   • Use CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, or similar) to draft and modify piping layouts, creating detailed drawings and 3D models.
   • Help in developing design documents for piping systems, including material specifications, flow calculations, and system integration.

2. Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams:

   • Work closely with mechanical, structural, and electrical engineers to integrate piping designs into overall system layouts.
   • Coordinate with the procurement and construction teams to ensure the design is practical, feasible, and implementable.
   • Assist in coordinating design reviews and changes, ensuring the project stays on track and meets client requirements.

3. Code and Standard Compliance:

   • Ensure that all piping designs meet relevant codes, standards, and regulations (e.g., ASME, API, ASTM, etc.).
   • Assist in performing design calculations and pressure testing to verify that the piping systems comply with safety and operational requirements.
   • Help ensure that all designs account for environmental, safety, and efficiency considerations.

4. Review and Analyze Design Data:

   • Assist in reviewing project specifications, drawings, and other documents to ensure accuracy and consistency.
   • Analyze data and design information to optimize material selection, layout, and system efficiency.
   • Review and help resolve design discrepancies or potential issues in piping systems.

5. Documentation and Reporting:

   • Assist in maintaining accurate and up-to-date documentation for all piping design work, including drawings, change orders, and approvals.
   • Prepare and submit reports on project status, design progress, and any issues that may affect project timelines or deliverables.
   • Help track project milestones and assist in meeting deadlines to ensure timely project completion.

6. Learning and Skill Development:

   • Participate in training and development activities to enhance your technical skills in piping design, drafting, and engineering best practices.
   • Gain hands-on experience in using industry-standard design software, performing design calculations, and applying relevant engineering principles.
   • Continuously improve knowledge of piping materials, installation methods, and system operation to contribute more effectively to the team.

Key Focus Areas:

1. Piping Design and Drafting:

   • Assist with designing and drafting piping layouts and systems, ensuring they are functional and compliant with industry standards.

2. Collaboration with Engineering Teams:

   • Work closely with other engineering disciplines to ensure that piping systems are integrated effectively into larger system designs.

3. Compliance with Standards and Codes:

   • Ensure that all designs comply with safety, environmental, and industry standards and regulations.

4. Learning and Skill Development:

   • Focus on developing technical skills in piping design, drafting, and system integration through continuous learning and mentorship.

Qualifications and Skills:

1. Educational Requirements:

   • A bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field.
   • Knowledge of piping design and engineering principles is beneficial, but not required.

2. Experience:

   • 1-2 years prior professional experience required; this is an entry-level position for recent graduates or individuals looking to gain hands-on experience in piping design.
   • Experience with CAD software (AutoCAD, Revit, or similar) is preferred but not mandatory.
   • Any academic projects, internships, or coursework related to piping systems or mechanical engineering is a plus.

3. Skills:

   • Basic understanding of mechanical systems, particularly piping systems, and how they are integrated into larger engineering projects.
   • Strong proficiency in CAD software (AutoCAD, Revit, or other relevant software).
   • Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow specifications and standards accurately.
   • Good communication skills to collaborate effectively with senior engineers and other team members.
   • Ability to learn quickly and adapt to new challenges.

4. Certifications (Preferred):

   • Any relevant certifications or coursework related to piping design, AutoCAD, or mechanical systems is a plus.
   • Familiarity with ASME, API, or other relevant piping codes is beneficial.
