3d Modeler jobs in United Arab Emirates

The Senior Piping Engineer will be responsible for leading and producing detailed piping layouts and design deliverables for onshore oil & gas facilities during the FEED and Detailed Engineering phases. The role requires extensive experience in 3D modeling, piping layout development, and coordination with multi-disciplinary teams, ensuring all designs comply with ADNOC Engineering Standards, project specifications, and international codes.

• Lead and execute piping design activities for onshore oil & gas projects during FEED and Detailed Engineering stages.
• Develop and check piping layouts, isometrics, and GA drawings for process units, utility areas, and offsite facilities.
• Prepare and review 3D piping models using SmartPlant 3D (SP3D), E3D, or PDMS, ensuring clash‑free, constructible designs.
• Coordinate with process, civil, mechanical, structural, electrical, and instrumentation disciplines to ensure design consistency and integration.
• Review and verify line routing, equipment orientation, and nozzle orientations based on P&IDs and process requirements.
• Generate and check Material Take‑Offs (MTOs), tie‑in details, and as‑built markups.
• Ensure all designs adhere to ADNOC Engineering Standards (ADES/AGES) and international codes such as ASME B31.3, B31.4, B31.8, API, and ISO.
• Participate in model reviews, design reviews, HAZOP/HAZID, and constructability workshops.
• Coordinate with the stress and support engineers to incorporate flexibility and support requirements.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior designers and drafters within the piping team.
• Interface with document control and ensure all drawings and deliverables are updated, properly numbered, and issued as per project procedures.
• Ensure timely delivery of all piping design deliverables in line with project schedules and quality standards.

• Diploma / Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Mechanical or Piping Engineering (Bachelors degree preferred).
• 15+ years of experience in piping design within the oil & gas industry, with at least 10 years in onshore oil & gas projects.
• Proven experience in Engineering Phase work FEED, Detailed Engineering, and Detail Design (not construction).
• Mandatory ADNOC project experience (minimum one completed FEED or Detailed Design project for ADNOC Onshore / ADNOC Gas).
• Advanced proficiency in SmartPlant 3D (SP3D), E3D, PDMS, and Navisworks.
• Excellent understanding of piping design principles, materials, valve types, and fabrication requirements.
• Strong knowledge of ADNOC standards, international design codes, and best engineering practices.
• Capable of leading a small team of designers and ensuring delivery quality and compliance.
• Strong communication, coordination, and leadership skills.
• Immediate availability to join in Abu Dhabi.
• Experience in brownfield modification and tie‑in design for existing ADNOC facilities.
• Familiarity with SmartPlant Foundation (SPF) or other engineering document management systems (EDMS).
• Good understanding of constructability, safety in design, and field coordination.
• Ability to conduct model review sessions and interface with clients and discipline leads.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to maintaining high design quality standards.
