Job Overview

The senior piping engineer will hold primary responsibility for managing cost, quality, and the engineering timeline within the control discipline. This role includes providing support for procurement activities and developing strategies and execution plans for discipline implementation. The engineer will coordinate interface management efforts and report quarterly to COOEC counterparts and the COOEC Project Management Team (PMT).

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor and control project costs by suggesting optimizations that contribute to cost savings in the discipline.

• Manage change orders submitted by subcontractors and vendors to control project budgets.
• Review deliverables from engineering subcontractors to ensure they comply with relevant standards and codes, maintaining high quality.
• Restrict post-AFC changes to avoid negative impacts on manufacturing and procurement stages.
• Track progress of discipline deliverables, including 3D modeling and specialist studies, ensuring variance does not exceed 3%. Provide detailed reports to COOEC PMT if this threshold is crossed.
• Collaborate closely with subcontractors, vendors, and QatarEnergy to resolve delivery challenges and prevent delays affecting other disciplines or fabrication and procurement activities.
• Support procurement through reviewing and monitoring Material Requisitions (MRs), Technical Bid Evaluations (TBEs), specifications, and data sheets.
• Participate in technical tender document reviews, clarifications, and bid evaluations.
• Evaluate vendor documents and join equipment Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT); prepare checklists and reports while tracking closure of FAT comments.
• Engage in weekly meetings and other discussions related to process discipline management.
