Piping Designer

• Produce complex piping layouts, plans, sections, and elevations for engineering projects in heavy industrial settings such as oil and gas, mining, and water/wastewater.
• Develop and manage detailed 3D piping models using CADWorx Plant or AutoCAD Plant 3D, ensuring accuracy, constructability, and alignment with project requirements.
• Interpret and work from P&IDs, design specifications, and engineering inputs to create complete piping design packages.
• Prepare and update drawings and models in AutoCAD, applying drafting best practices, standards, and company procedures.
• Use Navisworks tools (Freedom, Manage, and Simulate) to review models, perform clash checks, and support internal design presentations.
• Coordinate with engineers and designers to clarify design intent, resolve technical issues, and incorporate feedback into drawings and models.
• Apply strong mechanical aptitude and CAD skills to solve design problems and optimize piping layouts for safety, maintenance, and operations.
• Support small projects independently with general to minimal supervision, managing personal workload and meeting project deadlines.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of group design standards, templates, and workflows.
• Assist in mentoring and supporting junior designers by sharing best practices and providing guidance on tools and processes.
• Maintain a high level of detail, organization, and accuracy in all technical drawings and documentation.
• Prioritize and multitask across multiple assignments while maintaining quality and meeting schedule commitments.
• Participate in internal design reviews and model walkthroughs, using Navisworks and other tools to communicate design concepts.
• Collaborate with project teams to ensure alignment between 3D models, P&IDs, and other project deliverables.

• 2+ years of piping design experience in heavy industrial environments such as oil and gas, mining, or water/wastewater.
• Proficiency with CADWorx Plant or AutoCAD Plant 3D at an equivalent level, including the ability to build and manage 3D piping models.
• Experience with piping design, P&IDs, 3D modeling, and 3D design workflows.
• Strong knowledge of Navisworks tools, including the ability to operate Freedom, Manage, and Simulate and perform internal presentations.
• Proficient AutoCAD skills, including use of LISP routines, tools, plotting settings, and CUI, as well as understanding of AutoCAD setup and layer properties.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and demonstrated CAD proficiency.
• Ability to receive general to minimal supervision and still deliver high-quality work on schedule.
• Effective communication skills to work closely with engineers and other designers.
• High attention to detail, with consistent precision and organization in producing and handling technical drawings.
• Ability to prioritize tasks and multitask as an individual contributor in a project-driven environment.
• Strong computer literacy, including proficiency with Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, CADWorx P&, CADWorx Plant, and Bluebeam Revu.

• Experience with heavy industrial projects in oil and gas, mining, or water/wastewater facilities.
• Experience using CADWorx or Plant 3D, with openness to other 3D design software for candidates with strong 3D skills.
• A Mechanical Engineer who is interested in design and 3D CAD work is welcome.
• Completion of community college coursework or drafting/CAD classes is a plus.
• Interest in contributing to team standards and supporting the development of junior designers.
• Comfort working in a flexible, trust-based environment with autonomy and accountability.

The role typically follows a 40-hour work week, with occasional additional effort during major project deadlines. The position is primarily office-based, with flexibility available once trust is established and performance is demonstrated. The workplace emphasizes a strong work-life balance, focusing on getting work done, supporting projects, and providing autonomy to employees. The culture is highly social and team-oriented, with activities such as golf leagues, ski days, happy hours, holiday events, office competitions, and team outings.

The organization maintains a stable, long-term focus, emphasizing employee retention, financial conservatism, and planning through market cycles. Employees experience a "work hard, have fun, take care of people" philosophy, and leadership invest in making the workplace enjoyable, collaborative, and engaging.
