Piping Designer - Remote

Piping Designer - Oil & Gas Facilities

Looking for a role where you can take ownership of design work and see your projects through from concept to construction-without being tied to the office every day? This is a remote-friendly opportunity to work on complex, high-impact oil & gas facility projects within a collaborative EPCM environment.

We're hiring a Piping Designer who brings strong AutoCAD and 3D design experience, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate across disciplines to deliver high-quality, constructible designs.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Remote flexibility with options for hybrid or occasional in-office collaboration
• Work on diverse, technically challenging projects across gas, liquids, CO, and facility design
• Full involvement in design lifecycle-from concept to as-builts
• Strong project stability with repeat clients and steady workflow
• Highly competitive bonus structure tied to performance
• Collaborative, tight-knit team where your work is visible and valued

What You'll Do

• Develop detailed piping and mechanical design drawings using AutoCAD and 3D CAD tools
• Create facility layouts, general arrangements, and P&IDs for oil & gas projects
• Build complete piping design packages, including plot plans, sections, details, and bills of material
• Determine piping routing, nozzle orientations, and layout requirements for safe and efficient operations
• Coordinate closely with engineering, civil, electrical, mapping, and project management teams
• Use P&IDs and plot plans to develop accurate, constructible designs
• Perform thorough QA/QC checks and participate in peer and squad reviews to ensure quality
• Manage drawing revisions and documentation across all phases (IFC, bid, approval, as-built)
• Support interdisciplinary design reviews to prevent clashes and optimize layouts
• Assist with as-built drawings and documentation during and after construction
• Communicate design updates and impacts to project teams, ensuring alignment on scope and schedule

What You Bring

• 6+ years of piping design experience in oil & gas or industrial facilities
• Strong proficiency in AutoCAD and 3D piping design tools
• Experience designing compressor stations, meter/reg stations, pipelines, and processing facilities
• Ability to read and develop P&IDs, plot plans, and construction drawings
• Experience creating full piping drawing packages and material takeoffs
• Strong understanding of facility layout, piping routing, and constructability
• Proven ability to collaborate across multiple disciplines
• Solid QA/QC experience, including reviewing your own work and others'
• Associate's degree in Mechanical Design/Drafting or equivalent experience

Work Environment & Flexibility

• Remote-first approach for experienced designers
• Open to candidates nationwide, with occasional travel or office visits as needed
• Optional hybrid access for those near a local office
• Collaborative team of 35-50 professionals across engineering, design, and field services

You'll be part of a team delivering full-service EPCM solutions-from early project development through construction and operations support-giving you exposure to a wide variety of projects and design challenges.

Why Join

This is a great opportunity for a piping designer who wants technical ownership, flexibility, and long-term stability. You'll work on meaningful projects, collaborate with a strong team, and have the freedom to do your best work-whether remote or in-office.
