  • In 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
  • 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
  • Lead 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. Generate MTOs for bulk piping, valves, and specialty items, coordinating closely with piping design, stress, and mechanical disciplines to ensure aligned deliverables
  • Lead cross-functional coordination with project engineering, process, piping design, procurement, and construction to resolve materials issues and protect design intent, cost, and schedule
  • You also will evaluate emerging materials/technologies and sustainable options; recommend updates to discipline standards and project specifications to improve safety, reliability, and environmental performance
  • 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 provide cross-business-unit senior technical authority for Linde Gas operations, Small-On-Site, PlantServ, and Customer Service organizations including review of manual valves and legacy systems, support for small capital projects and field troubleshooting, and Management of Change (MoC) approvals to ensure safety, compliance, and engineering integrity
  • Further, you will estimate discipline hours and coordinate workshare execution; develop/maintain discipline procedures and templates aligned with applicable codes and standards
