Mechanical Piping Designer

About the role

The Mechanical Designer – P&ID Developer is responsible for creating, updating, and maintaining accurate Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) that support safe and efficient industrial operations. This role works closely with mechanical and process engineering teams to document system layouts, fluid flow, instrumentation, and control logic across complex industrial processes. The ideal candidate brings strong technical expertise, attention to detail, and experience supporting both design and as-built documentation.

Location: Rincon, GA. Position type: Contract, fully onsite.

Application deadline: September 21, 2026.

Responsibilities

• Develop, update, and maintain Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) using industry-standard tools such as AutoCAD or AutoCAD P&ID.
• Accurately represent piping systems, equipment, instrumentation, control loops, and process flow in accordance with project and industry standards.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers, process engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to gather requirements and ensure design intent is captured correctly.
• Produce clear, detailed P&ID documentation including equipment symbols, pipe specifications, instrumentation details, and control logic.
• Ensure P&IDs comply with applicable safety regulations, industry codes, standards, and project-specific requirements.
• Support component selection efforts by coordinating with engineers on piping materials, valves, instruments, and associated equipment.
• Manage P&ID change control by documenting revisions, tracking updates, and communicating changes to internal and external stakeholders.
• Perform quality control reviews to validate accuracy, completeness, and consistency of P&IDs with project scope and safety guidelines.
• Develop and maintain as-built P&IDs reflecting actual system configurations following construction or field modifications.
• Clearly communicate design concepts, changes, and technical details to team members and project stakeholders.
• Provide guidance, training, and technical support to junior designers and drafters as needed.

Skills

• Mechanical design experience with a focus on P&ID development for industrial or manufacturing processes.
• Proficiency with P&ID development software such as AutoCAD or AutoCAD P&ID.
• In-depth understanding of industrial processes, equipment, piping systems, and instrumentation.
• Knowledge of safety
