We are seeking a skilled engineer with a strong background in performance engineering and plant optimization to join our team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in monitoring and improving the efficiency of water treatment plants, pumping systems, and related equipment. This role requires a detail-oriented professional who can analyze operational data, identify inefficiencies, and recommend practical solutions to enhance system performance and energy use. The position is based on-site and demands hands-on involvement with plant operations and data validation.
Key Responsibilities
- Monitor the performance of water treatment plants, pumping systems, and associated equipment to ensure optimal operational efficiency.
- Validate SCADA and instrumentation data to guarantee accuracy and reliability in operational performance reporting.
- Perform pump performance calculations, hydraulic and energy analyses, as well as mass and water balance calculations.
- Conduct data validation and trend analysis to identify system losses, performance gaps, and opportunities for process optimization.
- Support functional and performance testing of plant equipment and recommend the most efficient operating combinations.
- Prepare detailed technical reports based on analysis and findings to support decision-making processes.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Energy, or Electrical Engineering from a reputable university.
- Minimum of five years of relevant experience in performance engineering or plant optimization.
- Proficiency in pump performance calculations, hydraulic and energy analysis, mass and water balance calculations, data validation, and trend analysis.
- Advanced skills in Microsoft Excel and technical reporting.
- Strong ability to interpret pump curves, Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), single-line diagrams, and instrumentation data.
- Familiarity with SCADA historians, calibrated metering systems, and performance monitoring tools.
Preferred Qualifications and Industry Background
- Experience in water pumping and transmission systems, water treatment plants, power generation, desalination facilities, or other energy-intensive process industries is highly desirable.
- Candidates with backgrounds in power plants, large-scale pumping schemes, water utilities, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), or reputable Operations & Maintenance (O&M) and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) organizations will be preferred.
This role offers the opportunity to work closely with operational teams to drive efficiency improvements in critical infrastructure. The successful candidate will contribute to enhancing plant reliability and sustainability through rigorous data analysis and practical engineering solutions. The position requires full-time, in-person attendance at the work location.
