• Role of a piping engineer.
• Piping engineering is a branch of civil
  engineering that deals with constructing robust
  and fully-operational piping systems.
• The branch is the cornerstone of various
  industries that involve transportation of fluids
  including construction, oil and gas industries,
  chemical plants and many more.
• It is the task of the pipeline engineer to
  design piping systems. Thus, piping engineers
  play a vital role in such industries.
• They create blueprints of the entire piping
  system, assist in selecting the best materials
  and supervise the whole pipeline construction
  process. They actively participate in all the
  phases of pipeline design and development.

There are various duties that a piping engineer
is expected to perform. These include 1. 
Survey of the site It is the task of the
pipeline engineers to visit the pipeline
installation site and survey the land for any
sort of irregularities. All the observations are
then studied and the pipeline system blueprint is
designed by keeping these observations into
consideration. 2.  Draw blueprints of piping
systems The imperative role of the piping
engineer is to create a blueprint of the piping
system. The designing is done using CAD (Computer
Aided Design) software. Therefore, the engineers
must have extensive knowledge of piping systems
and CAD software. A piping engineering course
entails the candidates with all the requisite
skills and know-how.

• 3.  Analyze the scope of the project
• It is the responsibility of piping engineers to
  develop the scope of the project while
  considering factors like the budget, resources
  and the deadline of the project.
• 4.  Cost management
• Every project has an intended budget and the
  pipeline engineers should ensure that their
  pipeline designs align with the intended budget.
  They should focus on optimization of resources
  and cost.
•  
• 5.  Procuring materials
• A pipeline engineer has knowledge about the kind
  of material that should be used for designing the
  piping system.  They help the procurement
  managers in procuring top-notch quality and most
  relevant pipes for the project.
• The carry out market surveys, identify
  suppliers and find the best price for each
  material. In this way, they help in procuring
  high-quality and highly-durable products at the
  best cost.

6.  Scheduling Deadlines are important for every
project and piping engineers ensure that the
construction of the piping systems is done on
time. For this, they liaise with project managers
and construction managers and device a schedule
for each event. They then allocate the task to
different staff members and make it done within
the timelines. 7.  Monitoring Pipeline
engineers supervise the pipeline installation
phase and make sure that the piping systems are
made according to the designed blueprints. They
inspect the on-site work, ensure safe
installation and identify as well as mitigate
risks. They also make sure that the project is
compliant with the guidelines laid down by the
Occupational and Safety Health Administration.   I
n order to fulfill all these responsibilities,
the candidates must have deep knowledge of piping
engineering and they should also possess
requisite skills. MIT Skills offers Post Graduate
Program in Piping Engineering that entails the
candidates with industry-specific skills. The
course is designed by industry experts and will
surely give you a competitive edge. Interested
candidates can choose between a regular or
weekend mode to take up this job-oriented course.
