Job Summary

• The role is responsible for leading the technical development, construction, and operationalization of a gas infrastructure project, specifically a CNG/LNG Plant.


• The Project Engineer provides end-to-end engineering oversight, ensuring technical excellence, regulatory compliance, safety, and value optimization throughout project lifecycles.


• The successful candidate will act as the technical representative of the Owner, interfacing with EPC contractors, OEMs, regulatory bodies, and internal stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Project Development & Engineering Leadership:

• Lead the front-end engineering design (FEED), detailed engineering, and technical specification development of gas infrastructure projects.


• Evaluate and optimize technology options for compression, gas storage, transport logistics, and decompression systems.


• Ensure that all engineering designs are fit-for-purpose, scalable, and aligned with project business cases.

Owner’s Engineering Oversight:

• Serve as the technical custodian of the project, ensuring that the EPC contractor’s engineering deliverables meet contractual, regulatory, and performance requirements.


• Conduct rigorous technical reviews and provide approval for key design documents (e.g., PFDs, P&IDs, layout drawings, HAZOP reports).


• Manage technical interfaces between project stakeholders – including OEMs, transport operators, and utilities.

Project Implementation:

• Support project execution by providing real-time engineering advice during procurement, fabrication, construction, commissioning, and start-up phases.


• Ensure integration of safety, operability, and maintainability in design and implementation.


• Coordinate Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), and performance validation processes.

Regulatory and Compliance Assurance:

• Ensure engineering designs and construction activities comply with all applicable industry codes, standards, and regulatory requirements (e.g., DPR/NUPRC, NSI, ASME, API).
