We are looking for an experienced piping designer who can bring strong technical ability, sound judgment, and a collaborative approach to industrial projects.

Experience with process fluid systems, petrochemical storage and transfer, storage tanks, compressed gas systems, boilers, power plants, or other industrial systems would be considered an asset.

Your Key Responsibilities:

• Contribute to the development of conceptual, preliminary, and detailed designs, models and drawings for industrial mechanical systems such as process piping/fluid systems, storage and transfer systems, storage tanks, compressed gas systems, boiler/utility systems, and equipment layouts/supports;

• Support site work as needed (e.g., field verification, redlines/as-builts, equipment and piping measurements) and incorporate findings into design deliverables;
• Work with engineers, project managers, and construction/field teams to incorporate mark-ups, resolve design questions, and produce coordinated, constructible drawing packages;
• Coordinate with project team members to resolve drawing comments, implement design changes, and meet schedule and quality expectations; and
• Assist with quantity take-offs/material lists and support preparation of construction/fabrication packages.

Your Capabilities and Credentials:

• A diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Design, or equivalent training/experience that demonstrates the ability to produce industrial mechanical and piping CAD deliverables;
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and Plant 3D is required. Experience with other 3D mechanical/plant design tools (e.g., Inventor, SolidWorks, Revit, or similar) would be considered an asset;
• Familiarity with drawings and deliverables for systems such as process fluid piping, storage and transfer, storage tanks, compressed gas systems, boilers, power generation facilities, or similar industrial assets;
• Intermediate to senior-level experience supporting industrial mechanical or piping projects, either in plant/operations environments or in consulting/design teams, is required;
• Ability to complete quantity take-offs;
• Able to manage multiple priorities and meet time-sensitive deadlines; and
• Hold a valid driver's license and willingness to travel to job sites.
