We're looking for an experienced Piping Designer to support the design and coordination of complex water infrastructure projects. Working within a multi-disciplinary engineering team and reporting to the Principal Engineer, you'll play a key role in delivering robust, constructible, and maintainable piping layouts using Revit in a 3D design environment.

This is an exciting opportunity to get involved in critical water industry projects, with a mix of office-based (Manchester) and remote.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Producing high-quality 3D models and general arrangement drawings (GAs) using Revit.
• Designing layouts for wet and dry well pumping stations, concrete pump chambers, and ductile iron/epoxy-coated carbon steel pipework.
• Integrating vendor packages into plant layouts and ensuring seamless design coordination.
• Modelling access platforms, stairs, and handrails to meet client and industry standards.
• Participating in Access, Lifting, and Maintenance (ALM) reviews.
• Collaborating across civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines to ensure fully coordinated, clash-free models.
• Managing drawing registers and ensuring compliance with documentation standards.

What We're Looking For:

• ✅ HNC in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
• ✅ Proven background as a Piping Designer in the water industry or similar sectors
• ✅ Strong Revit skills (piping and basic structural layout)
• ✅ Working knowledge of AutoCAD and Navisworks
• ✅ Experience designing ductile iron/epoxy-coated carbon steel systems
• ✅ Familiarity with P&IDs, vendor data, and equipment layouts
• ✅ Understanding of pipe supports, plant layout, and operational access
• ✅ Knowledge of industry codes, health & safety, and best practices
• ✅ Clear communicator and confident working in a collaborative team environment
