Piping Field Engineer Specialist

Position Summary: The Piping Field Engineer Specialist is responsible for supporting construction, quality inspections, and system turnover activities through detailed field walkdowns, system verification, and documentation readiness. This role focuses on verifying installed piping systems against design requirements, isometric and P&ID drawings, identifying discrepancies, creating punch lists, supporting test package development, and ensuring systems are mechanically complete and ready for testing and turnover. Field walkdowns and installation verification are a core function of piping FE roles supporting turnover activities. Key Responsibilities: Field Walkdowns / Line Walking: Perform system & test package line walks to verify installation against: Isometric drawings. P&IDs. Plot plans. Identify and document punch items and deficiencies: Validate examples: Valve orientation (“PPE” Preferred Pressure End /”VE” Vent End). Valve Accessibility and operability. Proper installation of components (valves, fittings, pipe supports). Confirm piping routing, slope, and tie-ins match design requirements. Field walkdowns and discrepancy identification are core daily tasks for piping FE support roles. Quality Verification Support: Support inspections ensuring compliance with: Project specifications. Applicable standards/codes. Verify: Flange alignment and integrity. Bolt-up completeness. Material traceability. Pipe cleanliness requirements. Assist in nonconformance identification and reporting (NCRs). Test Package & Turnover Support: Assist with test package preparation and verification Ensure: Validate boundaries and system limits. All components are installed and documented. Pressure test documentation is complete and accurate. Track: Hydrotest / pneumatic test readiness. Flushing and cleaning activities. Construction Support / Interface: Provide technical support to construction teams during installation Coordinate with: Superintendents. Engineering. Assist in resolving: Field installation issues. Design discrepancies and Constructability concerns. Documentation & Reporting: Generate and maintain: Walkdown reports. Punch lists. System readiness status. Ensure all inspection and turnover documentation is: Complete and accurate. Safety and Quality Compliance: Participate in: Job briefs. Toolbox talks. Safety meetings. Adhere to: Company Quality Absolutes. Project safety procedures. Support safe execution of: Construction installation activities. Pressure testing activities System turnover operations. Daily Activities (Typical): Conduct line walks and update punch lists. Verify valve orientation, tagging, and installation details. Track system status (construction → testing → turnover). Support test package compilation and verification. Required Qualifications: 5 to 12 years piping and or mechanical engineering related field experience (preferred). Experience in B31.3 Process Piping construction/installation (LNG or similar preferred). Strong knowledge of interpretation of: P&IDs, isometrics, and plot plans. ASME B31.3 and applicable codes. Ability to perform field walkdowns and identify discrepancies. Strong communication and coordination skills. Preferred Skills: Experience with: Computer literate in word processing, Excel etc. Quality validation/inspections. Pipe pressure testing and system turnover. Knowledge of: Flange management. Valve installation requirements. Pipe cleanliness standards. Performance Expectations: High attention to detail during Piping Installation and Testing Package line walks. Timely identification of installation discrepancies. Strong coordination with construction and field engineering teams. Support “Right the First Time” execution and turnover readiness. Additional Information: Must be willing to work a flexible schedule as required that may include but not limited to nightshift or split shift. Work requires the physical ability to conduct field inspections including but not limited to: Extensive walking in and around a construction site often in high heat and high humidity conditions, climbing ladders, climbing scaffolding, working on elevated platforms, working on uneven surfaces, and working in small or confined spaces. Some lifting may be required. Must have the ability to walk into and out of the project (enter/egress). Must be able to use appropriate standard issued Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) required for each assigned task (i.e. harness, life vest, lift buckets, etc.).
