Mechanical Designer

About the role

Mechanical Designer with 5 to 10 years of experience as a P&ID Developer responsible for creating, updating, and maintaining Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) that illustrate the flow of fluids, control systems, and equipment in industrial processes. Works closely with engineering teams to ensure safe and efficient operation of complex systems. This is a Contract position based out of Moss Point, MS. The role involves working in industrial and manufacturing settings, collaborating with engineering teams, and adhering to safety regulations and industry standards.

Responsibilities

• Create and update P&IDs using industry-standard software, such as AutoCAD, to accurately represent the layout and functionality of piping, equipment, and instrumentation in industrial processes.
• Work closely with mechanical engineers, process engineers, and other stakeholders to understand the requirements for P&IDs and ensure that they meet design specifications.
• Generate detailed and clear P&ID documentation, including equipment symbols, instrument details, piping layouts, control loops, and asset naming & numbering.
• Ensure that P&IDs comply with safety regulations, industry standards, and project-specific requirements.
• Collaborate with engineers to select appropriate piping materials, valves, instruments, and other components based on design and operational requirements.
• Manage changes to P&IDs by documenting and tracking revisions, and ensuring that all stakeholders are informed of updates.
• Review and validate P&IDs for accuracy and completeness, ensuring that they are consistent with project goals and safety guidelines.
• Create as-built P&IDs to reflect the actual configuration of systems after construction or modifications, requiring field walkdowns to QC accuracy of data and CAD work.
• Clearly communicate design concepts and modifications to team members and project stakeholders.
• Provide training and support to less experienced team members and drafters in P&ID development.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, mechanical design, or a related field.
• 5-10 years of experience in mechanical design with a focus on P&ID development for industrial processes.
• Proficiency in P&ID software (AutoCAD).
• In-depth understanding of industrial processes, equipment, and instrumentation.
• Knowledge of safety regulations and industry standards related to P&ID development.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Effective communication and collaboration abilities.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to delivering accurate and high-quality P&IDs.

Skills

• Experience with as-built documentation and field walkdowns.
• Ability to manage change effectively and communicate updates clearly.
