Piping Engineer

Roles and responsibilities

1. Design and Development

• Piping Design: Create and develop piping layouts and specifications using software like AutoCAD, PDMS, or CAESAR II.
• Material Selection: Choose appropriate materials for piping systems based on fluid characteristics, temperature, and pressure.

2. Analysis and Calculations

• Stress Analysis: Conduct stress analysis to ensure piping systems can withstand operational pressures and thermal expansion.
• Hydraulic Calculations: Perform calculations to determine flow rates, pressure drops, and pump requirements.

3. Project Management

• Planning: Develop project schedules and budgets for piping projects.
• Coordination: Collaborate with other engineering disciplines (mechanical, electrical, civil) to ensure project integration.

4. Compliance and Standards

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure designs meet industry standards and local regulations (e.g., ASME, ANSI, ISO).
• Quality Assurance: Implement quality control measures throughout the design and construction phases.

5. Construction and Installation

• Site Inspections: Conduct site visits to oversee installation, ensuring adherence to design specifications and safety standards.
• Troubleshooting: Address any issues that arise during construction and propose solutions.

6. Maintenance and Upgrades

• System Evaluation: Assess existing piping systems for efficiency and safety, recommending upgrades or replacements as necessary.
• Documentation: Maintain accurate records of piping designs, changes, and maintenance activities.

7. Safety Management

• Risk Assessment: Identify potential hazards associated with piping systems and implement mitigation strategies.
• Training: Provide training for staff on safe handling and maintenance of piping systems.

8. Communication

• Reporting: Prepare reports and documentation for stakeholders, summarizing project progress and technical details.
• Collaboration: Liaise with clients, contractors, and suppliers to ensure project requirements are met.

Desired candidate profile

• Ensure and coordinate the proper realization of the PVV design in compliance with COMPANY Standard, project specifications and procedures, time schedule, required level of quality and safety.
• Challenge Contractor on the proposed design, oversee the development of the PVV design including equipment layout development, stress analysis, piping design and provide support to Contractor to achieve fit for purpose design
• Promote field technical optimization/cost savings, ensuring first that they are compliant with the project schedule and the contracts, liaising with the PVV Lead.
• Identify PVV engineering technical decisions to be made. Define and manage clear way forward for these decisions to be made and report to PVV Lead.
• Work with weight control engineer and engineering team to ensure close weight monitoring and control of weight.
• Contribute to the proper realization of the identification of and specification of the LLI
• Ensure close coordination with other disciplines on all engineering, constructability and operational matters,
• Ensure that relevant feedback/lesson learned from previous similar projects are considered in the design performance.
• Work closely with AVEVA 3D model admin and PMD Coordinators on development of design layout and
• Assist in planning and preparation of PVV discipline kick-off meeting with EPC Contractor
• Support procurement engineering including TBEs and vendor documents review, and assist in manufacture site visit
• Support fabrication and construction engineering on review of engineering documents, modification approval, non-conformity reviews and assist in closer of punch lists
• Support project during installation and hookup stage and review/approval work-pack, review of red-marks
