Process Piping Designer

Description

• Track progress and contribute to schedule compliance for assigned tasks within project timelines.
• Support stress analysis efforts and assist with interpretation of stress modeling results to inform routing and support requirements.
• Review vendor documentation for pipe fittings, supports, specialty items, and equipment connections for design alignment.
• Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources, and conduct, and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies and procedures.
• Select piping components and materials based on fluid service, pressure class, temperature, and corrosion considerations.
• Lead the preparation of isometric drawings, bill of materials, and fabrication packages in collaboration with designers and drafters.
• Coordinate with mechanical, civil, structural, electrical, and process disciplines to ensure design compatibility and resolve interface issues.
• Develop piping system layouts and routing plans using 2D/3D CAD software and coordinate integration with plant and facility design.
• Perform engineering calculations related to pipe sizing, pressure drops, thermal expansion, and support loads.
• Review and interpret P&IDs, equipment layouts, and utility drawings to generate line routing, supports, and general arrangement plans.
• Prepare technical deliverables such as line lists, MTOs, valve data sheets, and piping specifications.
• Conduct field verifications and site walkdowns to validate design assumptions and capture as-built conditions.
• Participate in design reviews, model reviews, and constructability assessments with internal teams and clients.

Requirements

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel for design documentation, calculations, and material takeoffs.
• Ability to evaluate material compatibility and corrosion resistance based on service conditions.
• Strong communication skills for coordination with clients, vendors, and project stakeholders.
• Understanding of constructability principles and ability to contribute to field and construction-phase engineering support.
• Experience interpreting and developing P&IDs, line lists, and piping specifications.
• Engineer in Training Certification.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical or Civil Engineering, or a closely related discipline (or equivalent experience).
• Working knowledge of thermal expansion, pipe stress, and flexibility considerations in layout design.
• Experience working on multidisciplinary teams and contributing to integrated plant or facility designs.
• Proven track record of upholding workplace safety and ability to abide by WSP’s health, safety and drug/alcohol and harassment policies.
• Strong understanding of piping design principles, component selection, and layout requirements.
• Experience using CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Plant 3D, or SmartPlant) for piping and general arrangement development.
• 3 to 5 years of relevant post-education experience in piping engineering or industrial facility design.
• Familiarity with applicable piping codes and standards (e.g., ASME B31.1, B31.3, API, ANSI, ASTM).

Benefits

• Relocation assistance is not available for this position.
