About the Job

Requirements

  • A completed Bachelor's or Master's degree in mechanical engineering or a comparable qualification.
  • At least five years of professional experience in piping and plant layout engineering, ideally in oil and gas, refining, petrochemical, chemical plant construction, or comparable industries.
  • Sound knowledge of international standards and technical regulations, particularly ASME B31.3, ASME B36.10, ASME B16.5, ASME B36.19, EN 13480, EN 10220, EN 1127, and ANSI/ASME standards.
  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and 3D planning software such as SP3D or E3D.
  • Experience designing and constructing steel and plastic piping systems, with good mechanical understanding.
  • Knowledge of process parameters such as pressure, temperature, flow, and level, as well as related measurement and control technology.
  • Strong technical understanding, good spatial visualization, and a careful, detail-oriented working style.
  • Very good spoken and written German and English.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze and implement technical requirements and convert 2D P&IDs and piping lists into 3D CAD models, including pipe routing, technical drawings, isometrics, and plant layouts.
  • Create and maintain piping specifications, material classes, pressure ratings, pipe wall thicknesses, connection specifications, and material class indexes in accordance with international norms and standards.
  • Perform technical calculations and analyses, including hydraulic design, pressure-loss and wall-thickness calculations, piping flexibility analyses, and static and dynamic stress analyses in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, and EN 13480.
  • Check allowable loads at pump and static-equipment nozzles in accordance with WRC-107 and coordinate with relevant disciplines regarding mechanical loads on plant components.
  • Design and specify pipe supports in collaboration with the Pipe Stress Engineer, and check support locations and types against approved stress analyses and technical drawings.
  • Create and maintain technical documentation, including piping lists, critical piping lists, material take-offs, bills of materials, datasheets for special piping components, material requisitions, and technical bid tabulations.
  • Contribute to developing and reviewing P&IDs, package specifications, design and fabrication specifications, project schedules, budgets, and construction sequencing plans.
  • Evaluate customer-specific requirements, identify technical deviations, develop suitable alternatives, and contribute across project phases from feasibility studies and basic engineering through FEED, detailed engineering, EPC, and EPCM projects.
  • Review vendor drawings and coordinate and support inspection, testing, and acceptance activities for piping and plant components, including insulation, coating, pressure testing, and non-destructive examination requirements.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant international standards, technical codes, customer specifications, and internal quality standards.
  • Work closely with internal departments, the Lead Engineer, customers, suppliers, EPC contractors, and other project stakeholders, and participate in cross-functional project and coordination meetings.
  • Ensure the technical quality, completeness, and accuracy of work products and complete assigned tasks on schedule.

Desired Qualifications

  • Additional technical expertise in SOEC, methane steam reforming, fuel cells, clean fuels, energy storage systems, and/or chemical synthesis such as ammonia and methanol.
  • Working knowledge of CAESAR II pipe stress analysis software.
  • Knowledge of Swagelok piping systems and associated fittings.
  • Experience with materials management software and knowledge of materials and corrosion analysis.
  • Knowledge of the operation and performance of pressure vessels, pumps, and heat exchangers.
  • Knowledge of relevant statutory and regulatory requirements, particularly compliance, area classification, and building regulations.
