• Lead the preparation and review of piping layouts, General Arrangement (GA) drawings, isometric drawings, and piping support drawings.


• Perform piping routing and layout planning while considering operability, maintainability, safety requirements, and project constraints.


• Develop and review piping specifications, valve schedules, valve datasheets, and related engineering documentation.


• Coordinate with Civil, Mechanical, Process, Electrical, and Instrumentation teams to ensure seamless integration of engineering deliverables.


• Review and validate 3D plant models and piping designs developed by internal design teams or external consultants.


• Ensure compliance with project specifications, engineering standards, statutory requirements, and applicable industry codes.


• Prepare and review Bills of Materials (BOM) for piping systems and support procurement activities when required.


• Provide technical guidance for equipment layout optimization and piping integration within water and wastewater treatment facilities.


• Support project execution teams by resolving design-related issues and providing technical assistance during installation and commissioning stages.


• Conduct site visits, inspections, and technical reviews to ensure design intent is accurately implemented.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 7–8 years of hands-on experience in piping engineering and design within Water & Wastewater Treatment, EPC, or Process Plant projects.


• Strong understanding of piping engineering principles, codes, standards, and best practices.


• Proven experience in piping layout development, equipment integration, and multidisciplinary coordination.


• Ability to interpret and work with P&IDs, process flow diagrams, and engineering specifications.


• Knowledge of piping materials, valves, fittings, and associated components used in process and water treatment facilities.


• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical coordination skills.


• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.

Preferred Technical Skills

• Proficiency in AutoCAD, AutoCAD Plant 3D, CADWorx, Pro-Pipe, or similar piping design software.


• Experience in reviewing and coordinating 3D plant models.


• Working knowledge of engineering documentation, material take-offs, and piping support systems.


• Good command of MS Office applications for reporting and documentation.
