Piping Field Engineer

Piping Field Engineer

For several our projects, we’re looking for experienced Piping Field Engineers, who will work in a site-based engineering team for projects with brownfield/revamp scope. You enjoy working at the site and spend a significant amount of your time in the field determining locations of tie-ins, equipment locations and routing of new piping systems. You maintain good cooperation with our Clients and work with them to determine to optimum locations and installation methods for new piping and equipment in the existing facilities. P&IDs reflecting the scope in the brownfield are maintained by you, as well as the coordination with folks in the Home Office, such as Piping Stress Engineers.

When 3D modeling is performed in the Home Office or another office, you provide guidance and review of the modeling efforts and chair/participate in model reviews.

You are site-based, meaning you will work in an office at the facilities of our Client for most of the time. When needed, you will work in the Home Office to align with the project team, participate in meetings and reviews when not possible for videoconference. Working together with other (local) engineering partners is something you have done before.

Key responsibilities
• Resolve technical problems related to piping design at the site, propose field solutions, and liaise with the home office engineering team if complex technical problems cannot be solved by Field Engineering Team
• Perform site walks and walk downs on the facilities of our Clients
• Develop relationships with the local Client team
• Develop installation philosophies and execution plans of new piping systems and new equipment to be installed in existing facilities
• Determine tie-in locations in cooperation with the Client organization
• Develop piping engineering deliverables for brownfield/revamp scope, either developed manually or via 2D CAD, such as Piping Plans, Piping Isometrics, P&IDs and tie-in packages
• Coordinate laser scanning at site with specific contractors
• Coordinate 3D modeling of piping scope in existing facilities with the Engineering Home Offices, including global execution centers
• Provide engineering support to field procurement activities as needed, such as develop technical scopes or MTOs
• Attend piping contractor weekly coordination meetings if requested
• Flexible in working location
• Actively stimulate and participate in continuous improvement of work procedures and practices using principles from LEAN, such as Value Stream Mapping, Kanban boards, etc) during project execution.

Proven Experience
• Minimum of 15 years of relevant work experience
• In possession of Dutch VCA-VOL Certificate (Safety, Health and Environment Checklist Contractors)
• Proven Field Experience in Engineering and Construction
• Plant Turn-Around (TAR) experience is preferred
