Snapshot of your day

The Piping Engineer works with other engineering teams in Siemens Energy or other external organizations to develop and recommend strategies and innovative approaches to piping designs for Simple Cycle and Combined Cycle Power Plants and Hydrogen Production Islands, including providing detailed quantity estimates to support pricing during the proposal phase.

Location: Orlando, FL

How You’ll Make an Impact

The specific responsibilities assigned to the position (but not limited to) are:

• Coordinate technical internal interfaces between Econopac (GT), Steam Turbine, Generator, Silyzer (Electrolyzer) equipment and Plant Engineering and external interfaces or Architect Engineers (A/E) and drive plant piping designs.
• Solve engineering problems as they relate to piping design, coordinate technical interfaces, and ensure they are clearly defined.
• Develop, maintain, and issue design specifications and drawings related to plant layout and piping.
• Review internal and external project documents and ensure proper definition and understanding of the requirements.
• Implement the plant layout / piping scope in accordance with project requirements and the project schedule.
• Review A/E designs and ensure work is consistent with project specific requirements.
• Develop detailed BoQ’s for piping in the bid phase and take full responsibility for meeting piping critical metrics.
• Develop technical RFQ packages for piping to solicit bids from suppliers and perform bid evaluations.
• Take full ownership of the piping package during project execution. Successful candidate will be responsible for expediting suppliers on hardware and software, review, and approval of supplier documentation, performing quality control (FAT) at the supplier’s facility and release packages for shipment.
• Provide field support for the piping scope during construction and commissioning.
• Follow established change control processes to evaluate the impacts of proposed design changes and provide recommendations to the project team.
• Visit operating power plants to collect piping and plant layout data related to implementation of proposed plant improvements or upgrades and work closely with the SEI Service organization to design and implement the required changes.
• Work with the 3D Plant Design team and review piping model updates received from the A/E on a regular basis to identify potential issues and resolve them.

What You Bring

• Four (4) year degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field from an accredited College or University.
• 5+ years of power plant piping experience in an EPC or Architect Engineering organization with hands-on experience in designing high energy balance of plant piping systems, pipe stress analysis using Caesar-II or AutoPipe and pipe support selection / design.
• Good working knowledge of the ASME B31.1 power piping code and related ASME standards such as B16.5, B16.9, B16.11, B16.25, B16.34, B16.47, etc.
• Good working knowledge of piping materials used in the power plant industry for various applications.
• Good working knowledge of various types of valves and pipe specialties.
• Ability to independently develop piping designs for new power generation units and upgrades to existing units.
• Ability to interpret historical weather data and select the ambient conditions for insulation design. Ability to select appropriate insulation materials and perform insulation thickness calculations based on site ambient conditions and process requirements.
• Experience with OpenPlant, E3D or similar 3D modeling tools.
• Experience in the development and implementation of modular piping designs. Direct experience with FAT (Factory Acceptance Tests) of modular and non-modular piping designs.
• Basic knowledge of Thermal Cycle Engineering, BOP system design, and Plant Integration.
• Ability to read and interpret sophisticated engineering drawings and schematics such as heat and mass flow diagrams, P&IDs, PFDs, water balance diagrams, etc.
• Hold a Professional Engineer License in at least one US State and willingness to acquire licenses from other US States and seal drawings, as needed, to support the needs of specific Projects driven by SEI.
• Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization.

Preferred skills and competencies:

Solid understanding in the following:

• Hydrogen production plants (using electrolyzers) and associated equipment.
• ASME B31.12 Code.
• Welding and heat treatment processes related to power plant piping materials.
• NDE techniques generally used to evaluate power plant piping materials and installations.
• Piping hardness testing.
• Electric heat tracing for freeze protection
