Morson Edge are working on behalf of a major player in the Energy Sector who have a contract requirement for an Engineering Completion Lead (Piping) to join their established site based team. All work is associated with the Nuclear New Build Project in North Somerset and presents the successful candidate with an opportunity to gain unique experience contributing to one of Europe’s largest infrastructure Projects.

Purpose

• To deliver the engineering required for the completion of the MEH piping scope on site through leadership of a team of engineers.
• Completion activities cover the on-site piping pressure tests and subsequent activities such as flushing, drying and preservation, up to the hand over to Commissioning.

Typical Accountabilities

• Overseeing/management of Installation Contractors and the preparation of documentation related to pressure test and subsequent activities (flushing, drying, preservation) up to hand over to Commissioning
• Put in place the strategy for the preparation and the execution of the on-site pressure test activities of Project pipework: Circa 1500 pressure test loops per unit
• Manage the interfaces between:

o Installation Contractors pressure test team
o Installation Contractors construction team

• Lead the development of a digital tool which will support the pressure test loop definition.
• Defining the strategies for completion (Life Time Quality Records…) and hand over to Commissioning (Open Point management…)
• Ensure integration of the needs for activities post-construction into the construction sequence (for instance: Hydro pressure test loop definition, Commissioning Test Pack review and acceptance…).
• Coordination of engineering activities to support construction sequencing, including the identification and implementation of improvements to processes and ways of working (e.g., redlining process on site).
