Job description

We’re growing. Technica is a specialist engineering company delivering complex, multi disciplinary projects for clients across the UK and international energy and critical infrastructure sectors – spanning EC&I (Electrical, Controls & Instrumentation), software and controls, mechanical, process and civil engineering, with full accountability from design through to build.

An ambitious five-year strategy is taking us into new markets, new capability and new scale – which means genuine opportunity for the people joining us now: to grow a career, take on real responsibility, and help shape where the business goes next, alongside a team with over 20 years in the industry.

OUR WHY

Technica exists because the work we do matters. Millions of people depend on the infrastructure our team helps design, build, and maintain – from the energy that powers homes and businesses to the critical systems that keep industries running safely. We’re driven by the impact of getting it right: safe operations, systems that perform, and clients who can focus on what comes next rather than worrying about what might go wrong.

• Produces accurate 2D drawings and 3D plant models with practical piping layouts
• Translates client specifications and engineering codes into clear design deliverables
• Collaborates confidently across engineering disciplines to resolve design interfaces
• Develops practical, cost-effective piping solutions

You’ll take ownership of the piping design process, ensuring deliverables meet client piping specifications and standards, alongside national and international design codes. Your work will shape equipment layouts and pipe routing while supporting coordinated project delivery.

• Prepare piping design packages that meet client specifications
• Create piping deliverables in line with engineering codes, client policies and project standards
• Produce engineering drawings and technical documents
• Prepare material take-offs
• Improve piping designs and procedures to develop cost-effective solutions
• Provide guidance across disciplines on technical queries relating to piping design
• Work with other engineering teams to deliver coordinated, high-quality piping designs

• Report progress accurately against project programme requirements

What you'll bring

Experience & sector knowledge:

• Industry experience within an engineering consultancy, preferably across feasibility, FEED and detailed design
• Experience of transmission pipelines, above-ground installations, pressure reduction installations or comparable major process infrastructure
• Experience of engineering change control and reviewing technical engineering and vendor documentation
• Experience of G17/G35 engineering approvals would be an advantage

Design capability & collaboration:

• Extensive knowledge of 2D and 3D piping systems, equipment layouts and pipe routing
• Experience of providing construction support following design
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with a diverse team

What you'll get

• Company Performance Bonus Scheme
• Private healthcare (plus family options)
• Company pension
• Death in Service & Critical Illness cover
