Piping Engineer

Piping engineering is a major engineering discipline that focuses on fluid mechanics.

A piping engineer usually works in the oil & gas downstream industry, where piping constitutes of 40~45% of the total cost in refinery, petrochemical and fertiliser process plants.

A piping system is critical to any process plant; hence it needs to be designed and constructed with precision and care. A piping engineer is responsible for the piping proposal and layout for a plant, and he or she must ensure that the proposed pipe routing is efficient, safe and will not fail beyond acceptable limits due to pressure, temperature, or any other ambient conditions. While design work is mainly performed using CAD software, this role may require you to be stationed on plants, and work on shifts to monitor and ensure accurate and precise piping systems installation.

You need strong team spirit and interpersonal skills to interact with clients, technicians, and other professionals like mechanical engineers and civil engineers.
