About the Role

Pinaka Green develops and owns green hydrogen plants on a BOO/BOOT basis — which means every engineering and execution decision is ours to own, not our EPC or PMC vendor's. As our Owner's Engineer, you are Pinaka's eyes, mind, and voice across the full project lifecycle. You do not design the plant — that is the EPC's job.

You ensure the EPC designs it right. You do not write the DPR — that is the consultant's job. You ensure it is rigorous, bankable, and consistent with Pinaka's standards. You raise concerns early, hold vendors to account, and make sure nothing technically or commercially unsound passes through on Pinaka's watch.

This role spans five areas — process engineering (technical integrity of design, DPR, and all engineering deliverables), process safety engineering (safety philosophy and hydrogen-specific hazard management), project engineering (schedule, cost, procurement, FAT, and construction oversight), commissioning & startup (pre-commissioning through first hydrogen and performance guarantee tests), and operations & maintenance (EPC-to-O&M; handover, training, and defect liability support).

All five serve one purpose: protecting Pinaka's technical and commercial interests as project owner.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

A. Process Engineering — Technical Review & DPR Ownership

- Opportunity discovery & FSR — Lead early-stage feasibility: develop the Feasibility Study Report (FSR), screen sites, size demand, and stress-test techno-commercial viability so only opportunities worth pursuing move forward.
- DPR ownership — Own the Detailed Project Report end-to-end across process basis, equipment list, CAPEX/OPEX, utilities, and safety philosophy; ensure it is bankable and fit for lender and investor scrutiny. The DPR is not accepted until you sign off.
- Engineering deliverable review — Review PFDs, P&IDs;, datasheets, simulations, cause-and-effect diagrams, and layouts for correctness and conformance to the design basis. Flag gaps and deviations — do not let them pass.
- Design basis stewardship — Ensure EPC and vendors work to a consistent design basis aligned with Pinaka's standards; raise formal deviations when scope or specifications drift.




- Regulatory compliance oversight — Ensure PESO, SMPV(U), GCR, and statutory submissions are prepared correctly; review before they go out; coordinate with regulators as Pinaka's technical representative.
- Technical query resolution — Respond to RFIs and technical queries from EPC and vendors in coordination with the Founder; keep responses sound and properly documented.

B. Process Safety Engineering

- HAZOP and safety review representation — Represent Pinaka at HAZOP, SIL, and LOPA sessions; judge study quality and track action closure on Pinaka's behalf.
- Process safety ownership — Own safety philosophy, relief and blowdown, hazardous area classification, F&G;, and ESD logic; ensure hydrogen consequence modelling (dispersion, jet fire, vapour cloud) is defensible and all safety actions are closed before commissioning.

C. Project Engineering — Execution & Compliance

- Schedule & cost oversight — Review and challenge the EPC/PMC schedule and CAPEX tracker; surface milestone and budget risks early; escalate to the Founder with options, not just problems.
- EPC/PMC performance management — Serve as Pinaka's day-to-day interface with EPC and PMC; run progress meetings, track open actions, and hold vendors to contractual commitments.
- Procurement oversight — Review MRs, TBEs, and vendor selections for key packages (electrolysers, compressors, PSA, control systems); ensure choices align with Pinaka's specs.
- RFQ and vendor cost discovery — Float RFQs independently of the EPC where needed; build a benchmark cost database for key equipment and services; pressure-test EPC/PMC cost submissions against market quotes.
- FAT and inspection representation — Attend FATs and pre-delivery inspections on Pinaka's behalf; review protocols, witness outcomes,



and approve or reject equipment before dispatch.
- Construction oversight — Conduct periodic site visits; verify execution against drawings, specs, and HSE norms; review and accept punch list closures.

D. Commissioning & Startup

- Commissioning and startup oversight — Represent Pinaka through pre-commissioning, commissioning, and first hydrogen — approve procedures, witness loop checks, leak tests, and purging; verify performance guarantee tests meet contractual KPIs before acceptance.

E. Operations & Maintenance

- Support to O&M; team — Bridge the EPC-to-O&M; handover; support troubleshooting, warranty claims, and root-cause analysis during the defect liability period; feed lessons learned back into the design basis.
- Training — Coordinate operator and engineer training from EPC and OEM vendors; verify scope, materials, and competency assessments before sign-off; build Pinaka's internal training library from each project.
- Document control and handover — Ensure complete as-built documentation, MRBs, and O&M; manuals are delivered to Pinaka's standards at mechanical completion and final handover.

Qualifications

- Candidates should possess strong Process Engineering and Process Design skills, including experience with process simulation tools and development of PFDs and P&IDs.;
- Candidates should possess Process Control and Analytical Skills to design control strategies, interpret plant data, and optimize performance and safety.
- Candidates should possess a solid foundation in Chemical Engineering, preferably with exposure to hydrogen, oil & gas, or related process industries.
- Relevant experience with safety standards, HAZOP/HAZID, and risk assessments in process plants is beneficial.
- A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Chemical Engineering or a related engineering discipline is preferred.
- Strong communication skills, ability to work in multidisciplinary teams, and a hands-on approach to in office problem solving are expected.
- Familiarity with Indian regulatory frameworks, industry codes, and standards related to hydrogen or process plants is an advantage.
