Main responsibilities
Position Overview
The Walkdown Mechanical & Piping Engineer is responsible for conducting systematic field inspections (walkdowns) of all mechanical and piping systems during construction, pre-commissioning, and commissioning stages. The role ensures full compliance with design, specifications, quality standards, project procedures, and safety requirements.
The engineer identifies punch items, coordinates resolution with construction teams, verifies readiness for mechanical completion (MC), pre-commissioning (PC), and commissioning (C).

Key Responsibilities
1. Field Walkdowns & Inspections
Perform detailed walkdowns of mechanical and piping systems according to ITP, drawings, and project standards.
Verify installed equipment, piping, supports, valves, rotating/static equipment against latest AFC drawings and specifications.
Check welding, NDT, painting/coating, tagging, insulation, and identification according to quality requirements.
Confirm line completeness using P&IDs, piping isometrics, and line walk procedures.
Ensure preservation activities are properly implemented and recorded.
2. Punch List Management
Identify, classify, and record punch items (A/B/C categories).
Enter findings into the project punch list system (SharePoint, CMS, MCPlus, or similar).
Coordinate punch item resolution with construction supervisors, contractors, and QC teams.
Re-inspect and close punch items to confirm compliance.
Provide daily/weekly updates to the Mechanical Completion Lead.
3. Mechanical Completion (MC) & Pre-Commissioning Support
Verify system readiness for MC handover, PC, and commissioning stages.
Participate in system subsystem walkdowns with the MC, QC, and Commissioning teams.
Confirm completion of hydrotest packages, pressure testing documentation, NDT records, and reinstatement.
Review piping test packages, line lists, and checklists.
Validate vendor equipment installation and alignment (rotating machines, pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, tanks).
Witness flushing, cleaning, and reinstatement activities.
4. Documentation & Reporting
Maintain accurate walkdown records, punch lists, photographs, and status updates.
Prepare daily/weekly reports on progress, critical items, and risks.
Ensure all documents are aligned with project turnover requirements (MC Dossiers).
Support compilation of mechanical completion dossiers for each system/subsystem.
5. Coordination & Communication
Work closely with Construction Managers, Piping Supervisors, QC Inspectors, and Commissioning Engineers.
Participate in progress meetings, punch list review meetings, and readiness reviews.
Communicate technical issues clearly and propose practical solutions for field conditions.
Support interfaces between piping, mechanical, structural, electrical, and instrumentation teams.
6. Safety
Ensure all walkdowns follow project HSE requirements.
Report unsafe conditions, participate in toolbox talks, and follow PTW rules.
Stop Work Authority when unsafe conditions are observed.
