• Monitor resource allocation (manpower, tools, bolting equipment, test rigs) and track progress using ERP/SAP systems.
• Ensure timely completion of piping outfitting milestones.

B. Pump Unit Installation & Alignment

• Supervise safe mounting, bedding, and precision alignment of all marine pumps (centrifugal, screw, gear) with coupled motors/drivers.
• Oversee preparation and pouring of chocks (epoxy/metal) to ensure vibration-free operation and Class approval for final alignment.

C. Valve and Component Installation

• Manage correct installation of all types of valves (globe, gate, butterfly, non-return) and specialty fittings (strainers, expansion joints, flanges).
• Ensure correct orientation, secure bolt tightening/torquing procedures, and maintain material traceability.

D. System Testing & Quality Control

• Coordinate with relevant teams to execute hydrostatic, pneumatic, and functional pressure testing of pipe sections and completed systems.
• Document leakage control and defect rectification at valve and flange joints.

E. Pre-Commissioning & Trials Support

• Execute pre-commissioning checks for pumps (rotation direction, lubrication) and valves (functional stroking, control valve calibration, limit switch checks).
• Support System Integration team during Harbour Acceptance Trials (HAT) for pump and valve system verification.

F. Documentation & Compliance

• Ensure all mandatory quality documentation (Alignment Reports, Bolt Tensioning Records, Pressure Test Certificates, Valve Logs) is accurately prepared, certified by Class, and submitted for final handover.
• Enforce rigorous Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment (QHSE) standards on-site, particularly during pressure testing and heavy lifting operations.

Qualifications, Experience, and Skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree (B.E./B.Tech) in Mechanical Engineering or Marine Engineering (mandatory).

Preferred Experience

• 8–12 years in Shipbuilding/Ship Repair sector.
• 4–6 years focused on Piping Outfitting, specifically installation, alignment, and testing of Pumps and Valves in a supervisory/in-charge capacity.

Functional and Behavioral Competency

• Expert knowledge of marine piping standards (materials, codes, schedules), pump alignment methods (laser/dial gauge), valve installation procedures, and all types of piping system pressure testing (Hydro/Pneumatic).
• Deep understanding of Class rules (IACS, IRS, DNV) for fluid system installation.
• Strong technical leadership, execution management, and problem-solving skills to resolve complex piping interface issues.
• Proven ability to read and interpret Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).
• Demonstrated ability to manage large field teams while maintaining quality and adhering to schedules.
