These responsibilities include but are not limited to:

* Conceptualization, engineering design, analysis, specifications, calculations, and documentation of hardware and/or process gas, chemical supply systems.

* Assist in the development of process piping system designs, layouts, and construction documents for chemical, utility, specialty gas, water treatment, wastewater, and industrial process systems.

* Produce detailed plans, sections, elevations, piping layouts, isometric drawings, equipment arrangements, and installation details utilizing KAEKO standards and industry best practices.

* Develop and maintain Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), piping plans, and related engineering documentation.

* Support the design and routing of process piping systems while considering constructability, accessibility, maintenance requirements, safety considerations, and operational efficiency.

* Prepare and revise engineering drawings utilizing AutoCAD, Revit, Plant 3D, and other applicable design software.

* Assist with equipment layout development and coordination between process equipment, piping systems, structural elements, electrical systems, instrumentation, and architectural features.

* Participate in interdisciplinary coordination efforts to ensure complete, accurate, and fully coordinated project deliverables.

* Assist in the selection and specification of piping materials, valves, fittings, supports, instruments, and related system components.

* Review project requirements, client standards, specifications, and applicable codes to support design compliance.

* Support engineering calculations, material take-offs, equipment schedules, and design documentation activities.

* Participate in project meetings, design reviews, constructability reviews, and quality assurance/quality control processes.

* Perform field investigations, site visits, facility assessments, and as-built verification activities to support project development.

* Coordinate with project managers, engineers, designers, contractors, equipment vendors, and client representatives throughout project execution.

* Assist with construction administration activities, including responding to Requests for Information (RFIs), reviewing shop drawings and submittals, and supporting field issue resolution.

* Maintain project documentation and ensure deliverables are completed in accordance with project schedules, budgets, client requirements, and KAEKO standards.

* Communicate project status, technical challenges, and design concerns proactively with project leadership.

* Continuously develop technical knowledge of process systems, piping design methodologies, and applicable industry standards.

* Perform all other duties as assigned to support the overall operations of the organization.

Minimum Requirements:

* 2 years of experience in process piping design, industrial facility design, manufacturing environments, semiconductor facilities, or related engineering disciplines.

* Understanding of industrial process piping systems, utility distribution systems, and facility infrastructure.

* Familiarity with Piping and Instrumentation…
