Key Responsibilities:
Depending on project needs, this role serves as either a Piping Discipline Lead or Senior QA/QC authority, with full accountability for piping design quality from early layout through final model review. The position requires independent technical judgment to ensure designs are code-compliant, constructible, operable, and maintainable, with a strong focus on preventing downstream issues through proactive, design-integrated QA/QC.
The role leads piping design execution, ensuring compliance with codes, standards, and project requirements, while coordinating across disciplines to meet scope, schedule, and delivery goals. Responsibilities include overseeing layout and routing, reviewing vendor and design deliverables, and providing clear technical direction to designers and workshare teams.
Key functions include conducting and guiding 3D model reviews beyond clash detection—evaluating constructability, access, maintenance, stress considerations, and installation sequencing—while identifying risks early and providing actionable feedback to improve design quality and consistency.
The role supports project execution through close collaboration with engineering, project management, and multi-discipline teams, ensuring alignment, resolving issues, and communicating risks or scope changes. Additional responsibilities include supporting estimating, change management, and global workshare execution.
This position also emphasizes mentorship and continuous improvement, guiding team members through technical leadership, enhancing workflows and standards, and promoting a culture of quality driven by strong design practices and early engagement.
