Piping Material Engineer 18F26

Piping Material Engineers play a crucial role in ensuring that piping systems are designed and constructed according to project specifications and standard codes. These professionals are responsible for evaluating and selecting the appropriate materials that will withstand various environmental and operational conditions. They work collaboratively with design engineers, project managers, and construction teams to ensure that materials meet both safety standards and budget constraints. The role involves substantial technical expertise, knowledge of materials science, and the ability to analyze various factors such as media flow, pressure, temperature, and corrosion rates. Piping Material Engineers must be adept at problem-solving and able to foresee potential issues that could arise from material failures, advising on alternative solutions when needed.

Responsibilities

• Analyze piping project specifications to determine suitable material requirements and selections.
• Consult with design teams to ensure selected materials meet engineering standards and constraints.
• Evaluate the mechanical properties of materials for compatibility with operational conditions.
• Conduct failure analyses to identify root causes and recommend corrective actions.
• Collaborate with procurement teams to source materials that meet quality and budgetary constraints.
• Prepare detailed material selection reports and documentation for engineering approval processes.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, codes, and regulations for piping materials.
• Coordinate with vendors to assess material quality and resolve supply chain issues.
• Review project design changes to assess potential impacts on material requirements.
• Advise construction teams on installation techniques for optimal material performance.
• Develop and implement maintenance strategies to extend the lifecycle of piping systems.
• Stay updated on new materials technology and trends in piping system engineering.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum of five years of experience in piping materials engineering or a similar role.
• Comprehensive knowledge of industry codes and standards such as ASME, ASTM, and API.
• Proven ability to evaluate material performance under various environmental conditions.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to conduct root cause analysis effectively.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with a focus on cross-department collaboration.
• Proficiency in engineering software and tools for design and material selection processes.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex engineering projects within set deadlines.
• Knowledge of corrosion principles and mitigation strategies in piping systems.
• Ability to manage time effectively and work under pressure to meet deadlines.
