About The Position

Piping designers for Y-12 will be responsible for providing CAD drawings for maintenance and construction design packages. Designers will perform walk-downs of process piping and utility piping systems in support of nuclear and non-nuclear projects at Y-12. Design activities involve the preparation of conceptual design and title II output documents including P&IDs, piping drawings, construction drawings, utility drawings, bills of material for cost estimating and man-hour estimates. Experience with 3D modeling is required. Experience with Smart Plant 3D software is desirable. Candidate must effectively and cooperatively work as a team member of an integrated project team. Designers will routinely perform walkdowns in the existing plant facilities in order to generate design documents. The piping designer shall be responsible for interpreting, organizing, and executing assignments and engineering design for process piping and utility piping systems in support of nuclear and non-nuclear projects at CNS. A strong candidate for the piping designer position should have experience with design in systems such as potable water, gas supply systems, acid and caustic fluids, brines, cryogenics, steam and condensate, hot and chilled water systems, chillers, boilers, cooling towers, and vacuum systems. Additionally, experience with pipe routing, piping component selection and ASME B31.3 and B31.1 Code Compliance is required.
