Piping Engineer (Level 1)

Piping Engineer Level I

Role Purpose

• Deliver piping engineering and design outputs for assigned areas/packages in line with project scope, specifications, design parameters, applicable codes and industry best practices.
• Apply strong hands-on piping design capability; candidates with additional exposure to piping stress analysis and piping materials/procurement support are preferred.
• Collaborate effectively within a multi-discipline team to deliver safe, accurate, timely and constructible designs; support reviews, vendor interfaces and construction queries as required.

Minimum Qualifications & Experience (As Requested)

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent discipline).
• Minimum 8 years’ relevant experience in piping engineering within the Oil & Gas/Energy/Process industries, preferably in EPC/EPCM project delivery.
• Proven experience delivering piping design and layout outputs (2D/3D), including isometrics and material take-offs (MTOs).
• Preferred: ability to perform or support piping stress analysis tasks (e.g., basic model set-up, verification checks, coordination of loads/nozzle data) and pipe support coordination.
• Preferred: ability to perform or support piping materials engineering and procurement activities (line list, PMS/line classes, datasheets, MRs, TBEs and vendor document review).
• ADNOC standards awareness and GCC experience are advantages; familiarity with company systems and work processes is a plus.

Piping Engineering & Design Delivery (Primary)

• Review project specifications, administrative and technical practices, design instructions, plot plans, flow diagrams and supplier information to execute the assigned scope.
• Develop and revise piping layouts and drawings (including general arrangements) using project-approved tools, templates and standards.
• Prepare, update and check piping isometrics, tie-in information and associated deliverables to ensure designs are accurate, complete and constructible.
• Prepare and/or validate piping material take-offs (bulk, valves and special items) and support quantity reporting, as required.
• Participate in 3D model reviews and clash resolution with designers and other disciplines; ensure access, operability, maintainability and constructability requirements are addressed.

Stress Analysis & Pipe Support Coordination (Preferred)

• Support piping stress analysis by providing accurate design inputs (routing, elevations, penetrations, equipment nozzle data and proposed support locations).
• Assist with stress sketches/mark-ups and coordinate design updates resulting from stress findings (loops, flexibility, supports, anchors/guides).
• Coordinate piping and nozzle load data with Civil/Structural and Mechanical disciplines, supporting timely interface closure.
• Support development of pipe support requirements (support location plans and standard/special support inputs) and respond to related technical queries.

Piping Materials Engineering & Procurement Support (Preferred)

• Develop and maintain the line list and piping service/line designation data for the assigned scope.
• Prepare and maintain piping specialty item lists and datasheets (e.g., valves, flanges, fittings and specialty items), as required.
• Support preparation and update of material requisitions (MRs) and assist with technical bid evaluations (TBEs) for piping bulk materials, valves and special items.
• Review vendor drawings and documents related to piping/materials; manage technical clarifications and deviations in coordination with the Lead/Principal Engineer.
• Interface with Procurement and QA/QC to support material compliance, documentation and traceability requirements, as applicable.

Quality, Checking & Engineering Governance

• Execute work in accordance with approved codes, standards and project procedures; complete checking/back-checking per the project quality plan.
• Review and comment on drawings and supplier information from other disciplines where piping interfaces exist; ensure changes are captured in master documents.
• Maintain document control, progress reporting and proactive communication of issues/risks to the Area/Lead Engineer.

Construction And Site Support (As Assigned)

• Provide construction support by interpreting drawings/specifications, responding to RFIs/field queries and implementing approved design changes.
• Support site surveys/walkdowns and verify existing conditions for brownfield tie-ins; collect field data and photographs, as required.

Typical Deliverables

• Piping layouts/general arrangement drawings, piping plans and related drawings
• Piping isometrics, tie-in packages/lists, line list updates and MTOs
• Datasheets (valves, fittings, flanges and specialty items) and line class/PMS inputs (as applicable)
• Pipe support location inputs and stress-related design updates (as applicable)
• Vendor document review comments, MR/TBE support packages (as applicable)

Core Competencies

• Strong piping design fundamentals and ability to deliver high-quality drawings and documentation.
• Working knowledge of piping codes/standards and ability to apply project specifications.
• Good coordination skills across disciplines and with vendors; clear written and verbal communication.
• Proactive safety mindset and adherence to project HSE requirements.
• Continuous learning attitude (stress, materials and procurement exposure preferred).
