Position Overview

The Lead Layout & Piping Engineer - 3D Model leads and governs piping layout engineering, pipe routing, 3D model development, multidisciplinary model integration, isometric and support inputs, tie-in coordination, constructability review, and vendor/interface issue resolution for FPSO, FLNG, fixed platform, offshore renewable, onshore power, petrochemical, LNG, hydrogen/ammonia, CCS, and other complex plant projects. This role contributes to safe, constructible, compliant, and cost-effective project delivery by defining technical requirements, verifying layout and 3D model compliance with engineering requirements, resolving technical queries, and safeguarding design integrity.

The position works in a multidisciplinary FEED/EPCI environment with engineering, procurement, vendors, fabrication yards, construction, commissioning, and project management teams. The role manages discipline scope, model/deliverable schedule, resource priorities, client and subcontractor interfaces, review close-out, and progress/risk reporting for assigned project areas.

The position supports model-based delivery, piping integrity, constructability, and field readiness by coordinating layout, materials, site interfaces, 3D model quality, drawing extraction, and issue resolution across engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, and commissioning phases. It is expected to maintain strong interface control with process, mechanical, structure, E&I, vendor, and site teams to secure timely and practical outcomes.

At this level, the role provides day-to-day leadership for assigned scopes, coordinates resources and interfaces, reviews deliverables, and ensures that work is executed in line with schedule, quality, and technical expectations. The position is expected to guide more junior team members, proactively address risks, and maintain alignment between discipline work, project priorities, and stakeholder requirements.

Key Responsibility

• Lead and coordinate piping layout engineering, pipe routing, isometric and support inputs, tie-in coordination, constructability review, and vendor/interface issue resolution in accordance with project specifications, client requirements, class/regulatory expectations, international codes, and company standards.
• Prepare, update, check, or coordinate piping layouts, pipe routing studies, isometrics, support inputs, tie-in lists, technical query responses, vendor document comments, and design review close-out records, ensuring accuracy, revision traceability, constructability, and timely issue for project milestones.
• Define or verify technical requirements, calculations, design basis assumptions, specifications, technical requisitions, vendor document comments, and technical query responses within the assigned discipline.
• Coordinate interfaces with process, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, structural, safety, procurement, construction, commissioning, vendors, subcontractors, and fabrication yards to close interdisciplinary issues.
• Support 30% / 60% / 90% design reviews, model reviews, layout reviews, constructability reviews, HAZOP/HAZID inputs where relevant, and client/vendor comment close-out.
• Identify constructability concerns, interface gaps, material or vendor data risks, schedule impacts, and management-of-change items; communicate mitigation actions clearly.
• Maintain engineering records, drawing/model data, review comments, calculations or registers, and as-built information in accordance with document control and quality procedures.
• Manage assigned scope, manpower priorities, deliverable schedule, subcontractor interfaces, progress reporting, and recovery actions for late or high-risk deliverables.

Qualification

• Minimum 15 years’ experience in the offshore or onshore oil and gas industry
• Minimum consecutive 7 years’ experience at top-tier FPSO contractor or Offshore/Onshore EPC contractor (minimum 7 continuous years working experience in the same contractor)
• Minimum 2 FPSO EPCI Project experience from the beginning of project (engineering) until the sail-away to site or delivery of FPSO
