We’re looking for a Piping Designer who is ready to take the next step in their career by contributing to complex industrial and commercial facility projects. As a key part of our Client's design team, you’ll help deliver high quality piping layouts and coordinated 3D models that support construction, operations, and long-term facility performance. You’ll independently develop piping designs, potentially lead portions of project scope, and coordinate directly with engineers and other disciplines.

You will provide technical input on constructability, model quality, and design standards while supporting workshare execution and contributing to estimating and change‑management discussions.

• Develop complete piping layouts, routing, and model content in AutoCAD Plant 3D, Revit, or CADWorx with minimal direction
• Apply advanced piping design principles, including pipe sizing, routing optimization, and discipline coordination
• Lead equipment arrangement efforts and incorporate detailed vendor data into models and drawings
• Produce piping plans, sections, isometrics, and details in alignment with Client's standards and project requirements
• Review and resolve multi discipline comments, clashes, and design issues using model‑based coordination
• Identify scope changes, design impacts, and potential constructability concerns and communicate them proactively
• Support development of person‑hour estimates, task planning, and design sequencing for assigned work
• Coordinate with global workshare teams by providing clear task instructions, reviewing deliverables, and ensuring model consistency and quality
• Maintain adherence to Client's design procedures, quality expectations, and established project workflows.

• Associate’s degree in Design Technology or a related field (or equivalent practical experience of +2 years).
• 5 + years of piping design experience in industrial, commercial, or manufacturing environments.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Plant 3D, Revit, or CADWorx for piping design and modeling.
• Understanding of piping specifications, materials, equipment interfaces, and layout fundamentals.
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, vendor drawings, and engineering documentation.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently with general oversight while managing your assigned design tasks.
• Strong communication and coordination skills within a multi discipline team environment.
• Excellent organizational skills with a focus on model and drawing accuracy.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Technology or similar curriculum
• Experience in pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical, semiconductor, or advanced manufacturing facilities
• Working knowledge of pipe stress considerations and how they influence routing and support design
• Experience with QA/QC workflows, model health reviews, and specification‑driven design
• Advanced capability with Revit or CADWorx, such as family/part development, custom specs, or data integration
• Prior leadership in global workshare teams, including oversight of model consistency and deliverable quality.
