  • Completion of Work: approx. 28 February 2027
  • Duration: Until approx. 28 February 2027, with the possibility of extension
  • Workload: 56 hours per week

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • You review approved pressure test procedures, Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), project specifications and other relevant quality documentation prior to testing activities.
  • You prepare, compile and verify Pressure Test Packages (PTC/PTP), including test limits, test boundaries and all required supporting documentation.
  • You verify that line walks have been completed, relevant punch points have been cleared and piping systems are ready for pressure testing.
  • You witness and monitor hydrostatic, pneumatic, leak and strength testing activities in accordance with approved procedures and project requirements.
  • You verify the specified test pressure, holding time and acceptance criteria and ensure that all testing parameters are correctly implemented.
  • You monitor pressurization and depressurization activities and ensure that pressure testing operations are performed safely and in accordance with the applicable procedures.
  • You inspect piping systems during testing and verify that no leakage, pressure loss, deformation or other abnormal conditions occur.
  • You coordinate pressure testing activities with Construction, QA/QC, Commissioning, contractors, subcontractors and client representatives.
  • You witness pressure release, draining, drying and reinstatement activities following completion of the respective pressure test.
  • You verify the removal of temporary test equipment and ensure that tested systems are correctly reinstated.
  • You review calibration certificates for pressure gauges and other testing instruments and verify their validity prior to use.
  • You ensure that all pressure test records, inspection reports, test certificates and associated quality documentation are completed correctly and maintained in accordance with project requirements.
  • You monitor the closure of test-related punch points and non-conformities and coordinate the required corrective measures with the responsible parties.
  • You raise Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) where required and monitor the implementation and closure of corrective actions.
  • You compile completed Pressure Test Packages, turnover dossiers and supporting documentation for system handover and client approval.
  • You support the proper turnover of tested systems to the subsequent construction, pre-commissioning or commissioning phase.

REQUIREMENTS

  • You have a diploma or degree in Mechanical Engineering or a comparable technical discipline.
  • You have at least five years of professional experience in pressure testing, piping inspection or mechanical QA/QC activities within industrial construction projects.
  • You have proven experience in the preparation and compilation of Pressure Test Packages (PTC/PTP).
  • You are familiar with piping inspection activities, quality documentation and the documentation requirements associated with pressure testing.
  • You have sound knowledge of piping materials, welding documentation, inspection records and quality verification processes.
  • You have experience with hydrostatic, pneumatic, leak and strength testing of piping systems and associated equipment.
  • You are familiar with system completion, punch-point management, system turnover and the handover of completed test documentation.
  • You have experience working on EPC projects within the Oil & Gas, Refinery, Petrochemical, LNG, Power Plant or Pipeline industries.
  • You have working knowledge of ASME B31.3 Process Piping as well as applicable project specifications and pressure testing procedures.
  • You are confident in reading and interpreting P&IDs, piping isometric drawings, test limits and Pressure Test Packages.
  • You are able to work effectively with Construction, QA/QC, Commissioning, contractors, clients and other technical disciplines.
  • You have a structured, independent, quality-conscious and safety-oriented working approach.
