Job Description

Job Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the design and specification of gas detection and fire suppression systems for fuel systems in gas turbine power plants. Ensure all designs comply with international and regional safety standards and codes (e.g., NFPA, IEC, ISO, ATEX). Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate safety systems into fuel skid designs. Conduct hazard and risk analyses to identify and mitigate potential safety issues. Oversee installation and commissioning of safety systems, ensuring operational readiness. Develop and execute test protocols to validate system performance and compliance. Provide technical guidance and support during audits, inspections, and regulatory reviews.

Key Competencies:

Minimum 20 years of experience in designing and implementing liquid and gas fuel systems for gas turbines. Proven expertise in gas detection technologies (e.g., infrared, catalytic bead, electrochemical sensors). Strong background in fire suppression systems (e.g., CO?, FM-200, NOVEC 1230, water mist). In-depth knowledge of safety codes and standards applicable to fuel systems and turbine environments. Experience in hazard identification, HAZOP, and risk mitigation. Hands-on experience in system testing and validation. Experience in supplier vetting and engagement for safety system components.

Excellent documentation and communication skills.
