The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to join Beca’s site-based Engineering Support Services team supporting PT Freeport Indonesia in Gresik, East Java.
The Mechanical Engineer will support engineering investigations, design activities, equipment and piping modifications, and technical queries across mechanical plant and associated piping systems.
Working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, the role will develop practical engineering solutions that consider safety, plant operations, constructability, maintainability and integration with existing facilities.
This position would suit a Mechanical Engineer with experience across mechanical equipment and industrial piping systems, particularly within existing industrial or process plants.
Responsibilities
As part of the site-based engineering team, you will:
- Investigate mechanical equipment, piping systems and plant issues and define engineering requirements.
- Develop practical engineering solutions for equipment installations, replacements, piping modifications and plant improvements.
- Prepare and review mechanical and piping calculations, datasheets, specifications, scopes of work and technical reports.
- Support the selection and specification of pumps, tanks, vessels, material-handling equipment and other mechanical plant.
- Review and develop piping arrangements, piping specifications and associated mechanical design documentation.
- Review P&IDs and piping layouts and assess piping interfaces with existing plant and equipment.
- Support piping material selection, line sizing and hydraulic or pressure-drop calculations where required.
- Review equipment layouts, general arrangements, mechanical drawings and vendor documentation.
- Undertake site inspections, equipment assessments and field verification of existing mechanical and piping systems.
- Assess interfaces with existing equipment, structures, piping, utilities, electrical systems and site operations.
- Coordinate mechanical and piping requirements with process, electrical, instrumentation, civil and structural disciplines.
- Review supplier and contractor technical information against project requirements.
- Participate in design reviews, constructability reviews, risk assessments and technical workshops.
- Respond to technical queries and requests for information arising during implementation or construction.
- Provide engineering support for installation, testing, commissioning and handover activities where required.
- Maintain clear records of engineering calculations, assumptions, decisions and design changes.
- Apply applicable mechanical and piping standards, Beca quality procedures and site health, safety and environmental requirements.

- Practical experience with both mechanical equipment and industrial piping systems.
- Experience specifying and assessing rotating and static mechanical equipment.
- Experience reviewing or preparing P&IDs, piping layouts, piping specifications and associated calculations.
- A good understanding of piping materials, valves, piping components and equipment/piping interfaces.
- Experience preparing engineering calculations, specifications, datasheets, equipment schedules and technical reports.
- Experience investigating existing equipment and piping systems and developing modifications for brownfield facilities.
- Familiarity with relevant mechanical and piping codes and standards, including ASME and API, as applicable to the work.
- An understanding of equipment and piping installation, constructability, maintainability and commissioning requirements.
- Strong analytical and practical problem-solving skills.
- Good technical writing and documentation skills.
- Good written and verbal communication skills in Bahasa Indonesia and English.
- The ability to communicate effectively with clients, operators, engineers, designers, contractors and suppliers.
- Willingness and availability to work full-time at the project site in Gresik.
