About the role
TL;DR
Design complex fluid and gas distribution systems for sensitive R&D and industrial projects.
- •We’re looking for a Specialist Lab Piping Designer to lead the design of complex fluid and gas distribution systems for our most sensitive R&D, industrial, and high-stakes infrastructure projects.
- •This role sits at the intersection of process engineering and architectural coordination, requiring a designer who understands that a wet lab or a cleanroom is only as functional as the high-purity systems supporting it.
- •Key Responsibilities Design and engineer comprehensive laboratory piping systems, including high-purity specialty gases such as N2, compressed air, vacuum, and RODI (Reverse Osmosis/Deionized) water systems.
- •Prepare high-fidelity design packages in Revit, owning the 3D coordination of sloped waste lines, gas manifolds, and overhead service carriers within complex ceiling voids.
- •Specify materials and components appropriate for the medium, ranging from orbitally welded stainless steel for high-purity gases to acid-resistant neutralized waste piping for wet labs.
- •Develop P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) and flow schematics that define system logic, pressure regulation, and emergency shut-off protocols.
- •Requirements Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or Architecture. 8+ years of experience in specialized piping design for R&D, healthcare, or semiconductor facilities.
- •Advanced proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD, specifically in creating parametric pipe types and complex 3D assemblies for laboratory equipment.
- •Deep technical knowledge of laboratory-grade plumbing, gas cabinet integration, and high-purity water generation.
