KBR employs approximately 29,000 people worldwide (including our joint ventures), with customers in more than 80 countries, and operations in 40 countries, across two synergistic global businesses.

To support our continued growth, we are proactively identifying top talent for future opportunities, ensuring we remain at the forefront of industry advancements.

As part of our long-term vision, we are pipelining experienced Lead Piping Engineers for upcoming projects. These roles will require professionals with extensive experience leading FEED and Detail Design teams. The individuals should have experience in equipment / plant layout and piping design in both Onshore and Offshore projects, working with the latest AVEVA & Smart 3D software or similar 3D CAD modelling systems. The candidates will be required to lead the layout development for piping and the project by coordinating and providing guidance to Area Leads and Piping Designers across all parts of the plant scope. The position requires oversight of the Piping Mechanical group for completion of the Piping Stress and Materials activities.

The candidates will be required to provide oversight and review for modelled equipment, pipework, preliminary structure, civil interfaces, and access/egress routes. A sound knowledge of stress and support requirements within a layout is essential, particularly for the brownfield scope where existing stress models and support locations require special consideration.

A key responsibility in this role will be to provide consistent and continuous coordination with the respective leads for pipe stress engineering and supports to ensure an optimised and efficiently produced piping design and deliverables in accordance with the project schedule.

Additionally, the role entails coordination duties and design lead recommendations with other engineering disciplines such as Structural, Civils, Mechanical, Safety, Mechanical Handling and Process. All work will be conducted to Detail Design level and issue of final construction deliverables.

Job Responsibilities:

• Develop a 3D CAD model for typical equipment and piping layouts of greenfield modules and brownfield modifications in process and utility areas.
• Due consideration given to access requirements for operations, mechanical handling & egress, preliminary structure and foundations, interfaces with underground services as required and pipework routings.
• Review construction access for installation and craneage.
• Set up work processes and design job notes for the piping team and cross-discipline interfaces.
• Coordinate and provide guidance to Area Lead Piping Designers in an advisory and approval capacity.
• Coordinate inputs to the layout from pipe stress engineering and pipe support design as part of the overall layout development.
• Manage and satisfy client expectations whilst proactively contributing feedback.
• Protect discipline budget and schedule commitments and management of change.
• Review and comment on piping and multi-discipline project document reviews.
• Provide regular input to piping weight management (where required), MTOs and discipline estimating.
• Communicate effectively with other engineering disciplines, co-ordinate and develop work process interfaces between Mechanical, Structural and Civils.
• Commit to multi-centre project execution strategies and supervision in technical support and coordination roles.
• Represent the piping discipline to the client at staged model reviews.
• Provide assistance to Piping deliverable production, checking and approvals.
• Participate in site visits if requested or site surveys if necessary.
• Adhere to KBR WAY engineering standards and procedures as appropriate and provide input to their ongoing development and enhancement.

Skills / Experience:

Essential

• Extensive knowledge of Piping Design and Onshore Plant Layout at Detail Design level.
• Onshore gas processing and refrigerant plant layout experience.
• Greenfield module layout and piping design for installation within an existing plant.
• Experience of Piping design in brownfield applications with an emphasis on site survey, tie-ins, CAD modelling for new and existing pipework definition and consideration of test limit locations.
• Past experience of plant layout and piping design responsibility in Area Lead positions.
• Experience, or an ability to step-up to, the responsibility of leadership in layout coordination for Area Lead Designers working across the piping team.
• A good understanding of the requirements and layout influences from stress and supports in brownfield routings, with an emphasis on tie-in locations for increased loadings, existing support restraints affecting updated pipe stress models and acquiring the appropriate survey data.
• Conversant with 3D CAD modelling systems, preferably AVEVA E3D.
• Effective communication skills including the ability to present at design reviews.

Desirable

• Conversant with AutoCAD for basic draughting updates or drawing interpretation.
• Hands-on CAD modelling experience with AVEVA or HEXAGON applications.
• Chartered Engineer

Qualifications:

• Desirable - Engineering Degree (BEng)
• Minimum - Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Plant Process Engineering or HNC/HND in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
