Associate Piping Engineer
GEA
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.
