Position Overview

The Lead Piping PDMS Designer leads and coordinates 2D/3D design development using PDMS / AVEVA E3D, equipment and piping layout, piping routing, drawing production, isometric extraction support, clash resolution, model review action close-out, and model data quality 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 translating engineering requirements into accurate 3D models, layouts, drawings, and constructible design outputs.

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 and 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, routing, materials, site interfaces, 3D model quality, drawing production, and issue resolution across engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, and commissioning phases. It is expected to maintain strong interface control with process, mechanical, structural, 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 PDMS / AVEVA E3D 2D/3D design development, equipment and piping layout, piping routing, drawing production, isometric extraction support, clash resolution, model review action close-out, and model data quality in accordance with project specifications, client requirements, class/regulatory expectations, international codes, and company standards.
• Prepare, update, check, or coordinate 3D model areas, equipment and piping layouts, piping routing studies, plot plans, piping GA drawings, isometric extraction inputs, clash reports, model review action logs, MTO/model data checks, and as-built model updates, ensuring accuracy, revision traceability, constructability, and timely issue for project milestones.
• Convert engineering inputs, P&IDs, datasheets, vendor information, and review comments into coordinated 3D/2D design deliverables while maintaining consistency between models, drawings, and registers.
• 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, design 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

• Technical Diploma or Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Piping Engineering, Plant Design, Offshore/Marine Engineering, or a related design discipline.
• ~15 years of experience in layout and piping design for offshore, FPSO, marine, oil & gas, energy, petrochemical, or process plant projects, including the use of PDMS and/or AVEVA E3D. 
• Demonstrated experience in 2D/3D design development, equipment and piping layout, piping routing, drawing production, multidisciplinary coordination, and constructability reviews.
• Experience leading designers, coordinating project deliverables, and interfacing with engineering disciplines, vendors, fabrication yards, and clients.
