The Role

As a Piping Engineer with Worley,you will work closely with our existing team to deliver projects for our clients while continuing to develop your skills and experience.

Piping Design Layout Engineering:
Develop piping layouts for mining, mineral processing, and metal extraction facilities based on PIDs, process flow diagrams (PFDs), and client specifications.
Ensure the layout design optimizes space, operational efficiency, and ease of installation while meeting industry safety and environmental standards.
Prepare detailed piping design drawings, including routing, support placement, and equipment integration.
Coordinate the layout of piping systems with other engineering disciplines such as civil, mechanical, and electrical to ensure seamless integration.
Select appropriate materials for piping systems based on factors such as fluid type, temperature, pressure, and environmental conditions.
FEED (Front-End Engineering Design):
Participate in the FEED phase of projects, assisting in the development of piping layouts and preliminary designs
Work with multidisciplinary teams to define project scope, estimate costs, and identify potential design challenges.
Review client specifications and ensure the design aligns with technical, budgetary, and scheduling requirements.
Contribute to the development of initial piping design concepts, material take-offs, and cost estimates.
Detailed Engineering Design:
Prepare detailed engineering designs for the full scope of piping systems, including pipe sizes, materials, valves, and fittings, as well as system integration.
Use E3D, AutoCAD, Plant 3D, or similar CAD software to develop accurate piping design drawings and layouts.
Coordinate with the stress analysis team to address any piping support and stress-related issues.
Ensure that all piping designs comply with applicable industry standards and codes (e.g., ASME, API, ANSI, etc.).
Layout Optimization:
Optimize piping layout designs for both new projects and modifications to existing plants by minimizing material usage, reducing installation time, and enhancing operational efficiency.
Review existing designs to identify potential areas for improvement and ensure that the piping layout adheres to best practices and operational needs.
Coordination Communication:
Work closely with internal teams, clients, contractors, and vendors to ensure the timely and successful completion of projects.
Participate in 3D design reviews, safety meetings, and project coordination meetings to track progress and mitigate risks.
Maintain clear and consistent communication regarding project milestones, design changes, and any potential challenges.
Quality Control Compliance:
Ensure the piping design meets quality standards and safety regulations in accordance with project requirements, local regulations, and industry codes.
Perform thorough checks to confirm design accuracy, material selection, and compliance with specifications.
