EPC Project Assistant

Weld Map Data Entry | Weld Trace | Test Packages | Quantity Takeoffs | Lakewood, CO

ZAP is a full-service engineering, design, and construction management firm servicing the oil & gas, heavy industrial, mining, and manufacturing sectors. From our Lakewood, Colorado office, we execute projects across North America, spanning from California to Florida and Canada down to Mexico. Our projects range in size from simple engineering studies or maintenance repairs to full-scale design of extensive facilities. ZAP operates at a fast pace while providing a team-centric approach to our work.

We are looking for a detail person who will own our weld maps — every weld annotated, every NDT result and material test report entered, and every diameter inch of progress logged in Weld Trace — and who can build and check a hydro or pneumatic test book that holds up. If you like the kind of work where the numbers either tie out or they don’t, we want to talk.

The EPC Project Assistant’s primary focus is weld map data entry in Weld Trace. You annotate the weld maps as the field completes work, enter welding and NDT (RT, UT, PT, MT) results against each weld, and enter material test report (MTR) and heat number data onto the weld maps so every weld is fully traceable. The weld progress the project team, the client, and our billing run on comes out of the data you enter.

From there the role extends into job preparation and piping test packages — building, editing, and checking the hydrostatic and pneumatic test books the field and the client sign off on — and into quantity takeoffs, where you take off concrete volumes, structural steel tonnage, pipe footage, and weld inch from the drawings and number the flanges that feed the torque log, to support estimates, budgets, and progress reporting.

This is an office-based position in Lakewood, Colorado working Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and a direct path into project controls, estimating, QA/QC role.

Construction Operations

• Annotate the weld maps in Weld Trace as the field completes work — weld numbers, welder IDs, weld procedures, and dates — so the map matches what was actually welded.
• Enter welding and NDT results against each weld: RT, UT, PT, and MT reports, acceptance status, and repair and re-shoot history.
• Enter material test report (MTR) and heat number data onto the weld maps so every joint carries full material traceability.
• Input and annotate weld progress as it is completed, and keep the diameter‑inch complete figures current for project and client reporting.
• Maintain Weld Trace projects and keep the data accurate — drawing and line revisions, weld map updates, and welder and procedure records.
• Verify each weld carries the documentation it requires, and flag missing or conflicting welding, NDT, or material records to the project team early — while it is still a paperwork problem and not a turnover problem.

• Prepare piping test books (test packages) for hydrostatic and pneumatic testing: assemble the isometric and P&, mark the test boundaries and blinds, and state the test pressure, medium, and hold time.
• Edit and check test packages prepared by others — confirm the boundaries close, the test pressure and medium match the line list and spec, and every weld inside the boundary is documented and accepted before the package is issued.
• Compile the weld, material, and NDT records that…
