We’re looking for a Mechanical Piping Designer who’s ready to take the lead on designing fusible thermoplastic piping systems and custom mechanical assemblies for industrial, municipal, energy, and mission-critical applications. This is a role where your creativity meets real-world impact. You’ll be at the center of our design and production process — creating, refining, and supporting piping systems from concept to installation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Design, Design Technology, Engineering Technology, or similar
• 3+ years of mechanical piping design or piping layout experience
• Strong CAD skills (intermediate required, advanced preferred)
• Solid understanding of piping systems, assemblies, and mechanical design principles
• Experience creating detailed fabrication/manufacturing drawings

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Ability to juggle customer needs, project timelines, and organizational priorities

Nice To Haves

• Experience with HDPE, thermoplastic, or fusible piping systems (big plus)

Responsibilities

• Build detailed 3D models, piping layouts, and fabrication fixtures for fusible piping systems
• Design custom assemblies including manifolds, skids, transitions, supports, and more
• Apply industry standards (ASME, ASTM, ISO) to ensure safe, reliable, compliant designs
• Produce manufacturing drawings, BOMs, cut lists, and installation documentation
• Translate customer and site requirements into practical, buildable solutions
• Partner with manufacturing to optimize designs for fabrication and assembly
• Select valves, fittings, and system components based on performance and code requirements
• Support projects from concept through production alongside engineering, PMs, and sales
• Participate in prototype builds, troubleshoot production issues, and drive continuous improvement
• Help standardize design practices and templates
• Provide technical support during field installations
• Bring a friendly, service-oriented mindset to every interaction
• Promote safety and good housekeeping — always

Benefits

• You get to design systems that actually get built
• You’ll collaborate with smart, supportive teammates across engineering, manufacturing, and project teams
• You’ll see your work come to life — from 3D model to prototype to field installation
• You’ll have a direct impact on safety, quality, and innovation
