Role Summary
The Technical Manager High-Temperature Piping is responsible for leading the engineering, design, and execution of piping systems operating in the temperature range of 200C to 600C. The role ensures safe, reliable, and code-compliant piping solutions for refineries, petrochemical plants, power plants, and other high-temperature process facilities across EPC and operational phases.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead piping engineering activities for high-temperature and high-pressure services.
- Develop piping design philosophy, technical specifications, and engineering standards.
- Act as technical authority for material selection, piping layout, stress analysis, and flexibility design.
- Ensure compliance with ASME B31.3, B31.1, API, EN, and project-specific standards.
- Review and approve piping layouts, 3D models, isometrics, and material specifications.
- Oversee piping stress analysis considering thermal expansion, creep, sustained and occasional loads.
- Define expansion philosophy including loops, spring supports, constant hangers, anchors, and guides.
- Select materials suitable for elevated temperatures such as carbon steel, Cr-Mo steels, alloy steels, and stainless steels.
- Address high-temperature failure mechanisms including creep, fatigue, oxidation, and carburization.
- Coordinate piping support design to manage thermal movements and equipment nozzle loads.
- Participate in HAZID, HAZOP, and safety reviews related to high-temperature piping systems.
- Provide technical support during fabrication, welding, PWHT, erection, testing, and commissioning.
- Resolve site technical queries, deviations, and non-conformances.
- Interface with process, mechanical, civil, instrumentation teams, vendors, licensors, and clients.
- Review vendor documents for valves, expansion joints, piping supports, and specialty items.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (Master's preferred).
- 1218 years of piping engineering experience with at least 57 years in high-temperature piping systems.
- Experience in refinery, petrochemical, power, or fertilizer projects preferred.
