Piping Lead Engineer (KOC)

Position Description:

• We are looking for a Lead Piping Engineer with extensive experience leading FEED Design teams.

• The individual should have experience in equipment / plant layout and piping design on Onshore Brownfield and Greenfield projects, working with E3D software. Previous experience working with KOC (Kuwait Oil Company) is essential.

• The candidate is required to lead the layout development for piping and the project by coordinating and providing guidance to Area Leads and Piping Designers across all parts of the plant scope.

• The position also requires oversight of the Piping Mechanical group for completion of the Piping Stress and Materials activities.

• The candidate is required to provide oversight and review for modelled equipment, pipework, preliminary structure, civil interfaces, and access/egress routes. A sound knowledge of stress and support requirements within a layout is essential.

• Additionally, the role entails coordination duties and design lead recommendations with other engineering disciplines such as Structural, Civils, Mechanical, Safety, Mechanical Handling and Process.

• Regular duties will also include review of project documents, preparation, and involvement in presentation of project Model Reviews at multi-discipline level, checking of plot plans and equipment layouts.

• The position is based in in Leatherhead. Ideal candidates will be comfortable working 5 days from the Leatherhead office, therefore we can only consider candidates with the right to live and work in the UK.

• Flexible working can be considered on occasions for certain types of work, however there are expectations that this role will require reasonable office attendance where interaction with the project management team or client is necessary, or for coordination duties at work process management level.

Job Responsibilities:

• Develop a 3D CAD model for typical equipment and piping layouts of greenfield and brownfield modifications in process and utility areas.

• Due consideration given to access requirements for operations, mechanical handling & egress, preliminary structure and foundations, interfaces with underground services as required and pipework routings.

• Review construction access for installation and craneage.

• Set up work processes and design job notes for the piping team and cross-discipline interfaces.

• Coordinate and provide guidance to Area Lead Piping Designers in an advisory and approval capacity.

• Coordinate inputs to the layout from pipe stress engineering and pipe support design as part of the overall layout development.

• Manage and satisfy client expectations whilst proactively contributing feedback.

• Protect discipline budget and schedule commitments and management of change.

• Review and comment on piping and multi-discipline project document reviews.

• Provide regular input to piping MTOs and discipline estimating.

• Communicate effectively with other engineering disciplines, co-ordinate and develop work process interfaces between Mechanical, Structural and Civils.

• Commit to multi-centre project execution strategies and supervision in technical support and coordination roles.

• Represent the piping discipline to the client at staged model reviews. • Provide assistance to Piping deliverable production, checking and approvals.

• Participate in site visits if requested or site surveys if necessary. This can be delegated to someone else within the Piping Team if the Lead doesn’t wish to travel.

• Adhere to engineering standards and procedures as appropriate and provide input to their ongoing development and enhancement. Skills / Experience: Essential

• Extensive knowledge of Piping Design and Onshore Plant Layout.

• Onshore crude processing layout experience.

• Experience of Piping design in brownfield applications with an emphasis on site survey, tie-ins, CAD modelling for new and existing pipework definition and consideration of test limit locations. • Past experience of plant layout and piping design responsibility in Area Lead positions.

• Experience, or an ability to step-up to, the responsibility of leadership in layout coordination for Area Lead Designers working across the piping team.

• A good understanding of the requirements and layout influences from stress and supports in brownfield routings, with an emphasis on tie-in locations for increased loadings, existing support restraints affecting updated pipe stress models and acquiring the appropriate survey data.

• Conversant with 3D CAD modelling systems, preferable E3D.

• Effective communication skills including the ability to present at design reviews. • Previous experience working on Kuwait projects and in particular KOC standards. Desirable

• Conversant with AutoCAD for basic draughting updates or drawing interpretation.

• Hands-on CAD modelling experience with E3D.

Qualifications:

• Minimum - Engineering Degree (Beng)
