Job description

As a Piping Engineer with Worley, you will work closely with our existing team to deliver projects for our clients while continuing to develop your skills and experience etc.

• Piping Design & Layout Engineering:
  • Develop piping layouts for mining, mineral processing, and metal extraction facilities based on P&IDs, process flow diagrams (PFDs), and client specifications.
  • Ensure the layout design optimizes space, operational efficiency, and ease of installation while meeting industry safety and environmental standards.
  • Prepare detailed piping design drawings, including routing, support placement, and equipment integration.
  • Coordinate the layout of piping systems with other engineering disciplines such as civil, mechanical, and electrical to ensure seamless integration.
  • Select appropriate materials for piping systems based on factors such as fluid type, temperature, pressure, and environmental conditions.
• FEED (Front-End Engineering Design):
  • Participate in the FEED phase of projects, assisting in the development of piping layouts and preliminary designs.
  • Work with multidisciplinary teams to define project scope, estimate costs, and identify potential design challenges.
  • Review client specifications and ensure the design aligns with technical, budgetary, and scheduling requirements.
  • Contribute to the development of initial piping design concepts, material take-offs, and cost estimates.
• Detailed Engineering Design:
  • Prepare detailed engineering designs for the full scope of piping systems, including pipe sizes, materials, valves, and fittings, as well as system integration.
  • Use S3D, E3D, AutoCAD, Microstation, Plant 3D, or similar CAD software to develop accurate piping design drawings and layouts.
  • Coordinate with the stress analysis team to address any piping support and stress-related issues.
  • Ensure that all piping designs comply with applicable industry standards and codes (e.g., ASME, API, ANSI, etc.).
• Layout Optimization:
  • Optimize piping layout designs for both new projects and modifications to existing plants by minimizing material usage, reducing installation time, and enhancing operational efficiency.
  • Review existing designs to identify potential areas for improvement and ensure that the piping layout adheres to best practices and operational needs.
• Coordination & Communication:
  • Work closely with internal teams, clients, contractors, and vendors to ensure the timely and successful completion of projects.
  • Participate in 3D design reviews, safety meetings, and project coordination meetings to track progress and mitigate risks.
  • Maintain clear and consistent communication regarding project milestones, design changes, and any potential challenges.
• Quality Control & Compliance:
  • Ensure the piping design meets quality standards and safety regulations in accordance with project requirements, local regulations, and industry codes.
  • Perform thorough checks to confirm design accuracy, material selection, and compliance with specifications.
