To deliver mechanical engineering expertise and ensure the successful completion of HA and HB-Bubo projects.
The HA and HB-Bubo initiatives are designed to deliver approximately 350-450 MSC/d of gas to NLNG Train-7 starting in 2029, alongside 25-30 kb/d of oil and condensate for export. Together, these projects are expected to supply roughly 25% of the total gas volume required for NLNG Train-7. The HA project has finalized its Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) in April 2025 and is currently concluding the tendering phase for project contracts. In contrast, the HB-Bubo project commenced FEED activities in the second quarter of 2026. The current timeline envisions a joint Final Investment Decision (FID) for both HA and HB-Bubo by the end of the first quarter of 2027. Recognizing the critical role these projects play in supporting NLNG Train-7 and ensuring the First Gas Date is met, the Joint Venture partners have approved a fully integrated and optimized approach to strengthen the business case and expedite further project enhancements.
The Senior Mechanical Engineer will provide technical guidance and assurance across all project phases—Conceptual, FEED, Detailed Design, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning—to ensure the integrity of design, technical, and operational aspects. This role entails overseeing all mechanical engineering tasks and deliverables for the HA and HB-Bubo projects.
