Senior Piping Designer (AutoCAD)

As a Piping Design & Drafting professional, you will be responsible for preparing and modifying piping layouts, isometric drawings, section views, and 3D models using AutoCAD and other design software. Your role will involve developing and designing piping systems for new construction and modification projects, ensuring compliance with project specifications and industry codes. You will also be tasked with creating material take-offs (MTOs) and piping bill of materials (BOMs) based on design specifications. In the realm of Project Coordination, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams such as mechanical engineers, structural engineers, and construction teams to integrate design elements effectively. Working closely with the procurement team, you will ensure accurate material and equipment specifications. Additionally, you will review and provide input on piping design drawings during project reviews to identify conflicts and enhance efficiency. Your expertise in 3D Design & Modeling will be crucial as you utilize AutoCAD 3D or similar software to generate detailed piping models that seamlessly integrate with other system designs. It will be your responsibility to optimize piping systems and layouts to minimize conflicts and ensure efficient use of space and materials. Furthermore, you will assist in converting 2D designs into 3D models to support construction and installation activities. In terms of Design Reviews & Compliance, you will conduct internal design reviews to ensure that all piping systems adhere to relevant codes and standards such as ASME, ANSI, and API. Implementing necessary design changes and ensuring compliance with safety regulations, environmental standards, and quality control measures will be part of your role. Your duties in Documentation & Reporting will involve preparing and maintaining accurate project documentation, including drawings, specifications, and technical reports. You will also organize and archive design files to ensure consistency, accuracy, and accessibility. Providing design-related support to the project management team, contractors, and clients will be essential. Moreover, as a seasoned professional, you will be expected to mentor and provide technical guidance to junior piping designers and drafters. Supervising the work of junior team members to ensure alignment with project goals and deadlines will be a key aspect of your role. Requirements for this position include a Bachelor's degree or diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Piping Design, or a related field, along with at least 8 years of experience as a Piping Designer. Proficiency in AutoCAD 2D/3D or similar CAD software, a strong understanding of piping codes and standards, and experience in industries such as oil & gas, chemical, power, or manufacturing are also essential qualifications.,
