Piping Engineer

Role overview

Responsibilities

• Conduct CAESAR II stress analysis for underground and above-ground pipelines and process piping.
• Evaluate static-equipment nozzle loads and analyze high-pressure, emulsion, produced-gas, vapor, and natural-gas lines.
• Apply ASME B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, and CSA Z662 requirements in piping stress analysis.
• Support technical and engineering quality aspects of piping-material purchase documents, including MRs and TBEs.
• Produce plant and overall plot plans for piping and provide technical direction to piping stress team members.
• Review mechanical equipment MRs and vendor documents for piping materials and components.
• Provide construction support through field engineering review when required.
• Contribute to multidisciplinary documents, including LDTs and P&IDs, and generate MSDs based on process conditions.
• Define piping design information such as wall thickness, hydro-test procedures, pressure, temperature, and winterization conditions.
• Provide value-engineering input, identify stress-related pipeline and process-piping issues, and select and design pipe supports.
• Comply with company and client piping standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Piping Engineering, or a similar field.
• 10+ years of engineering experience; field experience is an asset.
• APEGA P.Eng. and ability to authenticate piping documents and drawings.
• Oil and gas (SAGD) industry experience; mining, pipelines, gas treatment, gas compression packages, refineries, or upgraders are also acceptable.
• Experience in piping stress analysis, piping, piping-component material selection, and detailed piping-system design.
• Mandarin fluency is an asset.
• Analytical and strategic problem-solving, good written and verbal communication, teamwork, and ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

Workplace
