SENIOR PIPING ENGINEER

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.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• 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.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:

• 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.
