The Senior Pipe Designer will develop detailed 2D and 3D models and drawings piping systems used in natural gas processing and fabrication projects.

• Prepare 2D and 3D models and detailed drawings of piping systems using AutoCAD or other CAD software.
• Review and interpret design specifications, P&IDs, and equipment drawings to ensure accuracy in models and deliverables.
• Coordinate design details between piping, structural, and mechanical disciplines to ensure consistency and fit up during fabrication.
• Creation of fabrication and installation drawings for shop and field use.
• Create basic material take-offs and assist with maintaining bill of materials (BOMs).
• Update drawings and models to reflect design changes and field modifications as required.
• Assist with design reviews and ensure that all work meets company and client standards.
• Maintain proper file organization and version control of design documents.
• Collaborate closely with fabrication shop personnel to ensure drawings are practical, clear, and aligned with fabrication methods.
• Other duties assigned to meet the needs of the business.

• Proficiency in AutoCAD; familiarity with CADWorx Plant or similar 3D modeling software.
• Strong understanding of piping design principles, structural steel design, and fabrication processes.
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, structural drawings, and fabrication plans.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy in drawing and documentation work.
• Effective communication and teamwork skills for collaborating with engineers, designers, and fabrication personnel.
