Piping System Design & Engineering:

Lead the design and layout of piping systems including routing, supports, and material selection in compliance with project specifications and industry standards.
Prepare and review piping deliverables such as P&IDs, isometric drawings, piping plans, GA drawings, and MTOs (Material Take-Offs).
Ensure designs account for operability, maintainability, safety, and constructability.

Technical Analysis & Problem Solving:

Perform detailed pipe stress analysis using tools like CAESAR II or AutoPIPE to evaluate flexibility, thermal expansion, and loading conditions.
Review vendor documents, data sheets, and coordinate with equipment teams to ensure proper piping interfaces.
Solve complex piping challenges related to layout, space constraints, thermal effects, and equipment alignment.

Code & Standards Compliance:

Ensure compliance with international codes and standards such as ASME B31.3/B31.1, API, ASTM, and client-specific requirements.
Implement best practices in piping design, supporting QA/QC checks, and leading internal audits or reviews.

Coordination & Collaboration:

Coordinate with other engineering disciplines (process, mechanical, civil, structural, electrical) to ensure piping designs integrate smoothly with overall plant or facility layout.
Participate in model reviews (e.g., 30%, 60%, 90%) and lead clash detection resolution using tools like Navisworks or SmartPlant Review.

Project Execution & Support:

Support project managers in planning, budgeting, and scheduling of piping engineering activities.
Review and approve vendor piping drawings and assist in technical bid evaluations (TBEs).
Support site construction and commissioning teams in resolving field issues and RFIs related to piping.

Innovation & Best Practices:

Introduce advanced tools, automation techniques, or design workflows to enhance piping design efficiency and accuracy.
Support digital initiatives such as 3D modeling, BIM integration, or laser scanning implementation in retrofit projects.

Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing:

Mentor junior engineers and designers, providing technical direction and quality oversight.
Share domain knowledge, conduct training sessions, and contribute to continuous improvement in piping engineering practices.

Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline. Master's degree preferred.
Experience: 10+ years of experience in piping design and engineering in EPC or consulting organizations, with demonstrated success in handling complex projects.
Certifications: Professional Engineer (PE) or Chartered Engineer (CEng) preferred.

Deep understanding of piping codes and standards (ASME, API, ANSI, ASTM).
Proficiency in software tools like CAESAR II, AutoCAD Plant 3D, SmartPlant 3D, E3D, or PDMS.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills in piping layout, stress, and support design.
Excellent coordination skills with interdisciplinary teams.
Clear and effective communication, including technical writing and report preparation.
Strong documentation and quality control abilities.
Capable of handling multiple projects and tight deadlines.
