliant and commercially competitive vendors.
Lead the preparation of technical bid evaluations (TBE) and coordinate technical clarifications with vendors and internal stakeholders.
Perform side-by-side comparisons of vendor offerings based on efficiency, footprint, performance guarantees, and total cost of ownership.
Support development of RFQs, technical annexes, and input to contract scopes related to turbine packages.
Assist in negotiations by providing detailed technical justifications for final vendor selection and performance expectations.
Identify technical and lifecycle risks in vendor proposals, including material selection, integration compatibility, and maintenance concerns.
Ensure alignment with reliability, maintainability, and HSE (health, safety, environmental) criteria.
Provide input on lifecycle aspects such as spare parts availability, maintenance intervals, and upgradeability during sourcing decisions.
Coordinate with O&M teams for feedback on installed fleet performance to guide future sourcing.
Technical sourcing and evaluation of gas and steam turbines (driver and driven equipment)
Integration of lifecycle, maintenance, and reliability considerations in sourcing decisions
Alignment with international codes (API 612/617, ASME, ISO 3977) and project specifications
Cross-functional coordination between procurement, engineering, and project execution teams
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (Master’s preferred or in progress)
Experience: 4–8 years in mechanical engineering, equipment sourcing, or rotating machinery evaluation; experience with turbines or compressors required
Technical Expertise:
Solid understanding of gas/steam turbine operating principles and auxiliary systems
Familiarity with API/ASME standards and technical bid evaluation practices
Experience with industrial projects in energy, power generation, oil & gas, or process industries
