Senior Piping Engineer (Power Generation / Gas-to-Power)

The role

You will perform hands-on piping engineering for FEL-2 and early-phase delivery work. You will act as a quality gate for automated piping outputs and help define product requirements for power and gas-to-power projects.

What you will do

• Do real piping engineering on FEL-2 and early-phase delivery work
• Be the quality gate on automated piping outputs
• Define how piping information is developed and validated through FEED and early detailed design
• Review and validate piping content across P&IDs, line lists, piping specs, and tie-in lists
• Build repeatable checks for tagging, completeness, and consistency issues
• Map where piping rework happens and what inputs drive it
• Clarify interface points with Process, Mechanical, I&C, Electrical, and Civil/Structural
• Separate repetitive steps from those needing real engineering judgment

Required qualifications

• 7+ years at a large scale EPC, PMC, or owner-operator, with most of it on power generation or gas-to-power
• Direct experience on combined cycle, simple cycle, gas-to-power, LNG, or cogeneration projects
• Personally owned line list and piping spec development through FEED
• Strong on power plant piping: high-energy steam cycle, fuel gas, condensate, cooling water, and balance of plant piping
• Hands-on with ASME B31.1 (power piping) and B31.3 (process piping)
• Familiarity with pipe stress analysis and stress-critical line identification (CAESAR II or similar)
• Experience with plot plan and 3D model driven layout (AVEVA E3D / PDMS, SmartPlant 3D, or similar)
• Spot inconsistencies across P&IDs, line lists, and vendor packages fast
• Clear understanding of cross-discipline dependencies
• Comfortable with ambiguity and wearing multiple hats

Nice to have

• Discipline lead or technical authority experience
• Work on data center or behind-the-meter power campuses
• High-energy piping materials and metallurgy (P91, P22 chrome-moly), or pipe support and spring hanger design
• Brownfield tie-ins and constructability constraints
• Real interest in AI and automation

Benefits

• Meaningful base + equity
• Unlimited PTO
• Health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision
• Up to $150/mo health and wellness reimbursement
