Associate Piping Engineer

Job description

Responsibilities / Tasks Develop piping layouts for sanitary and hygienic applications, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries, ensuring compliance with relevant standards (e.g., ASME BPE). Ensure designs minimize dead legs and promote cleanability and sterilizability, supporting CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) operations. Incorporate industry-specific standards, such as ASME-BPE, into piping designs to ensure the system meets sanitary and hygienic regulations. Ensure all fittings, valves, and components adhere to hygienic standards to maintain product integrity. Design skids and valve manifolds for hygienic systems, ensuring compact layouts that meet operational, cleaning, and maintenance requirements. Work with process engineers to integrate piping systems into hygienic equipment such as tanks, pumps, and heat exchangers. Ensure seamless integration of hygienic piping with instruments like flowmeters, pressure sensors, and temperature transmitters. Develop piping designs that promote laminar flow, reduce turbulence, and prevent product stagnation, ensuring optimal process efficiency and hygiene. Analyze and address potential areas of contamination in the system design. Create and review 3D models tailored to hygienic piping systems using tools like Autodesk Plant 3D, ensuring precision in complex assemblies. Use clash detection software Navisworks to ensure clean and efficient piping layouts. Collaborate with process, mechanical, and instrumentation teams to align piping designs with broader system requirements.
