Job description

We are seeking an experienced piping engineer to join our Abu Dhabi-based design team for a high-profile offshore oil and gas project in the Middle East. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in the design and execution of offshore piping systems with a focus on detailed engineering. This position offers a unique opportunity to work on a technically challenging and strategically important project within a dynamic multicultural engineering environment.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and review piping design deliverables including PFDs, P&IDs, piping layouts, isometrics, and material specifications in accordance with project standards.
• Ensure compliance with applicable codes (ASME, API, ANSI, etc.), client requirements, and international standards.
• Perform pipe stress analysis using tools such as CAESAR II and coordinate with structural and mechanical teams for resolution of interface issues.
• Prepare technical specifications for piping components, valves, supports, and specialty items.
• Liaise with procurement and construction teams to ensure deliverability and constructability of designs.
• Conduct site surveys and interface meetings as required to support offshore design validation.
• Participate in design reviews (e.g., HAZOP, model reviews) and incorporate comments and resolutions into final deliverables.
• Support the development of material take-offs (MTOs), weight control estimates, and piping class specifications.
• Mentor junior engineers and support technical troubleshooting during the design phase.

Key qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent.
• Minimum 8-12 years of relevant experience in the oil and gas sector with a significant focus on offshore projects.
• Proven track record in detailed engineering for offshore piping systems.
• Proficiency in piping design software tools such as AutoCAD Plant 3D, SmartPlant, PDMS/E3D, and CAESAR II.
• Strong understanding of offshore codes and standards (e.g., DNV, ISO, API).
• Experience with FEED and EPC phases is highly desirable.
• Excellent communication, coordination, and problem-solving skills.
• Prior experience working in or with engineering teams in the Middle East is preferred.
• Professional engineering license (PE or equivalent).
• Offshore survival (BOSIET) beneficial but not mandatory.
• Project management or technical training certifications a plus.
