• Collaborate in the development of piping build strategy fornew‑buildand modification projects.

• Follow up on piping installation progress andidentifyopportunities to improve construction sequencing and schedule performance.

• Provide production guidance andpiping‑specificproblem solvingduring construction.

• Update piping drawings to reflect field changes and ensure compliance with design standards.

• Create andmaintainaccuratepipingas‑builtdrawings and redlines.

• Collaborate with engineering teams to interpret pipingdesignintent and resolve technical piping issues.

• Work closely with production supervisors,foremen, and piping craft leads to ensure proper routing, installation, and fit‑up of piping systems.

• Support construction and installation of marine piping systems including fuel, ballast, hydraulic, cooling, bilge, and auxiliary systems.

• Ensure piping work complies withABS and USCG requirements.

• Provide input related to piping materialselection, take‑offs, sourcing, and purchasing support.

System Routing & Construction Support

• Plan and verify routing for piping systems, accounting for structure, access, clearances, and coordination with other trades.

• Provide on‑site technical support during piping installation, testing, flushing, and commissioning phases.

Quality & Compliance

• Ensure all piping work meets ABS, USCG, andSenesco
  
  Marine standards.

• Review and revise piping drawings for accuracy, constructability, and compliance with specifications.

• Support inspections, pressure testing, system turnover, and quality documentation.

Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement

• Address discrepancies between piping design and field conditions promptly to minimize rework and schedule impacts.

• Suggest improvements to piping layouts, drawings, sequencing, or work practices to improve efficiency and reduce rework.

• Support safe and efficient shipyard piping installation practices.

• Bachelor’s degree in marine or mechanical engineering (or equivalent high‑level shipyard piping experience).

• A minimum of 7 years of experience in shipyard new‑build or major vessel modification projects, with a strong emphasis on piping systems.

• A minimum of 5 years supporting piping construction, fabrication, or craft management (including subcontractor oversight).

• Proven record of supporting projects executed on time and on budget.

• Proficiency in AutoCAD; familiarity with
  
  ShipConstructoror similar marine design software preferred.

• Strong understanding of marine piping systems, materials, fabrication methods, testing, and installation practices.

• Ability to interpret and apply ABS and U.S. Coast Guard rules and regulations related to piping systems.

• Excellent communication and problem‑solving skills with the ability to work independently in an active shipyard environment.

• The employee must havecorrectablevision to
