Roles & Responsibilities
Provides the technical & technological problem-solving ability of design engineering and planning abilities in order to input to the operational performance of complex offshore mechanical and piping engineering projects in close coordination with commercial (estimating), production (workshops) and operations (project management & planning) departments. Develops, completes, check piping systems in conformance with contract work scope, statutory & code requirements, Integrated Management System (IMS) procedures, design parameters, site survey input, piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID), stress inputs & vendor data.
Accountabilities
1. Provides technical and critical business inputs to the design engineering process in the phases such as problem definition, conceptual design, preliminary design, detailed design, and design communication.
2. Aware of latest industry practice for piping systems for rigs and applies this to projects as value creating technical input.
3. Develop machinery arrangement plans for different machinery spaces on offshore structures, rigs, like engine room, pump rooms, switchboard rooms, machinery decks, helideck as per client requirement, class & statutory rules, offshore design codes & vendor drawings.
4. Review contract technical documents & develop work scope.
5. Prepare technical clarifications, assign work to engineers, designers, develop design plan for piping & mechanical system scope.
6. Prepare list of design deliverables in line with the scope of work.
7. Prepare schedule for detailed engineering based on the construction schedule.
8. Develop technical specifications & Request for Quotations (RFQ) for various static & rotating equipment’s equipment like, air compressors, pumps, water makers, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, purifiers, anchor winches, Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC), foam systems, water heaters, etc. for procurement & bidding purposes in accordance with various design requirements contract technical specifications, relevant Industry and statutory codes.
9. Establish calculations for mechanical & piping systems compressed air, HVAC, seawater, ballast, bilge, fire main, potable water, engine cooling, exhaust system, vent & sound, emergency bilge, hydraulic piping system, sanitary & deck drain system etc.
10. Ensure department IMS procedures are followed for design development & control
11. Review the owner & class comments.
12. Resolve site issues & give solutions to production.
13. Responsible for training & development of the piping & mechanical engineering team
14. Identify and create potential change orders as per technical scope of work.
15. Advise head of marine on technical issues to ensure class compliance & owner comments.
16. Ensuring that engineering deliverables are completed as per the agreed project schedule & with acceptable quality.
17. Proper delegation of work to the piping designer & ensuring the engineering KPIs for piping engineering department is achieved.
18. Guiding the piping designers to develop drawings in accordance with the contract specifications
19. Estimate the manhours piping engineering during the bidding stage of the project.
20. Monitor the manhours spent by the electrical designers in development of piping drawings upon award of project.
21. Evaluate the comments from client and identify potential change orders
22. Ensure that drawings are issued in line with the safety requirements of the yard & the classification rules.
23. Ensures that design meets all the statutory code requirements specified in the contract.
24. Displays safe behaviour on site and in the office
25. Ensures drawings & design are produced to meet the contract technical specs & class rules.
26. Works along with the designer to produce drawings to meet the department KPIs for quality.
