As a Graduate Piping Engineer, you will support the delivery of safe, efficient, and code-compliant piping systems. Your role will include:
Piping Design Support
Assist in the design and layout of piping systems for oil and gas facilities
Support preparation of engineering deliverables including line lists, piping specifications, and material requisitions
Develop engineering sketches and markups to support drafting/design teams in creating 3D models and drawings
Assist with material take-offs (MTOs), quantities, and documentation
Coordination & Team Collaboration
Work with multidisciplinary teams including process, mechanical, civil, electrical, and instrumentation
Participate in design reviews and model reviews under guidance from senior engineers
Support communication with internal teams and, as appropriate, vendors and clients
Project Execution & Delivery
Support the delivery of piping deliverables in alignment with scope, schedule, and quality requirements
Assist with vendor data reviews, technical queries, and procurement support activities
Contribute to project documentation such as design basis memorandums (DBMs) and work packages
Construction & Field Support
Assist with responses to RFIs and technical queries during construction
Support field engineering activities, including site visits and inspections as required
Help ensure designs remain practical, constructible, and aligned with project intent
Safety, Quality & Compliance
