4. Testing and Commissioning:

   • Help with testing pump skid systems during the commissioning phase to ensure they operate according to design specifications and meet performance standards.
   • Assist senior engineers in troubleshooting any issues that arise during the testing phase and work to resolve problems promptly.
   • Perform basic diagnostic tests to ensure proper system functionality and assist in optimizing the system performance.

5. Documentation and Reporting:

   • Assist in preparing technical documentation such as system layouts, design specifications, operation manuals, and test reports.
   • Maintain accurate records of design changes, system configurations, and performance test results.
   • Help organize and prepare reports on the progress of design tasks, installations, and testing activities.

6. Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams:

   • Work with engineers, project managers, procurement teams, and installation teams to ensure that pump skid systems meet project requirements and are delivered on schedule.
   • Communicate effectively with team members to address design and installation challenges and ensure that tasks are completed efficiently.

7. Safety and Compliance:

   • Assist in ensuring that pump skid systems comply with industry safety standards and regulatory codes (e.g., ASME, API, OSHA).
   • Follow established safety protocols during system assembly, installation, and testing to ensure a safe working environment.
   • Help identify and address potential safety risks during design and installation phases.

8. Learning and Development:

   • Continuously develop knowledge of pump skid systems, fluid dynamics, and mechanical systems through on-the-job training and collaboration with senior engineers.
   • Take part in training programs to improve technical expertise in mechanical and electrical systems, as well as pump selection and system design.

Skills and Knowledge Required:

• Basic understanding of pump systems, fluid mechanics, and mechanical design principles.
• Familiarity with CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks) for creating design drawings and layouts.
• Strong understanding of mechanical and electrical systems integration, including pumps, motors, valves, and piping.
• Ability to work with mechanical and electrical tools, troubleshoot basic technical issues, and understand equipment specifications.
• Good communication skills for effective collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Strong attention to detail and a willingness to learn.
• Ability to follow technical specifications, safety guidelines, and standard procedures.

Field Instrumentation: Assist in maintaining and calibrating field devices for accurate process control.

Troubleshooting: Learn basic fault diagnosis and support the resolution of issues in instrumentation systems.

Safety Compliance: Follow safety protocols and participate in training programs to ensure workplace safety.

Skill Development: Gain technical knowledge and experience in oil and gas field operations.

Educational Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Relevant coursework or academic projects in pump systems, fluid mechanics, or mechanical design is a plus.

Experience:

• 1-2 years of experience in mechanical design, pump systems, or related engineering fields.
• Internships, academic projects, or hands-on experience with pump systems, mechanical systems, or CAD design is beneficial but not required.

Tools and Technologies:

• Familiarity with CAD software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar design tools.
• Basic understanding of pump system components (e.g., pumps, motors, valves) and their integration.
• Exposure to mechanical or electrical testing equipment for pump system testing and troubleshooting is beneficial.

Other Requirements:

• Eagerness to learn and develop hands-on experience in pump skid design, installation, and testing.
• Strong work ethic and ability to follow instructions and work under supervision.
• Willingness to work in a team-oriented environment and contribute to project success.
• Ability to work in a safety-conscious environment and follow all relevant safety protocols and regulations
