P&ID Quality Systems Designer / Engineer

Taylor Technical Services, Inc.; Texas; On-site; USD 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Taylor Technical Services, Inc. seeks a Senior P&ID Quality Systems Designer/Engineer to review engineering information before drafting, ensuring completeness and clear direction. The role focuses on data integrity, Bluebeam reviews, and early identification of design gaps.

The candidate will transform ambiguous comments into actionable drafting instructions and coordinate with engineering teams to prevent rework in projects.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of P&ID design, process systems, utility systems, or P&ID quality review experience.
• Strong P&ID development experience in EPC, petrochemical, gas processing, utility, or industrial project environments.
• Experience reviewing engineering comments, Bluebeam markups, vendor drawings, and controlled project references.
• Ability to build or develop utility P&IDs from design basis, process direction, equipment information, and project standards.
• Strong understanding of line numbering, valve tagging, equipment interfaces, instrumentation, controls, tie-ins, utilities, and package boundaries.
• Experience identifying conflicts between project P&IDs, vendor documents, data lists, and engineering markups.
• Familiarity with intelligent P&ID data, drawing attributes, connected information, and downstream data impacts.
• Proven ability to explain why engineering information is incomplete and what must be resolved before execution.

Responsibilities

• Reviews engineering markups for completeness before drafting work begins.
• Identifies missing decisions, conflicting comments, and unclear design direction early.
• Analyzes Bluebeam markups and transforms ambiguous review comments into specific, actionable engineering questions or drafting instructions that can be executed without additional clarification.
• Understands how process, piping, instrumentation, electrical, controls, procurement, vendor data, and construction are connected.
• Can develop utility P&IDs from engineering intent, not only from marked-up drawings.
• Recognizes when a drawing looks correct, but the underlying data is incomplete or disconnected.
• Challenges assumptions respectfully when engineering inputs are not complete enough to execute.
• Find design gaps before they become RFIs, vendor confusion, field questions, or late project rework.
• Communicates clearly with engineers and designers without taking over their decision rights.
• Works as a senior technical contributor, not as a supervisor or manager.

Job Description

P&ID Quality Systems Designer / Engineer

We are looking for a senior P&ID technical execution professional who can review engineering information before drafting begins, identify incomplete or conflicting engineering direction, and help the team prevent rework before it enters production.

This is not a supervisor, standards owner, or administrative role. The role is focused on engineering completeness reviews, Bluebeam markup quality, utility P&ID development, vendor document review, P&ID data integrity, and early identification of design gaps.

The right person can explain why a markup is not engineering-complete, what decisions are missing, and what questions must be resolved before the drawing can be responsibly updated.

Employment path: This position will begin as a contract assignment with the opportunity to become direct, provided there is a strong mutual fit for both client and the candidate.

Rate approach: Pay rate will be based on experience level, demonstrated technical judgment, systems thinking, review capability, and total contribution to project execution.

Candidate Behaviors We Are Targeting

• Reviews engineering markups for completeness before drafting work begins.
• Identifies missing decisions, conflicting comments, and unclear design direction early.
• Analyzes Bluebeam markups and transforms ambiguous review comments into specific, actionable engineering questions or drafting instructions that can be executed without additional clarification.
• Understands how process, piping, instrumentation, electrical, controls, procurement, vendor data, and construction are connected.
• Can develop utility P&IDs from engineering intent, not only from marked-up drawings.
• Recognizes when a drawing looks correct, but the underlying data is incomplete or disconnected.

• Proven ability to explain why engineering information is incomplete and what must be resolved before execution.

Level Expectations

Senior P&ID Quality Systems Designer / Engineer

Advanced technical review capability, strong systems thinking, independent issue identification, and ability to develop utility P&IDs from engineering intent.

Prevents rework by identifying incomplete engineering direction, vendor conflicts, data integrity issues, and design gaps before production begins.
