piping Designer/Piping Engineer

Conserve Solutions LLP; Chennai; On-site; INR 1,200,000 - 1,800,000; Full time

Job summary

Conserve Solutions LLP in Chennai, India, is seeking a Piping Designer (Water Treatment) to develop 3D piping models and deliverables for municipal and industrial plants using AutoCAD Plant 3D within a multidisciplinary team.

The role emphasizes designing piping systems, equipment layouts, isometrics, and related deliverables, ensuring code compliance and coordination with pipe stress, civil, and process groups.

Qualifications

• Diploma or ITI/degree in Mechanical/Piping Design or equivalent.
• 5+ years of piping design experience; at least 3 years in water/wastewater, desalination, or process industry.
• Strong proficiency in AutoCAD Plant 3D (spec editor, catalog builder, project setup, Iso configuration); working knowledge of AutoCAD and Navisworks.
• Solid understanding of piping codes and standards: ASME B31.3, B31.1 (as applicable), AWWA C-series, ASME B16.5/B16.47, ISO/EN flanges, AWWA M11 for steel pipe.
• Knowledge of valves (butterfly, gate, check, knife gate, diaphragm), pumps, strainers, flow meters, expansion joints, and flexible couplings used in water treatment.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain 3D plant models in AutoCAD Plant 3D, including piping, equipment, supports, and structural/civil interfaces.
• Develop and manage project specs, catalogs, and piping classes (carbon steel, SS 304/316, HDPE, PVC/CPVC, FRP, ductile iron, GRP).
• Produce P&ID-linked deliverables: piping GAs, plans/sections, isometrics, MTOs/BOMs, line lists, and equipment layouts.
• Maintain P&ID and 3D model consistency using Plant 3D's P&ID module, data validation, and tag/line number management.
• Route piping for pump stations, blowers, clarifiers, filter galleries, membrane skids, and chemical areas, accounting for gravity flow, NPSH/suction conditions, slopes, venting, and drainage.
• Design chemical piping (e.g., sodium hypochlorite, ferric chloride, caustic, acid, polymer) with proper materials, secondary containment, and double-wall considerations.
• Coordinate pipe supports, expansion, and stress-critical lines with the pipe stress engineer.
• Perform clash detection (Navisworks or Plant 3D clash tools) and resolve interferences with civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical teams.
• Ensure designs allow for operation, maintenance access, valve/instrument accessibility, and equipment removal.
• Generate and manage isometrics via Plant 3D Isometric/Ortho tools, including spool numbering for fabrication.
• Support site queries, as-built updates, and model revisions through project phases.
• Follow company CAD standards, QA/QC procedures, and document control.
