Senior Piping Materials Engineer

Senior Piping Materials EngineerLinde Engineering North America LLCTonawanda, NY, United States | req28346In this role, you will lead piping materials engineering for small to mid-sized industrial gas projects from early design through construction support, coordinating internal and outsourced resources to deliver specifications/pipe classes, material selection, and procurement support. You will lead material selection based on process conditions and corrosion environment; ensure code compliance (ASME/ASTM/API/DIN/ISO/NACE) and verify compatibility, including oxygen service suitability. Additionally, you will develop and maintain detailed piping component and procurement specifications, including piping material specifications and data sheets for pipe, fittings, flanges, valves, gaskets, bolting, and specialty items, ensuring full component/material compatibility with project design requirements including evaluating emerging materials/technologies. Generating MTOs for bulk piping, valves, and specialty items, coordinating closely with piping design, stress, and mechanical disciplines is part of your role. Ensuring compliance with applicable codes/standards and local regulations (e.g., ASME B31.3, ASME B16.5, API 610/650, NACE), including verification of material grades, classifications, and supplier certifications is part of your role. You will evaluate corrosion risks based on process fluids and environmental conditions; specify appropriate corrosion allowances and recommend coatings, linings, or alloy upgrades, and ensure required material testing/verification completed. In addition, you will assess material suitability for thermal and mechanical loading in high-temperature, cryogenic, and high-pressure service, specifying materials that will withstand expected stresses without deformation, cracking, or fatigue. Leading procurement and vendor technical support: develop requisitions/bid packages, perform technical bid evaluations, review/approve vendor drawings and submittals, manage deviations, and support inspection/expediting as needed. Supporting reliability and mechanical integrity programs by providing materials engineering input (damage mechanisms, corrosion/material upgrades, QA/QC requirements) and by supporting construction/commissioning activities (field queries, punch list resolution, turnover documentation) will be part of your role. You will prepare and maintain piping material class (PMC) documents, piping specifications, catalogs, supplier documentation, and procurement data on readiness for shipment. and more to ensure aligned deliverables. You will be responsible for the review of oxygen system design (flow/pressure, velocity limits, ignition risks), approval of oxygen-compatible materials and components, enforcement of oxygen cleanliness and contamination control, and safeguarding/transferring critical oxygen safety knowledge and design assumptions. Further, you will estimate discipline hours and coordinate workshare execution; develop/maintain discipline procedures and templates aligned with applicable codes and standards.You have a bachelor's degree in engineering and breadth and depth knowledge in piping materials engineering and working knowledge of other fields. 10+ years of experience in modular piping materials for industrial gas, ASU, HyCO, LNG, natural gas, refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, or similar industries, including understanding of applicable codes and regulations for facility design and engineering. Experience leading the piping materials scope for small to mid-sized projects or project packages (e.g., managing deliverables, supporting reviews and construction). Professional Engineer (PE) license in Mechanical Engineering preferred; Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification or demonstrated path toward PE licensure in the near term. Strong working knowledge of applicable industry codes and standards, including ASME B31.3, API, ANSI, NFPA, PIP, Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices (RAGAGEP), Process Safety Management (PSM), and other relevant regulations and standards. Positive attitude with the ability to adapt work schedule to accommodate project specific needs. Recognized subject matter expert in plant design engineering with broad knowledge across multiple engineering disciplines. Advanced computer skills with Microsoft Office software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), Outlook, and Adobe Acrobat. Familiarity with piping material specification databases and engineering design software such as SmartPlant Materials, AutoPIPE, Caesar II, SAP, or similar tools.
