Piping Design Engineer

Job Details:

Piping Design & Stress Analysis Engineer

Direct Hire | $110,000 to $130,000 + Bonus

Industrial / Process Facilities

This is a permanent, hands-on engineering role focused squarely on heavy industrial and process-based facilities. The position supports piping systems for process plants, energy infrastructure, and complex industrial sites where constructability, code compliance, and field execution matter. The work is not commercial building–oriented; it is grounded in operating plants, large-bore piping, elevated pipe racks, rotating equipment, and demanding service conditions.

The engineer will be responsible for full-cycle piping design and stress analysis, from layout development through issued-for-construction packages, working closely with multidisciplinary teams in an industrial design environment.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain 3D piping layouts for process and heavy industrial systems, including pipe racks, equipment interconnects, and utility corridors.
• Perform detailed pipe stress analysis, load case development, and restraint evaluation for operating, thermal, wind, and seismic conditions.
• Design and coordinate pipe supports, anchors, guides, and restraints with structural and civil engineering teams.
• Prepare piping drawings, isometrics, stress calculations, support details, and IFC deliverables.
• Coordinate with process, mechanical, structural, and electrical disciplines to resolve clashes and ensure constructable designs.
• Support design reviews and address technical issues through the full design lifecycle.

Required Technical Background

• US Citizenship or current Green Card (Permanent Residency).
• Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in industrial piping design and stress analysis.
• Direct experience on industrial, energy, or process-sector projects such as oil and gas, power generation, petrochemical, chemical, or similar heavy industrial facilities.
• Strong working knowledge of ASME, ANSI, and API piping codes and standards.
• Advanced proficiency with Caesar II for pipe stress analysis.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD; experience with PDMS, SmartPlant 3D, and/or Navisworks strongly preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, piping specifications, equipment layouts, and stress reports.
• Working knowledge of structural steel integration, pipe rack design, and support coordination.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Typically 3–7 years of hands-on piping design and stress analysis experience in industrial or process-driven environments.

This role is best suited for an engineer who has worked on real operating facilities, understands industrial codes and load cases, and is comfortable producing technically rigorous, construction-ready designs.
