Piping Engineer

Position: Piping Engineer

Location: Glasgow (Hybrid Working – Minimum 3 days office-based, 2 days remote)

Employment Type: Permanent

Working Pattern: Monday to Friday

We are seeking an experienced Piping Engineer to join a specialist engineering organisation delivering advanced water treatment and process systems to the offshore energy sector. This is a permanent staff position based in East Kilbride, offering a hybrid working model.

The organisation operates internationally and supports complex offshore projects across multiple global markets. Safety, technical excellence, and collaborative working are central to its success.

The Piping Engineer will be responsible for ensuring piping system designs comply with relevant industry standards and project specifications, while supporting the safe and efficient delivery of engineered systems. The successful candidate will play a key role in piping design, stress analysis, support design, and requisition engineering, ensuring technical integrity and alignment with broader project requirements.

• Ensure piping designs comply with applicable standards (e.g., ASME B31.3 or equivalent).
• Confirm designs account for loading limitations of connected equipment.
• Identify constraints and requirements imposed by piping on third‑party design activities.
• Ensure requisitions for pipework and valves are accurate in both specification and quantity.

• Review and assess client-provided pipe specifications where available.
• Develop supplementary specifications where required.
• Prepare project‑specific pipe specifications when none are provided.
• Ensure specifications align with system service requirements and internal design standards.

• Identify critical lines requiring stress analysis.
• Define load cases, equipment loading limitations, and external load requirements.
• Develop and manage stress analysis models (in‑house or via specialist consultants).
• Review results and modify designs to achieve compliance.
• Coordinate with design teams to ensure final layouts reflect analysed geometry and support requirements.

• Determine position and type of supports for critical and non‑critical lines.
• Define support loads for structural and attachment design.
• Design pipe support attachments to meet loading requirements.
• Liaise with third parties impacted by pipework loading considerations.

• Prepare and manage requisitions and subcontracts for piping materials, services, and specialist items.
• Support procurement activities and vendor engagement as required.
• Supervise internal resources supporting requisition execution where applicable.

• Significant relevant experience in piping engineering within industrial or offshore environments.
• Strong understanding of piping codes and standards (e.g., ASME B31.3).
• Experience in pipe stress analysis and pipe support design.
• Prior involvement in multi-disciplinary engineering projects.
• Experience working with international or overseas clients is advantageous.

• Minimum HND (or equivalent experience) in an Engineering or related technical discipline.
• Proficient in MS Office and general IT systems.

• Strong planning and organisational skills with high attention to detail.
• Effective communicator in both individual and group settings.
• Deadline‑focused with strong time management capability.
• Collaborative team player with a proactive and solution‑driven approach.
• High personal standards and strong drive to achieve results.

We are committed to creating an inclusive working environment and welcome applications from all qualified candidates, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, belief, or race.
