Senior Piping Designer
Lead Design & 3D Modeling:
Spearhead complex 3D plant modeling using AVEVA E3D for large-scale metals and mining projects (e.g., concentrator plants, crushing/grinding areas, hydrometallurgical plants, tailings disposal systems, and slurry pumping stations).
Develop optimal plot plans, equipment layouts, and pipe routing strategies adhering strictly to safety, operability, and constructability principles.
Catalog & Specification Management:
Set up, customize, and manage E3D project catalogs, specifications (Specs), and pipe support databases tailored to project requirements and international standards.
Drawing & Deliverable Production:
Oversee and review the generation of accurate Piping General Arrangement (GA) drawings, sections, elevations, and construction-ready piping isometrics out of E3D / ISODRAFT.
Ensure high quality and accuracy of Piping Material Take-Offs (MTOs) and bulk material estimations.
Inter-Disciplinary & Multi-Office Coordination:
Translate complex Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) into physical 3D routing configurations.
Collaborate seamlessly with civil, structural, electrical, and process engineering teams.
Utilize AVEVA Review / Navisworks for comprehensive clash detection sessions, design reviews, and model health checks.
Coordinate closely with pipe stress engineers to integrate critical spring, guide, and anchor support designs.
Team Leadership & Quality Assurance:
Mentor, guide, and review the work of junior and mid-level piping designers.
Ensure all engineering designs comply with relevant international codes and standards (e.g., ASME B31.1, B31.3, ISO) as well as client-specific specifications.
Lead 30%, 60%, and 90% model review audits with clients and internal stakeholders.
