The successful candidate will work closely with internal teams and vendors to maintain high-quality outputs and support timely project delivery.

Key responsibilities

• Analyse visual and engineering data from onshore and offshore infrastructure to identify defects, asset features, and relevant engineering information.
• Perform QC reviews of piping isometric drawings prepared by external vendors, ensuring accuracy, completeness, consistency, and compliance with project requirements and SOPs.
• Identify and document errors, discrepancies, and missing information, including issues related to piping components, connections, dimensions, elevations, flow directions, and line details.
• Provide clear feedback to drafting vendors, track revisions and rework, and ensure all identified issues are resolved before final acceptance.
• Apply relevant client and industry standards during engineering reviews, inspections, and condition assessments.
• Undertake QA checks and peer reviews, where required, to maintain high-quality deliverables.
• Prepare engineering, inspection, and condition assessment reports.
• Coordinate with vendors and internal teams to resolve technical queries and support timely project delivery.
• Support the continuous improvement of SOPs, QC checklists, and quality processes.

Person specification

• Experience interpreting engineering drawings, particularly Oil & Gas piping isometrics, P&IDs, process diagrams, and technical schematics.
• Experience in piping design, isometric drafting or QC, piping inspection, construction, maintenance, or other relevant Oil & Gas activities.
• Strong understanding of piping systems, including components, valves, fittings, flanges, connections, and line information.
• Experience in quality checking, vendor deliverable reviews, and rework management.
• Familiarity with relevant engineering and Oil & Gas standards, such as API, ASME, and NACE, is desirable.
