If you enjoy setting the standard, guiding design teams, and ensuring piping systems are safe, cost-effective and buildable, this is a fantastic leadership opportunity with our client in Reading. You'll bring depth in piping and pipelines-plus the credibility to influence decisions early and keep quality front and centre.
What you'll be doing:
* Lead piping and pipeline design oversight across engineering, quality and fabrication-covering large-bore and high-alloy process and utility piping, pipelines, storage vessels and tanks
* Own and develop project piping and pipeline standards, optimising design concepts and driving practical specifications (pipe classes and piping specifications)
* Identify critical deliverables and calculations, prioritising reviews to confirm compliance with regulatory, industry and project standards-while protecting cost effectiveness
* Provide technical guidance to contractor-led design, analysis and maintenance of piping and pipeline systems, working closely with other disciplines to anticipate and resolve issues
* Use stress analysis expertise to spot design optimisation opportunities, including where new technologies, tools and methods can improve outcomes
* Support mechanical integrity reviews for existing piping-applying fitness-for-service principles, relevant codes and risk management approaches under operating conditions
* Help shape engineering surveillance and planning by using piping and pipelines insight to prioritise key equipment and value-adding work
What you'll bring:
* Breadth across mechanical discipline, with proven depth across piping and pipeline design and engineering
* Strong technical judgement spanning piping system design issues, early-stage development and risk-based interpretation of deviations
* Experience applying stress analysis and fitness-for-service thinking to drive safe, suitable and optimised outcomes
* Confidence providing technical oversight and collaborative leadership to deliver on design quality and project requirements
