Piping Chief Designer – Onshore LNG Plant (Brownfield and Greenfield)
Position Description:
We are looking for a Piping Chief Designer to work on layout development of greenfield modules and brownfield modifications within an existing Onshore LNG Plant based in Western Australia.
The individual should have relevant experience in equipment / plant layout for an LNG facility and piping design, working with the latest Intergraph Smart 3D software or similar 3D CAD modelling systems. The candidate is required to lead the layout development for piping and the project by coordinating and providing guidance to Area Leads and Piping Designers across all parts of the plant scope. This position is the most senior layout coordination role on the project reporting directly to the Lead Piping Engineer.
The candidate is required to provide oversight and review for modelled equipment, pipework, preliminary structure, civil interfaces, and access/egress routes. A sound knowledge of stress and support requirements within a layout is essential, particularly for the brownfield scope where existing stress models and support locations require special consideration. The project will rely upon laser survey data for migration into the CAD design model, experience of this type of work would be advantageous.
A key responsibility in this role is to provide consistent and continuous coordination with the respective leads for pipe stress engineering and supports to ensure an optimised and efficiently produced piping design and deliverables in accordance with the project schedule.
Additionally, the role entails coordination duties and design lead recommendations with other engineering disciplines such as Structural, Civils, Mechanical, Safety, Mechanical Handling and Process. All work will be conducted to Detail Design level and issue of final construction deliverables.
Regular duties will also include review of project documents, preparation, and involvement in presentation of project Model Reviews at multi-discipline level, checking of plot plans, equipment layouts and all piping fabrication deliverables associated with greenfield Detail Design or brownfield Workpacks.
The position is based in KBR’s Leatherhead Campus. Flexible working can be considered on occasions for certain types of work, however there are expectations that this role will require reasonable office attendance where interaction with the project management team or client is necessary, or for coordination duties at work process management level.

Job Responsibilities:
- Develop a 3D CAD model for typical equipment and piping layouts of greenfield modules and brownfield modifications in process and utility areas.
- Due consideration given to access requirements for operations, mechanical handling & egress, preliminary structure and foundations, interfaces with underground services as required and pipework routings.
- Review construction access for installation and craneage.
- Set up work processes and design job notes for the piping team and cross-discipline interfaces.
- Coordinate and provide guidance to Area Lead Piping Designers in an advisory and approval capacity.
- Coordinate inputs to the layout from pipe stress engineering and pipe support design as part of
- Manage and satisfy client expectations whilst proactively contributing feedback.
- Protect discipline budget and schedule commitments and consult with the Lead Piping Engineer on management of change.
- Review and comment on piping and multi-discipline project document reviews.
- Provide regular input to piping weight management (where required), MTOs and discipline estimating.
- Communicate effectively with other engineering disciplines, co-ordinate and develop work process interfaces between Mechanical, Structural and Civils.
- Commit to multi-centre project execution strategies and supervision in technical support and coordination roles.
