Required Education, Experience, & Skills:

  • Minimum 15 years of piping/mechanical experience in the chemical, industrial, or manufacturing sectors.

  • Strong proficiency in 3D piping software (PDMS/E3D or PDS or AutoCAD Plant 3D) and 2D CAD tools (MicroStation, AutoCAD).

  • Ability to walk down projects and accurately estimate design and installation timelines.

  • Previous experience supervising junior staff is preferred.

  • Must be willing to work on-site at a client facility.

Physical Requirements:

  • Ability to work in both office and industrial plant environments.

  • Exposure to varying temperatures and the need for personal protective equipment (fire-resistant clothing, hard hats, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, etc.).
