Lead Piping Engineer – Offshore Project KBR Abu Dhabi PMC Team  is currently looking to fill a position of Lead Piping Engineer for an Offshore  Project to be based in UAE ( Abu Dhabi) as soon as the administrative processes are completed, will then relocate to Spain Office and then return to Abu Dhabi  . Job Purpose The Lead Piping Engineer is responsible for leading piping engineering activities for offshore facilities, ensuring safe, reliable, and cost-effective design, installation, and integration of piping systems within existing offshore infrastructure. The role supports FEED, detailed engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and brownfield modification activities while ensuring compliance with project specifications, ADNOC requirements, and international standards.

Piping Engineering & Design Lead piping design and engineering activities for offshore water injection systems. Develop and review piping specifications, material classes, datasheets, and design philosophies. Review and approve piping layouts, General Arrangement (GA) drawings, isometrics, and 3D models. Ensure piping systems are designed for operability, maintainability, safety, and constructability. Perform piping routing studies considering space constraints and brownfield integration requirements. Support line sizing, pressure drop calculations, and hydraulic assessments. Stress Analysis & Flexibility Review piping stress analyses and flexibility studies. Ensure piping systems comply with code requirements for thermal expansion, vibration, and operational loads. Coordinate with stress engineers to resolve high-stress and support-related issues. Review critical line support arrangements and expansion solutions. Material & Corrosion Management Define piping material specifications suitable for seawater, treated water, and utility systems. Assess corrosion risks and recommend mitigation measures. Ensure material selection complies with process requirements and design life expectations. Review corrosion allowance requirements and protective coating specifications. Brownfield & Offshore Modifications Conduct offshore site surveys and brownfield assessments. Develop tie-in strategies and piping modification plans. Support shutdown planning and SIMOPS activities. Evaluate existing facilities and identify integration challenges for new water injection systems. Ensure minimum impact on ongoing production operations during project execution. Multidisciplinary Coordination Coordinate with Process, Mechanical, Structural, Instrumentation, Electrical, and Operations teams. Resolve interdisciplinary design clashes and interface issues. Participate in design reviews, constructability workshops, and model reviews. Provide technical guidance to design and drafting teams. Procurement & Vendor Support Prepare material requisitions and technical specifications. Support bid evaluations and vendor selection processes. Review vendor package piping interfaces and integration requirements. Resolve technical queries related to piping materials and fabrication. Construction & Commissioning Support Provide engineering support during fabrication, installation, testing, and commissioning. Review construction work packs and
