To independently handle the piping activities, prepare, manage, and produce the critical engineering deliverables for the assigned project (that may include short-term assignment to Construction, Commissioning, and Offshore) effectively and efficiently according to the specified technical requirements, timelines and within budget, and deal independently with and resolve all the issues of the project, and provide guidance to the assigned members. Shares the knowledge and experience with team members and guides the engineers and designers in carrying out the assigned task correctly and efficiently.
Responsibilities:
Works independently to perform the assigned task and develops solutions to technical/engineering and related problems by analyzing the issue or data, interpreting the analysis, and evaluating various options/measures using experience, precedents, and professional references with minimal or no supervision or guidance.
Understand technical requirements of project specifications and standards, local statutory and regulatory requirements, Classification society requirements, and applicable codes and standard industry practices to carry out the piping activities and prepare piping deliverables for assigned projects.
Prepares the criteria for pipe supporting and pipe support specification by using and modifying the MODEC corporate specifications suitably to match the project-specific requirements.
Prepares piping stress analysis specification by using the MODEC corporate specifications and modifying them suitably to meet the project-specific requirements
Carries out the piping stress analysis of all critical lines using the project-specific data and environmental conditions at the fabrication yard, during transport, and at the operating location of the facility to satisfy the project and applicable code requirements. - Coordinates with engineering contractor to implement flexibility analysis findings in selecting piping support regarding support type, loads on restraints, and special support requirements. - Prepares data sheets and details for spring supports taking inputs from stress analysis reports. Carries out surge analysis for cargo offloading system, sea water lift pump system, and fire water system and reviews the contractor-prepared documents and piping arrangement layout drawings.
Reviews the isometric of all stress critical lines to verify that the support locations and support type align with the flexibility analysis report and are adequate to withstand the expected loading conditions.
Provides technical support and advice to construction yard and commissioning work at the site. Where necessary, provides off-site support and guidance.
When assigned to the construction site, checks and verifies the piping supports are constructed and installed as per isometrics and support drawing details ensuring support functionality in operating condition and providing resolutions to piping material queries originating from the construction site.
Supports the Lead Piping Engineer and assists in preparing lessons learned during the project's execution for further processing through the MOPS/OFS Lessons Learned Process.
Complies with the relevant clauses of MODEC HSEQ Code of Conduct as described in the HSEQ Policies, HSEQ Standards, and HSEQ Procedures to protect people and the environment at all times. Has a duty of care to ensure that all personnel works in a manner that is not harmful to their own health and safety and the health and safety of others.
Complies with the MODEC Group Policy Code of Business Conduct and Ethics at all times.
