Piping Designers/Draftsmen/Checker

Roles & Responsibilities:

Piping Designer:

• Develop piping layouts in 2D and 3D based on P&IDs, equipment layouts, and design criteria.
• Design and route process and utility piping systems with proper clearances, supports, and accessibility.
• Generate isometric drawings, pipe support drawings, and general arrangement (GA) drawings.
• Coordinate with process, mechanical, civil, electrical, and instrumentation teams to ensure clash-free designs.
• Ensure compliance with piping material specifications, stress analysis input, and line class data.
• Model equipment and piping in 3D tools (e.g., E3D, PDMS, AutoPlant, SmartPlant 3D).

Piping Draftsman:

• Prepare and update 2D drawings including piping plans, sections, and isometrics under the guidance of designers or engineers.
• Convert 3D model outputs into readable and standardized drawings.
• Annotate drawings with accurate bills of materials, welds, and dimensions.
• Apply drawing standards, symbols, and industry codes (e.g., ASME, ANSI).

Piping Checker:

• Review and verify piping drawings, isometrics, and 3D models for accuracy and compliance.
• Check for alignment with project standards, piping codes, and client requirements.
• Identify potential clashes, misrouting, or dimensional errors using 3D modeling tools or review platforms (e.g., Navisworks, SmartReview).
• Validate line numbers, material classes, and weld count summaries.
• Provide redline markups and work closely with designers and engineers to implement corrections.

Must-Have Skills & Tools:

• Diploma or Degree in Mechanical / Piping Engineering or related technical discipline.
• 7-10 yrs of experience within the oil & gas or petrochemical industry.
• AutoCAD, MicroStation, E3D, PDMS, SP3D, AutoPlant, Navisworks, SmartPlant Review
• Pipe routing, support types, tie-ins, pipe rack layouts, nozzles, valves
• Proficiency in model navigation, clash detection, layout optimization
• Clear coordination with multidisciplinary teams and ability to interpret engineering inputs
• Eye for detail, understanding of tolerances, drawing consistency, and documentation accuracy

Expected Outcomes:

• Efficient, clash-free piping layouts aligned with project specifications and 3D model integrity
• Accurate, clear, and standards-compliant 2D deliverables (GAs, isos, sections) ready for construction
• Error-free, quality-assured piping packages with verified data and minimized rework during fabrication and installation
