Responsibilities

+ Prepare detailed piping design and layout drawings using advanced piping design techniques and 3D CAD tools.

+ Develop and check design deliverables, including layouts, drawings, and supporting documentation, in accordance with written procedures and guidelines.

+ Provide technical guidance for the piping portions of assigned projects and support the broader project team as needed.

+ Interpret and apply applicable codes, standards, procedures, guidelines, and specifications to ensure compliant designs.

+ Efficiently utilize CAD systems, including 3D design tools such as Revit, to produce accurate and coordinated models.

+ Monitor the design and drafting work of CAD personnel and coordinate closely with other engineering disciplines to maintain alignment and resolve design conflicts.

+ Prepare and maintain schedules for design work assignments, ensuring deliverables meet project milestones and deadlines.

+ Perform calculations to support piping and mechanical design decisions and document these calculations for project records.

+ Collaborate and communicate with project engineering teams and client engineering teams as required, participating in design reviews and coordination meetings.

+ Contribute to the development and execution of project plans, including design execution strategies and workflows.

+ Support a high-performing design team that is responsible for the successful execution of the project and consistently delivers high-quality work under tight deadlines.

Essential Skills

+ Proficiency in piping design and layout, including the use of advanced piping design techniques.

+ Strong experience with CAD systems and 3D design tools, including Revit 3D.

+ Ability to read, develop, and interpret P& (Piping and Instrumentation Diagram) documents.

+ Solid understanding of mechanical and pipe design principles and associated design documents.

+ Sound understanding of engineering terminology and industry practices related to piping and mechanical design.

+ Knowledge of applicable codes, standards, procedures, guidelines, and specifications and the ability to apply them in daily work.

+ Experience preparing and checking design deliverables, including drawings, layouts, and supporting documentation.

+ Ability to prepare calculations that support design decisions and document them clearly.

+ Strong communication skills with the ability to interact comfortably and professionally with project engineering teams and client engineering teams.

+ Capability to work with minimal instruction while following written procedures and guidelines.

+ Experience coordinating with multiple disciplines and monitoring CAD personnel to ensure quality and consistency of design output.
