Developing Pipe Designer

We're seeking a piping designer ready to build technical skills while supporting projects that keep our clients' facilities running at their best. Join us, and you'll work on industrial and commercial facility designs alongside experienced engineers and designers who will help you grow into the role.

As a developing-level piping designer, you'll support the creation of piping models, layouts, and drawings under moderate guidance. You'll learn to interpret project requirements, coordinate with other disciplines, and apply design standards as you build your technical foundation.

This hybrid position requires weekly attendance (2 days) in a company's approved office location. The preferred locations are Portland, OR;
Phoenix, AZ;
Pittsburgh, PA; and Boise,  may be considered that would allow you to sit in alternate offices; however, assume that you must find yourself aligned with the "Ideally You Will Have" bullets.

Here's What You'll Need

• Associate's degree in design technology or a related field (equivalent practical experience of 2+ years).
• 2–4 years of piping design experience in industrial, commercial, or manufacturing facilities.
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD Plant 3D, Revit, or CADWorx for piping design and modeling.
• Understanding of piping fundamentals, equipment arrangement, and general design practices.
• Ability to read and interpret basic piping specifications and apply them to design under guidance.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail in drawings and models.
• Effective communication skills and willingness to work in a multidisciplinary environment.

Ideally, You Will Have

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering Technology or similar curriculum.
• Experience in pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical, semiconductor, or advanced manufacturing facilities.
• Familiarity with pipe stress concepts and how they influence layout decisions.
• Exposure to QA/QC workflows, model cleanup, or specification-driven design.
• Direct experience with Revit or CADWorx beyond foundational skills (e.g., family/part creation, spec-driven design, or advanced modeling tools).
• Prior involvement in global workshare environments.

What You'll Do

• Develop basic piping layouts and perform pipe routing tasks in AutoCAD Plant 3D, Revit, or CADWorx under direction from senior staff.
• Apply fundamental piping design principles, including size selection, routing logic, and coordination with other disciplines.
• Assist with equipment layout and incorporate simple vendor information into design models.
• Support the creation of drawings, details, and deliverables following the company's standards.
• Help review and integrate markups, comments, and redlines from senior designers and engineers.
• Participate in workshare coordination by preparing clear instructions and communicating model status with global teams.
• Maintain quality, accuracy, and organization across assigned design tasks.
