Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Design Engineer - Piping to support the engineering, design, and execution of projects related to iron ore beneficiation plants, pellet plants, direct reduction iron (DRI) facilities, and integrated steel manufacturing operations. The role is responsible for developing and reviewing piping designs, layouts, material specifications, and engineering deliverables while ensuring compliance with applicable industry codes, safety requirements, and project objectives.
The successful candidate will work closely with process, mechanical, civil, electrical, instrumentation, construction, and operations teams to deliver safe, reliable, and cost-effective piping systems from conceptual engineering through commissioning.
Job Responsibilities
Develop and review piping layouts, piping general arrangement (GA) drawings, isometrics, piping support drawings, and 3D models for industrial process facilities
Prepare and review piping design deliverables including plot plans, equipment layouts, piping routing studies, and material specifications
Coordinate with process engineering teams to ensure piping systems meet process requirements and operational objectives
Review and interpret Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), and equipment data sheets
Perform piping design calculations, pressure drop evaluations, line sizing reviews, and support selection
Coordinate stress analysis activities and review outputs generated using software such as CAESAR II or equivalent
Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards including ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, ANSI, API, ASTM, MSS, and relevant local regulations
Participate in model reviews, constructability reviews, HAZOP studies, safety reviews, and design optimization initiatives
Interface with equipment vendors and EPC contractors to review vendor drawings, piping interfaces, and technical documentation
Support procurement activities through preparation of material requisitions, technical specifications, bid evaluations, and vendor document reviews
Resolve piping-related technical issues during engineering, fabrication, construction, and commissioning phases
Conduct site visits and field inspections to verify installation quality and ensure conformance with approved designs
Coordinate with civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation disciplines for integrated project execution
Support project planning, scheduling, cost estimation, and progress monitoring activities
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior piping designers and engineers
Participate in commissioning and start-up activities to ensure successful handover to operations
Skills And Qualifications
