We are seeking a Lead Piping / QA Checker for a Hybrid assignment. Depending on project requirements the selected candidate will function as either a primary piping discipline lead or as the senior design QA‑QC authority. Understanding and clarifying scope, working with cross-discipline teams and ensuring their scope and team can meet the delivery schedule.
Hours are Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm
** Candidates should be proficient in either Cadworx -OR- Revit **
** Candidates can work a Hybrid schedule -anywhere- in the Continental US, Alaska or Hawaii **
- Serve as a primary technical authority for piping design, ensuring compliance with applicable codes, standards, material specifications, project design bases and internal procedures
- Be accountable for piping design quality within assigned areas, including layout development, routing, coordination with other disciplines and overall system integrity
- Communicate clear technical direction and expectations to designers, engineers and workshare teams
- Review vendor drawings, specialty piping data and design deliverables for accuracy, fit, function and constructability
- Perform and guide 3D model‑based design reviews, verifying constructability, access, maintenance, welding feasibility and long‑term operability — beyond clash detection
- Evaluate piping layouts, supports and interfaces for compatibility with stress requirements, installation sequencing and maintenance needs
- Identify design risks early, including conditions that may not present as formal clashes but could impact construction, safety or operations
- Provide clear, actionable redlines and feedback that improve overall design consistency and quality
- Apply QA/QC judgment throughout design development, ensuring that technically acceptable layouts that present execution or operational risk are corrected
- Support project‑specific design verification and quality activities in coordination with established QA processes
- Participate in technical, interdisciplinary and quality reviews, representing piping design intent and technical rationale
- Ensure checking and QA activities remain aligned with scope, schedule, level of development and project deliverables without becoming administrative bottlenecks
- Work closely with project delivery teams, piping leads, engineering managers and multi‑discipline stakeholders to maintain alignment and resolve issues
- Maintain strong team relationships, understand project priorities and promptly communicate design risks, scope changes, or execution concerns
- Support global workshare execution through clear communication, defined expectations and consistent technical standards
- Contribute to schedule awareness, staffing needs and workload forecasting as they relate to piping execution and quality assurance
- Mentor designers, engineers and checking staff through technical guidance and example rather than inspection‑only oversight
- Support improvements to piping workflows, tools, standards and review practices
- High School Diploma or GED
- 12 - 15+ years experience in Piping Design or Engineering
- 3+ years of proven technical leadership
- Proven ability to manage or support scope, schedule and budget considerations on multi‑discipline industrial projects
- Strong working knowledge of Cadworx or Revit, including the ability to review, assess and guide model‑based design deliverables
- Advanced working knowledge of piping codes and standards (ASME, B31.3, and related industry codes)
- Demonstrated understanding of constructability, safety and cost control principles as they relate to piping layout and design execution
