Workface Planner; Piping​/Mechanical

Requisition

• Relocation Authorized: National - Family
• Telework Type: Full-Time Office/Project
• Work Location: Lake Charles, LA

Louisiana LNG is located approximately 11 miles southwest of Lake Charles, Louisiana. The project includes a mid-scale, mixed-refrigerant liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and export facility on the west side of the Calcasieu River. There are five identical process plants. Each process plant consists of one gas pre-treatment unit, one condensate stabilization unit, and four Chart heavy hydrocarbon (HHC) removal and liquefaction groups.

The facility will include associated utilities, refrigerant storage, three 235,000 m3 full-containment LNG storage tanks, and three marine berths.

The Workface Planner Piping/Mechanical will be responsible for preparing installation work packages (IWPs) and material take-offs (MTO) for specific disciplines, and for supporting office construction activities such as constructability reviews. They will ensure safety in design, provide construction input to engineering and procurement teams, and help improve total installed cost (TIC) on the projects.

• Develop installation work packages (IWPs) for Piping/Mechanical installations and create the detailed IWP release plan (90‑day schedule) with the responsible superintendent and field engineer.
• Review general installation priorities and ensure the work meets project requirements.
• Review work scope, sequencing, access, resources, equipment needs, pre-work, materials, and support services.
• Prepare the IWP scope in coordination with the field engineer and obtain approval.
• Perform random checks of IWPs assembled by other workface planners.
• Understand work packaging philosophy, scope of installation, work breakdown structure, and scoping of installation work packages.
• Monitor the project schedule and ensure timely delivery of IWPs; coordinate with project controls, planners and other stakeholders to issue IWPs per project priorities.
• Ensure quality of IWPs, verifying that scope and preparation are correct the first time.
• Attend progress meetings and maintain effective interface with site management and the client organization to deliver IWPs and advance work‑packaging efforts.
• Create detailed IWPs per guidelines, compiling PIDs, piping/Mechanical installation drawings, installation details, model snapshots, vendor drawings, inspection test records and other engineering deliverables.
• Support development of material take‑offs for bulk material and vendor-supplied components and upload quantities and attributes to the TEAMWorks or project database.
• Prepare IWP constraints lists and assist in resolving and closing constraints or engineering issues.
• Work with superintendents and field engineers to facilitate planning discussions for each area across all disciplines.
• Support readiness review program for the craft discipline, defining content and readiness checklists.
• Oversee readiness review and creation of readiness packages for IWP's in accordance with the project review program.
• Develop and maintain workface planning storyboards for key scopes.
• Validate that IWP sequencing aligns with construction execution, testing and startup priorities, and project earnings curves.

• Bachelor’s degree (or international equivalent) and 5‑8 years of relevant experience, or 9‑12 years of relevant work experience.

• Experience with piping installation on large oil & gas or process industry projects.
• Experience preparing piping installation and test work packages.
• Proficient in reading drawings, interpreting design, specifications and industry standards and codes.
• Knowledge of ASME B31.3 and/or B31.1.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications.
• Experience in piping and equipment installation.

Work requires the physical ability to conduct field inspections, including extensive walking on and around a construction site in high heat and humidity, climbing ladders and scaffolding, working on elevated platforms or uneven surfaces, and working in small or confined spaces. Some lifting may…
