Senior Piping Engineer

• 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.

• 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

• Plan, schedule and deliver assigned piping engineering scope to meet project milestones, quality requirements and budgeted hours.
• Supervise and guide piping and junior engineers/designers; provide coaching, checking/back-checking and technical direction.
• Support development of discipline CTRs/estimates, progress reporting, and deliverables tracking for assigned work packages.
• Coordinate closely with the Piping Lead/Principal on priorities, risks, constraints and interface resolution (inter-discipline, vendor, subcontractor and client).
• 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

• Execute work in accordance with company procedures and engineering governance requirements; ensure required checks/back-checks and quality control steps are completed.
• Review and comment on supplier and other discipline drawings/documents; ensure piping deliverables are technically correct and coordinated.
• Identify scope deviations and support change management by providing technical inputs to impact assessments and variation documentation as required.
• Construction, Commissioning & Field Support

• Provide construction support including RFIs/field queries, drawing interpretation, and design modifications required during fabrication/installation.
• Support offshore/onshore site activities as assigned (surveys, measurements, tie-in verification, punch resolution) and ensure changes are reflected in deliverables/as-builts where in scope.
• Support commissioning readiness by ensuring piping deliverables, material documentation and outstanding actions are closed out in line with project requirements.
• Typical Deliverables (examples)

• Piping engineering CTRs and progress reports
• Piping layouts / GA drawings, plot plan & 3D model review comments
• Piping isometrics, tie-in lists, line/service index, MTOs
• Stress critical line list, stress calculations/models, stress reports, nozzle load and civil load transmittals, support requirements
• PMS / line classes, valve & special item datasheets/specifications, MR/TBE packages, vendor document review comments.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
• 15+ years total experience in piping engineering within Oil & Gas / Energy / Process industries.
• 10+ years detailed engineering experience.
• 10+ years offshore experience with extended proven offshore design experience (must-have).
• 5+ years detailed engineering offshore (must-have).
• Strong EPC/EPCM experience with demonstrated leadership activities (task leadership, supervision, mentoring, and multi-discipline interface).
• Very good knowledge of piping stress analysis and pipe supports (static/dynamic as applicable).
• Very good knowledge of piping materials engineering and procurement processes (PMS/line classes, MTO/MR, TBE, vendor document reviews).
• ADNOC standards awareness is an advantage; familiarity with Worley systems/templates is a plus; GCC experience is a plus.
• Core Competencies (Technical & Behavioral):

• Strong EPC/EPCM delivery mindset (scope/schedule/cost/quality) with proactive coordination and interface management.
• Very good knowledge of piping stress analysis, pipe supports and materials engineering; able to troubleshoot and provide practical solutions.
• Leadership and mentoring capability; able to supervise and guide engineers/designers and drive timely delivery.
• Client/vendor communication skills; able to write clear technical comments, manage queries and close actions.
• Commitment to HSE, SEAL and Safety-in-Design expectations.
• Preferred / Advantageous

• ADNOC standards awareness and UAE/GCC project experience.
• Familiarity with Worley systems, templates and governance requirements.
• Experience in multi-office execution / workshare environments.
