- Work on the selection and specification of pumps, blowers, mixers, screens, aeration systems, and sludge-handling equipment.
- Review vendor quotations, technical specifications, and equipment datasheets.
- Evaluate supplier drawings and technical submissions to ensure compliance with design requirements.
- Coordinate with procurement and vendors to resolve technical queries.

**3. Engineering Calculations**
- Perform equipment sizing and mechanical engineering calculations.
- Carry out pump and pipeline sizing based on flow requirements and operating conditions.
- Calculate pressure losses, flow rates, and equipment power requirements.
- Verify technical parameters to ensure equipment performance, reliability, and operational efficiency.
- Review calculations and incorporate necessary changes during the design process.

**4. Technical Drawings & Documentation**
- Prepare and review mechanical engineering drawings and technical documents.
- Develop General Arrangement (GA) drawings, equipment layouts, and piping layouts.
- Review Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) in coordination with process engineering teams.
- Prepare material submittals, technical specifications, and fabrication-related drawings.
- Maintain design documentation and ensure timely submission as per project schedules.

**5. Project Coordination & Site Support**
- Coordinate with civil, electrical, and process engineering teams to ensure proper integration of mechanical systems.
- Work with vendors, contractors, and project teams to resolve design-related issues.
- Provide engineering support during equipment installation and alignment activities.
- Assist during testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting of mechanical equipment.
- Address technical issues arising at project sites and recommend suitable engineering solutions.

### Required Skills & Qualifications
