Process Piping Designer

Process Piping Designer

Our dynamic team in the northeast region has an immediate opportunity for a Process Piping Designer with 5+ years of experience in piping design. We provide design solutions for a variety of industries and market sectors including biopharmaceuticals, advanced manufacturing, chemical, and food & beverage. As the successful candidate your responsibilities include generation of piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), preparation of 3D models of equipment and piping systems, development of detailed isometric drawings from the 3D model, and equipment arrangement drawings.

Your Key Responsibilities:

• Support our Project Teams as a Piping Designer, primarily developing process piping designs in a 3D CAD environment and coordinating with the other trades to deliver an overall building design.
• Stay abreast of new design technologies and work with our Digital Practice Team to integrate them into our workflows.
• Incorporate 2D & 3D red line mark ups, developed by engineers and designers, into Revit or similar CAD applications including AutoCAD or AutoCAD Plant 3D. Training on multiple platforms will be provided; however, experience in Revit is required.
• Independently develop 2D or 3D piping plans, models, and arrangements starting from P&IDs that schematically show the system and piping concepts.
• Input valve, instrument, and piping component information into database systems to develop smart P&IDs and associated lists.
• Generate, review, and maintain databases and lists for lines, valves, and instruments.
• Perform clash detection and coordination reviews of the process designs with other disciplines including mechanical/plumbing, fire protection, electrical, structural, and architectural.
• Facilitate active coordination between other disciplines, including mechanical/plumbing, fire protection, electrical, structural, and architectural around process equipment needs and facility limitations.
• Perform field observations and measurements to document existing conditions and then model those in CAD.
• Assist the engineers in selecting piping system components including valves, instruments, and supporting equipment such as pumps and vessels.
• Assist the engineers in developing specifications for the piping systems.
• Develop 3D renderings and visualization models to graphically present the piping systems to clients and internal teams.
• Develop supporting process and process related design documents including floor plans, general arrangements, section views, elevation views, and isometrics.
• Perform quality control reviews of process related drawings and lists.

Your Capabilities and Credentials:

• General understanding of project document production.
• Experience with 3D environment.
• Proficient with Autodesk products: Revit, AutoCAD, AutoCAD MEP, AutoCAD P&ID and/or Plant 3D.
• The ability to interpret P&IDs to develop corresponding piping plans.
• Ability to participate and collaborate in project team setting.
• Ability to manage your effort on multiple projects on separate timelines.
• Ability to effectively communicate to Senior Designers and Engineers your progress on projects and assistance needed to complete assignments.

Education and Experience:

• Post-secondary education from a recognized technical college as an Engineering Technologist or equivalent experience required.
• Minimum five years of experience in design of piping systems preferred.

This position's location can be primarily focused in Albany, NY, Philadelphia, PA, or Burlington/Boston, MA. Intermittent travel for client site visits may be required on a per project basis. Extended travel assignments are not required.
