The opportunity

Worley is seeking a Senior Onshore Pipeline Engineer to undertake and coordinate pipeline engineering activities across feasibility, concept, Pre-FEED, FEED, detailed design, procurement, construction and pre-commissioning. You will support the development of safe, technically robust and constructible pipeline systems for natural gas, hydrogen, CO2, oil, water and associated energy infrastructure.

Working with limited supervision, you will own defined work scopes, coordinate technical interfaces and deliver high-quality outputs in accordance with project requirements, applicable legislation, recognised codes and standards, Worley procedures, agreed schedules and budgets.

What you will do

- Produce, check and coordinate pipeline design bases, philosophies, reports, calculations, specifications, datasheets, requisitions, material take-offs, alignment sheets, crossing schedules and pipeline typical drawings.
- Develop and optimise pipeline routes using survey, GIS, environmental, geotechnical, land, constructability and third-party infrastructure information.
- Assess road, rail, river, utility and other crossings and recommend appropriate open-cut or trenchless installation methods, including HDD, auger bore and microtunnelling where applicable.
- Perform or coordinate assessments covering wall thickness, location classification, materials, crossings, pipeline protection, piggability, hydrotesting and above-ground installation interfaces.
- Apply relevant UK and international pipeline requirements, including applicable IGEM, ASME, API, ISO, DNV and customer-specific standards.
- Provide procurement support through requisitions, technical bid evaluations, vendor clarifications and supplier-document review.
- Coordinate with process, piping, mechanical, civil, structural, geotechnical, materials, corrosion, safety, environmental, GIS, estimating, procurement and construction disciplines.
- Support design reviews, constructability reviews, HAZID and HAZOP activities, interdisciplinary checks and technical assurance processes.
- Monitor assigned scope, hours, deliverables and programme, identifying emerging technical, cost or schedule issues and escalating them appropriately.
- Interface with customers, statutory bodies, third-party asset owners, subcontractors, suppliers and construction teams as required.
- Support surveys, route walkdowns, construction, inspection, testing, hydrotesting, pre-commissioning, punch-list closeout and as-built documentation.
- Check work prepared by engineers, designers and delivery teams, and provide practical guidance to less-experienced colleagues.

What you will bring

Essential

- A degree in Mechanical, Civil, Pipeline or a closely related engineering discipline.
- Substantial relevant experience in onshore pipeline engineering within an engineering consultancy, EPC/EPCM contractor, pipeline operator or construction contractor.
- Demonstrable experience across major project phases, with strong FEED and/or detailed-design capability.
- Working knowledge of pipeline routing, mechanical design, crossings, materials, construction and pre-commissioning.
- Experience preparing and checking engineering calculations, reports, specifications, datasheets and drawings.
- Familiarity with applicable pipeline codes and standards and the ability to interpret project-specific requirements.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to manage interfaces and deliver assigned work to programme.

Desirable

- Chartered Engineer, Incorporated Engineer or active progression toward professional registration.
- A postgraduate qualification in pipeline engineering or a related discipline.
- UK cross-country pipeline experience, including engagement with land, environmental and third-party constraints.
- Experience with hydrogen, CO2 or other energy-transition pipeline systems.
- Site, construction or commissioning experience.
- Experience with GIS-assisted routing, alignment-sheet development, Mathcad, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, QGIS or comparable tools.
- Experience coordinating workshare or Global Integrated Delivery resources.
