Piping Engineer

Position: Piping Engineer Skid Packages

Location: Khar West, Mumbai (supporting Middle East & India projects)

Reports to: Engineering / Proposals Head

Role Objective

To design, analyze, and estimate piping systems for skid-mounted equipment (firefighting skids, process skids, utility skids), ensuring compliance with project specifications, codes, and cost requirements.

Key Responsibilities1. Piping Design

• Prepare and review GA drawings, P&IDs, piping layouts, and isometrics for skid systems.
• Select and specify pipe classes, valves, fittings, gaskets, and supports.
• Design routing with focus on maintainability, accessibility, drainage slope, and nozzle load allowances.
• Check piping flexibility, stress considerations, and skid anchoring points.
• Incorporate welding details, flange ratings, galvanizing/FBE lining requirements.

2. Estimation & MTO

• Develop MTOs for piping, fittings, valves, supports, and instruments.
• Calculate pipe lengths, weld inch-dia, painting/coating areas.
• Provide weight calculations for structural & piping assemblies.
• Estimate man-hours for fabrication, assembly, and testing.
• Prepare BOQs for costing team to float to vendors.

3. Technical Documentation

• Generate piping BOMs, datasheets, line lists, and valve lists.
• Ensure compliance with ASME B31.3, ASME Sec VIII, API, NFPA, ASTM, and client specs.
• Support in technical clarifications during pre-bid and post-bid.

4. Coordination (Internal)

• Interface with structural, mechanical, and E&I teams for complete skid design.
• Provide proposals team with timely technical inputs for estimation and bidding.
• Support project execution team with design handover packages.

Qualifications & Skills

• B.E. / Diploma in Mechanical Engineering.
• 37 years experience in piping design & estimation for skid packages / process modules / static equipment.
• Proficient in AutoCAD / Plant 3D / Inventor / SolidWorks for piping layouts.
• Strong knowledge of pipe classes, codes & standards (ASME, API, NFPA, ASTM, IS).
• Familiarity with fabrication methods, welding, galvanizing, FBE lining, and hydrotesting.
• Strong Excel/Sheets skills for BOQ & MTO preparation.

Competencies

• Strong design fundamentals in piping.
• Accuracy and speed in MTO/weight calculations.
• Practical approach with fabrication & erection awareness.
• Ability to work under strict bid timelines.
