The position of Piping Technical Lead aims at supporting the field design activities for the piping discipline. It will lead to handle different interfaces with several disciplines and solve piping engineering topics raised during on-site installation of pipework and associated supports. The main tasks will be the following:

·       Gathering input data, analysing/updating hypothesis notes, and preparing loading description reports.

·       Engaging with various stakeholders (installation contractors, CW interfaces, other disciplines) to clarify issues.

·       Performing mechanical stress analyses: piping flexibility calculations, piping supports calculations, or any analysis required to resolve encountered issues.

·       Proposing appropriate and proportionate modifications if sizing criteria are not met.

·       Closing open points and comments.

·       Assessing and integrating modification coming from the stakeholders after packages handed over to JDO.

·       Doing hand calculations and running anchorages macros to assess the feasibility of modification.

·       Checking calculation notes and guide drawings subcontracted to external companies.

·       Maintaining Edvance’s QA procedures in delivering the design.

·       Working with CAD designers/detailers in the preparation of the design drawings.

·       Being the Piping Design technical referent within the Piping discipline and within the JDO-DT.

·       Supporting each collaborator regarding piping design technical topics.

·       Supporting the piping discipline lead regarding specific and transverse technical issues. Looking for best Project decision, including when multiple technical solutions are identified.

·       Reviewing and approving site queries on behalf of the discipline lead.

·       Escalating risk and need for prioritisation when needed.
