Senior Piping Engineer

We are a leading engineering consultancy specializing in comprehensive design and analysis solutions for industrial facilities worldwide.

We're looking for a talented professional to design and optimize critical piping systems across multiple sectors.

Responsibilities:

- Design comprehensive industrial piping systems for critical applications in Oil & Gas, Power Generation, and Chemical Processing facilities with attention to safety and efficiency standards.

- Conduct thorough pipe stress analysis using CAESAR II and AutoPIPE to evaluate thermal expansion, pressure containment, and structural integrity of complex piping networks.

- Create precise P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) and detailed isometric drawings that meet industry specifications for fabrication and installation.

- Select optimal piping materials, valves, supports, and components based on process requirements, pressure ratings, and environmental factors.

- Ensure all designs comply with current industry standards including ASME B31.3, B31.1, and other applicable international codes with meticulous attention to detail.

- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to integrate piping systems seamlessly with structural, electrical, and instrumentation components.

- Review vendor documentation for equipment and components to verify compatibility with system design specifications and project requirements.

- Perform hydraulic calculations to determine appropriate pipe sizing, pressure drop, and flow characteristics across various system configurations.

- Participate in HAZOP studies and risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential safety concerns in piping design and implementation.

- Develop comprehensive material requisitions and technical specifications for procurement processes that align with project budgets and timelines.

Requirements:

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field; Professional Engineering (PE) license preferred.

- 5+ years of progressive experience in piping engineering for industrial applications, with demonstrated expertise in pipe stress analysis and system design.

- Proficiency in industry-standard software including CAESAR II (2021 or newer), AutoPIPE, CADWorx, AutoCAD Plant 3D, and Navisworks for effective system modeling and analysis.

- Comprehensive understanding of fluid mechanics, material properties, and engineering principles as they relate to industrial piping systems under various operating conditions.

- Expert knowledge of ASME B31 codes (particularly B31.3 for process piping) and other relevant industry standards (API, NFPA, ASTM).

- Demonstrated experience with piping design for diverse process fluids including hydrocarbons, steam systems, cryogenic applications, and hazardous chemicals.

- Advanced ability to interpret and develop P&IDs, isometric drawings, and general arrangement drawings for complex piping systems across multiple industry applications.

- Strong analytical skills for troubleshooting engineering problems and recommending effective technical solutions that optimize performance and minimize operational risks.

- Experience with Plant MOC (Management of Change) processes and regulatory compliance documentation for industrial facilities.

- Excellent communication skills with the ability to present technical information clearly to diverse stakeholders at various organizational levels.

- Capability to work independently while collaborating effectively with remote team members across different time zones and cultural contexts.
