In a live industrial plant, every pipe tells a story. The materials that flow through them, the pressure they withstand, the tie-ins that connect new infrastructure to existing operations. UniMarine Steel Frames Industry LLC, a steel fabrication and industrial services company based in Abu Dhabi, is looking for a Piping Engineer to join its project execution team. This is a role for an engineer who understands that brownfield work is not just about installation. It is about precision, planning, and the ability to work safely in an environment where operations never stop.

This is a role for someone with at least six years of industrial piping experience, including four or more years in the UAE or GCC working on brownfield projects and live plant environments. You will review P&IDs, piping isometrics, line lists, and material specifications, managing piping fabrication, spool production, and site erection activities. You will coordinate tie-ins with existing operating plants, including shutdown planning and permits, and monitor welding activities to ensure compliance with WPS/PQR and welder qualifications. You will coordinate NDT activities, weld mapping, inspection, and quality documentation, prepare method statements, ITPs, test packs, and material approval submissions, and supervise hydrostatic and pneumatic testing, flushing, cleaning, and drying. If you have hands-on experience with natural gas, hydrogen, or other hazardous gas piping systems, this role will suit you.

The ideal candidate holds a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent, with strong knowledge of ASME B31.3, ASME B16, ASME IX, API 1104, and ASME B31.8. You have experience in live plant tie-ins, pressure testing, NDT coordination, and weld tracking. You are proficient in AutoCAD and MS Office, and a valid UAE driving licence is an advantage. Experience with orbital welding, CSWIP or AWS CWI certification, or work in petrochemical, chemical, or power plant projects will set you apart.

This is a full-time, project-based position based in Abu Dhabi. The salary range is AED 10,000 to AED 12,000 per month, negotiable based on experience. The expected joining date is November to December 2026.

Salary:
AED 10,000 – 12,000 per month

To apply:
Send your CV to jobs@utsgcc.com or hr@utsgcc.com with the subject line: "Application – Piping Engineer (Project Execution)." Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
When you apply, take a moment to make your application stand out. Highlight your experience in brownfield projects and live plant tie-ins specifically, including the types of facilities you have worked in and the complexity of the shutdown planning you have managed, because this is the core requirement for the role and the hiring team will look for evidence that you can work safely in an operating environment. In your cover letter, describe a challenging tie-in or commissioning project you delivered, explaining the technical challenges and how you ensured safety and quality. If you have experience with natural gas, hydrogen, or hazardous gas piping systems, mention that clearly. If you hold CSWIP, AWS CWI, or orbital welding experience, state that explicitly. Finally, confirm your UAE or GCC experience and your availability to join in late 2026, as these are key requirements for the position. If you are currently based in Abu Dhabi and available for an interview, say so, because that will help move your application forward more quickly
