Building on our past. Ready for the future

Worley is a global professional services company of energy, chemicals and resources experts. We partner with customers to deliver projects and create value over the life of their assets. We’re bridging two worlds, moving towards more sustainable energy sources, while helping to provide the energy, chemicals and resources needed now.

Role Purpose

• Lead piping engineering activities on small to large projects and/or support the Principal/Lead Engineer in managing piping engineering on major scopes, delivering safe, compliant and constructible designs in an EPC/EPCM environment.
• Provide strong technical delivery with particular strength in piping stress analysis, pipe supports, piping materials engineering and procurement support, while supervising and mentoring less experienced engineers/designers.
• Execute piping engineering work independently with sound engineering judgement, ensuring quality, schedule and budget commitments are met and interfaces are managed effectively across disciplines, vendors and construction.

Key Accountabilities & Responsibilities

• HSE, SEAL & Safety in Design
  • Demonstrate visible commitment to HSE and promote safe behaviours; comply with project and corporate HSE requirements in all work activities.
  • Participate in SEAL alignment and hazard/risk assessment workshops and incorporate outcomes into piping engineering deliverables and decisions.
  • Apply Safety in Design principles (ALARP / hierarchy of controls) and ensure hazards/risks are identified, communicated and managed through design and reviews.
• Project Execution, Leadership & Delivery Management
  • Plan, schedule and deliver assigned piping engineering scope to meet project milestones, quality requirements and budgeted hours.
  • Supervise and guide piping and junior engineers/designers; provide coaching, checking/back-checking and technical direction.
  • Support development of discipline CTRs/estimates, progress reporting, and deliverables tracking for assigned work packages.
  • Coordinate closely with the Piping Lead/Principal on priorities, risks, constraints and interface resolution (inter-discipline, vendor, subcontractor and client).
• Piping Engineering & Layout (Offshore Focus)
  • Review project scope, design basis, specifications and design criteria; apply relevant international codes and customer standards (including ADNOC where applicable).
  • Develop and check piping layouts and engineering deliverables ensuring safe access/egress, operability, maintainability and constructability; support plot plan and 3D model reviews.
  • Coordinate piping routing and layout interfaces with process, mechanical, civil/structural, E&I and HSE; identify clashes and drive closure via agreed actions.
  • Provide technical input for offshore brownfield constraints including tie-in feasibility, space/weight limitations, installation methodology considerations and shutdown/workpack requirements (as applicable to scope).
• Piping Stress Analysis & Pipe Supports (Strong Focus)
  • Perform and/or review piping stress analysis using project-approved software and manual methods as required; ensure compliance with the project-adopted code and stress criteria.
  • Develop and maintain stress deliverables such as stress critical line lists, stress sketches, stress reports and stress sign-off/approval status for isometrics.
  • Evaluate static and dynamic effects as applicable (thermal expansion, wind/seismic, PSV reaction, vibration, surge/slug) and define mitigation actions through routing and support optimisation.
  • Define pipe support requirements and coordinate support philosophy with civil/structural; prepare/verify support loads, anchor/guide forces, nozzle loads and load transmittals.
  • Support resolution of stress-related technical queries, site issues and modifications with practical engineering judgement
• Piping Materials Engineering & Procurement Support (Strong Focus)
  • Prepare and/or review piping material specifications and line classes (PMS / Line Class Index) aligned with service conditions, corrosion/material selection inputs and applicable codes/standards.
  • Prepare and/or check datasheets and specifications for valves, flanges, fittings, bolting, gaskets and special piping items; manage technical clarifications and deviations.
  • Prepare and/or validate MTOs and material take-offs for procurement; ensure accuracy, completeness and change control.
  • Support procurement activities including Material Requisitions (MR), Technical Bid Evaluations (TBE), SDRL requirements and vendor document review/approval for piping-related items.
  • Interface with procurement and QA/QC to support material traceability, compliance, delivery forecasting, substitutions and site material queries.
• Quality, Checking & Engineering Governance
  • Execute work in accordance with company procedures and engineering governance requirements; ensure required checks/back-checks and quality control steps are completed.
  • Review and comment on supplier and other discipline drawings/documents; ensure piping deliverables are technically correct and coordinated.
  • Identify scope deviations and support change management by providing technical inputs to impact assessments and variation documentation as required.
• Construction, Commissioning & Field Support
  • Provide construction support including RFIs/field queries, drawing interpretation, and design modifications required during fabrication/installation.
  • Support offshore/onshore site activities as assigned (surveys, measurements, tie-in verification, punch resolution) and ensure changes are reflected in deliverables/as-builts where in scope.
  • Support commissioning readiness by ensuring piping deliverables, material documentation and outstanding actions are closed out in line with project requirements.
• Typical Deliverables (examples)
  • Piping engineering CTRs and progress reports
  • Piping layouts / GA drawings, plot plan & 3D model review comments
  • Piping isometrics, tie-in lists, line/service index, MTOs
  • Stress critical line list, stress calculations/models, stress reports, nozzle load and civil load transmittals, support requirements
  • PMS / line classes, valve & special item datasheets/specifications, MR/TBE packages, vendor document review comments.
