Mechanical Piping Designer

The Mechanical & Piping Drafter/Designer will be part of the design of fueling facilities, including hydrogen, compressed natural gas (CNG) and gasoline/diesel petroleum fueling systems. Also, work on gas-detection systems and occasional electrical vehicle DC-charging designs. Develop and produce design drawings primarily in Revit, with occasional work in AutoCAD.

• Set up and produce plans, design details, piping diagrams and control-wiring diagrams under the director of the Engineer or Project Manager.
• Model fueling equipment and piping for fueling facilities.
• Work within a site and architectural drawing environment.

Drafting and modeling tasks and work include:

• Maintain drawing and model accuracy throughout project life cycles, incorporating redlines and design changes promptly.
• Participate in design-review meetings, providing visualizations and occasionally developing 3D-model exhibits for community outreach.
• Import component or equipment models (stp, rfa, etc.) provided by vendors and manufacturers.
• Develop and update model families of fuel-system components that are not available from a manufacturer; may include tanks, pump skids, panels, typically at LOD 200 to 350 but possibly to LOD 500 in some instances.
• Incorporate and reference Arch/MEPS Revit models, survey drawings, border title block files, details, and other reference drawings in PDF or CAD formats from various project teams member/firms.
• Coordinate BIM design work with other design disciplines within Stantec or outside firms working on the project team.
• Creation and/or modification of drafting views, plan views, view templates, view filters, annotations including keynotes and equipment tags, project phasing, integrated equipment schedules and sheet composition.
• Review and comment on design drawings prepared by other design disciplines
• Project collaboration with multiple disciplines requiring knowledge of Revit Work sets, Work sharing, Cloud Models, management of ACC/B360, and development of cover sheets.
• Review and comment on design drawings prepared by other design teams, subconsultants or by design build contractors.

• Ability to route piping to minimize pressure drop and according to industry best practices.
• Understanding of various pipe fittings and valve types, as well as SS tubing, fittings and appurtenances.
• Working knowledge of piping materials and respective applications.
• Fundamental understanding of gas detection components and /or willingness to learn and understanding of classified areas.
• Possess a valid driver’s license with a good driving record.

• Minimum 3 years’ experience using Revit to prepare process-type plans and drawings; certifications are a plus.
• Minimum 3 years’ experience in the design of fueling or process-piping systems
• Bachelor’s degree or a combination of education and related experience.
• Ability to commute to our downtown Los Angeles office.
