Senior Piping Engineer

Overview

Role Purpose

• Lead piping engineering activities on small to large projects and/or support the Principal/Lead Engineer in managing piping engineering on major scopes, delivering safe, compliant and constructible designs in an EPC/EPCM environment.
• Provide strong technical delivery with particular strength in piping stress analysis, pipe supports, piping materials engineering and procurement support, while supervising and mentoring less experienced engineers/designers.
• Execute piping engineering work independently with sound engineering judgement, ensuring quality, schedule and budget commitments are met and interfaces are managed effectively across disciplines, vendors and construction.

Key Accountabilities & Responsibilities

• HSE, SEAL & Safety in Design
• + Demonstrate visible commitment to HSE and promote safe behaviours; comply with project and corporate HSE requirements in all work activities.
• + Participate in SEAL alignment and hazard/risk assessment workshops and incorporate outcomes into piping engineering deliverables and decisions.
• + Apply Safety in Design principles (ALARP / hierarchy of controls) and ensure hazards/risks are identified, communicated and managed through design and reviews.

• Project Execution, Leadership & Delivery Management

• Piping Engineering & Layout (Offshore Focus)

• + Review project scope, design basis, specifications and design criteria; apply relevant international codes and customer standards (including ADNOC where applicable).
• + Develop and check piping layouts and engineering deliverables ensuring safe access/egress, operability, maintainability and constructability; support plot plan and 3D model reviews.
• + Coordinate piping routing and layout interfaces with process, mechanical, civil/structural, E&I and HSE; identify clashes and drive closure via agreed actions.
• + Provide technical input for offshore brownfield constraints including tie-in feasibility, space/weight limitations, installation methodology considerations and shutdown/workpack requirements (as applicable to scope).
• Piping Stress Analysis & Pipe Supports (Strong Focus)
• + Perform and/or review piping stress analysis using project-approved software and manual methods as required; ensure compliance with the project-adopted code and stress criteria.
• + Develop and maintain stress deliverables such as stress critical line lists, stress sketches, stress reports and stress sign-off/approval status for isometrics.
• + Evaluate static and dynamic effects as applicable (thermal expansion, wind/seismic, PSV reaction, vibration, surge/slug) and define mitigation actions through routing and support optimisation.
• + Define pipe support requirements and coordinate support philosophy with civil/structural; prepare/verify support loads, anchor/guide forces, nozzle loads and load transmittals.
• + Support resolution of stress-related technical queries, site issues and modifications with practical engineering judgement
• Piping Materials Engineering & Procurement Support (Strong Focus)
• + Prepare and/or review piping material specifications and line classes (PMS / Line Class Index) aligned with service conditions, corrosion/material selection inputs and applicable codes/standards.
• + Prepare and/or check datasheets and specifications for valves, flanges, fittings, bolting, gaskets and special piping items; manage technical clarifications and deviations.
• + Prepare and/or validate MTOs and material take-offs for procurement; ensure accuracy, completeness and change control.
• + Support procurement activities including Material Requisitions (MR), Technical Bid Evaluations (TBE), SDRL requirements and vendor document review/approval for piping-related items.
• + Interface with procurement and QA/QC to support material traceability, compliance, delivery forecasting, substitutions and site material queries.

• Quality, Checking & Engineering Governance

• Construction, Commissioning & Field Support

• Typical Deliverables (examples)
