What you'll do
- Perform hands-on piping engineering for FEL-2 and early-phase delivery work
- Validate automated piping outputs to ensure quality before client delivery
- Define standards for piping information development during FEED and detailed design
- Review P&IDs, line lists, piping specs, and tie-in lists for consistency
- Build repeatable checks to identify tagging and completeness issues early
- Map piping rework causes and distinguish repetitive steps from complex judgments
- Clarify interface points with Process, Mechanical, I&C, Electrical, and Civil teams

- Direct experience with combined cycle, simple cycle, LNG, or cogeneration projects
- Owned line list and piping spec development through FEED phases
- Strong knowledge of high-energy steam cycles and balance of plant piping
- Proficient with ASME B31.1 for power piping and B31.3 for process piping
- Familiar with pipe stress analysis using CAESAR II or similar tools
- Experience with 3D model driven layout tools like AVEVA E3D or SmartPlant 3D
- Ability to spot inconsistencies across P&IDs and vendor packages quickly
Nice to have
- Experience as a discipline lead or technical authority
- Work on data center or behind-the-meter power campuses
- Knowledge of high-energy piping materials like P91 or P22 chrome-moly
