Piping engineers are responsible for piping design and the installation of piping systems that transport materials such as oil, gas, water, and waste. The piping setup and layout are critical to the luxuries we may take for granted, such as having running water in the house, receiving gas to warm our homes, or flushing a toilet that connects through pipes to the sewage, and later to a waste treatment plant. In short, smart piping systems are fundamental to living a comfortable life, and expert piping engineers are behind it all.
Piping engineers must make forecasts and analyses, decide on piping layout and placement, choose piping materials, and design piping supports or tresses, while using computer-aided design (CAD) or 3D modeling to create the blueprint and specifications. They also need to ensure that piping systems are adequately reinforced to reduce vibrations, regularly check nozzle loads in compliance with codes, draft technical reports and provide trainings to junior or fellow engineers and technicians as needed. Given the need for making many detailed calculations and high accuracy in planning, piping engineers are highly skilled in math, physics, and chemistry, among others.
Piping engineers and piping design engineers are needed in industries where pipes are used to transport liquid materials from one location to another. Common sectors with promising career opportunities include waste and water management, power generation, marine dredging, and the oil and gas industry.

Je zorgt ervoor dat R&D bij Nederlandse ondernemingen wordt gesteund. Dit doe je door te adviseren over de honorering van projectvoorstellen van ondernemers in de (innovatieve) sectoren maakindustrie, automotive, maritiem en bouw. Daarvoor heb je regelmatig contact met ondernemers, intermediairs en adviseurs. Voortgang en knelpunten in de advisering en verbetering van de processen bespreek je in teamverband d.m.v. de ‘scrum’-werkwijze.De Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO.nl) is een grote uitvoeringsorganisatie van het Ministerie van Economische Zaken. De dienst ondersteunt ondernemers met subsidies, kennis, vinden van zakenpartners en voldoen aan wet- en regelgeving. De ambitie van de dienst is om de toonaangevende overheidsdienstverlener van Nederland te worden. Daartoe wordt - veelal projectmatig - hard gewerkt aan optimale geautomatiseerde ondersteuning van de dienstverlening.
Scrum master

Experience: 3 years
Als Scrum Master ben jij er echt voor je team! Jij zorgt ervoor dat alle teamleden zich kunnen focussen op datgene waar ze goed in zijn: hun vak. In principe hoef je zelf geen IT’er van origine te zijn, zolang je maar snapt waar het voor het Ontwikkelteam om draait: ontwerpen, bouwen, testen, beheren en automatiseren. En verbeteren, continu verbeteren.Een succesvolle Agile-methode begint met duidelijke, beknopte en effectieve backlogs en het managen daarvan. Hiervoor is het belangrijk dat je als Scrum Master inzicht hebt in de product-planning in een empirische omgeving; bijpraten met de Product Owner staat dan ook regelmatig op de agenda.Als facilitator voor het team elimineer je belemmeringen, coach je de teamleden zowel individueel als ook als team, en zorg je ervoor dat de stand-ups, sprintsessies en andere meetings staan als een huis. Last but not least zorg je ervoor dat het Agile gedachtegoed verspreid wordt in de organisatie en coach je het Ontwikkelteam in organisatorische omgevingen waarbinnen Scrum nog niet volledig is opgenomen.
