  • Ensure piping designs meet relevant codes, standards, and safety requirements (ASME, ANSI, API, etc.)
  • Work with suppliers and fabricators to validate component compatibility, manufacturability, and installation feasibility


Qualifications

  • 5 years of experience in piping design, ideally within energy, chemical processing, industrial systems, or related heavy‑equipment sectors
  • Expert‑level proficiency in SolidWorks piping and routing modules, including configuration of libraries, design tables, and routing automation
  • Strong understanding of piping materials, fittings, supports, valves, and instrumentation
  • Experience producing fabrication‑ready drawings and coordinating with shop and field teams
  • Familiarity with flow battery systems, chemical process equipment, or fluid‑handling systems is a strong plus
  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD for P&IDs and 2D documentation
  • Ability to interpret process diagrams, mechanical schematics, and vendor documentation
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
