The Role

As a Piping Engineer Level II with Worley you will work closely with our existing team to deliver projects for our clients while continuing to develop your skills and experience etc.

• Piping Design & Layout Engineering:
  • Develop piping layouts for mining mineral processing and metal extraction facilities based on P&IDs process flow diagrams (PFDs) and client specifications.
  • Ensure the layout design optimizes space operational efficiency and ease of installation while meeting industry safety and environmental standards.
  • Prepare detailed piping design drawings including routing support placement and equipment integration.
  • Coordinate the layout of piping systems with other engineering disciplines such as civil mechanical and electrical to ensure seamless integration.
  • Select appropriate materials for piping systems based on factors such as fluid type temperature pressure and environmental conditions.
• FEED (Front-End Engineering Design):
  • Participate in the FEED phase of projects assisting in the development of piping layouts and preliminary designs.
  • Work with multidisciplinary teams to define project scope estimate costs and identify potential design challenges.
  • Review client specifications and ensure the design aligns with technical budgetary and scheduling requirements.
  • Contribute to the development of initial piping design concepts material take-offs and cost estimates.
• Detailed Engineering Design:
  • Prepare detailed engineering designs for the full scope of piping systems including pipe sizes materials valves and fittings as well as system integration.
  • Use S3D E3D AutoCAD Microstation Plant 3D or similar CAD software to develop accurate piping design drawings and layouts.
  • Coordinate with the stress analysis team to address any piping support and stress-related issues.
  • Ensure that all piping designs comply with applicable industry standards and codes (e.g. ASME API ANSI etc.).
• Layout Optimization:
  • Optimize piping layout designs for both new projects and modifications to existing plants by minimizing material usage reducing installation time and enhancing operational efficiency.
  • Review existing designs to identify potential areas for improvement and ensure that the piping layout adheres to best practices and operational needs.
• Coordination & Communication:
  • Work closely with internal teams clients contractors and vendors to ensure the timely and successful completion of projects.
  • Participate in 3D design reviews safety meetings and project coordination meetings to track progress and mitigate risks.
  • Maintain clear and consistent communication regarding project milestones design changes and any potential challenges.
• Quality Control & Compliance:
  • Ensure the piping design meets quality standards and safety regulations in accordance with project requirements local regulations and industry codes.
  • Perform thorough checks to confirm design accuracy material selection and compliance with specifications.

About You

To be considered for this role it is envisaged you will possess the following attributes:

• Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering Chemical Engineering or a related field.
• A minimum of 5 years of experience in piping design layout engineering and detailed engineering in the mining mineral and metal industries or related heavy industries.
• Proficient in S3D E3D AutoCAD Microstation Plant 3D or similar 3D CAD software used for piping design.
• In-depth knowledge of piping codes and standards (e.g. ASME API ANSI ISO) and the ability to apply them effectively in design.
• Experience in FEED and detailed design phases of projects from initial concept to final design.
• Familiarity with stress analysis and material selection for various operating conditions (pressure temperature and corrosion resistance).
• Strong understanding of piping layout principles including routing spacing support design and integration with equipment and structures.
• Experience working on large-scale mining or metallurgical plant projects.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and coordination skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
