Piping Engineer
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Include only sections with real specific content. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions, Job ID, etc. We need to parse the job description. Key sections: - About the role: The description includes a paragraph: "The Piping Engineer will support the Lead Mechanical Engineer in the execution of a large capital project at a chemical facility in the Kansas City, ...". That's about the role. - Responsibilities: bullet list under "Responsibilities". We need to capture each bullet. - Essential Skills: list of skills/requirements. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have "Essential Skills" list (B.S. or M.S., 12 years experience, etc.) Also "Additional Skills & Qualifications". Also "Work Environment" details about schedule, travel, etc. Also "Job Type & Location" (Contract position based out of Saint Louis, MO). Also "Pay And Benefits" with pay range and benefits list. Also "Workplace Type" (hybrid). Also "Application Deadline" (but we should drop application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. Application deadline maybe considered metadata; but it's not an instruction to apply, it's a deadline. Might be considered minor metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Application deadline is minor metadata; we could include in a short p under maybe "About the role" or separate? Better to drop? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Application deadline is substantive? It's not about the job duties but about timing. Might be considered metadata; but we could include as a short p under a generic heading? There's no heading for "Application Deadline". We could include it in a
after other sections, maybe under a heading like "Details". But we are limited to headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put deadline under "About the role" as a short p. Also "Work Environment" includes schedule/travel details; could go under Schedule section (since schedule info). Also "Workplace Type" (hybrid) could be under Schedule or maybe under About the role. We need to avoid creating sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. At the end there is a lot about Actalent, equal opportunity, accommodation, etc. Must remove. Also remove "Application Deadline" maybe? But we need to preserve substantive info; but it's not about the job itself. However it's still info about the posting. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep it unless it's considered boilerplate. It's not boilerplate; it's a specific date. So we should keep it. We need to decide where to put it. Could be under a heading like "Details" but not allowed. Could be under "About the role" as a short p. Now, we need to format lists: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
We need to separate sections: each heading
then content. We must not include or . Just fragment. Let's extract content. About the role: The first paragraph after Job Description: "The Piping Engineer will support the Lead Mechanical Engineer in the execution of a large capital project at a chemical facility in the Kansas City, MO area, with a strong emphasis on piping systems design, pipe stress analysis, and startup/commissioning activities. This long-term contract role spans multiple project phases, from detailed design and documentation through construction, startup, and commissioning, and involves close collaboration with a multidisciplinary engineering and project team." We could also include the later "Work Environment" description about phases, but that's more about schedule/work environment. Might be better to put under Schedule or About the role? The schedule section is for schedule info; we have schedule details in Work Environment. So we can put schedule details under Schedule heading. Responsibilities: list of bullet points under "Responsibilities". Let's capture each: - Participate as an active member of the project team, collaborating closely with mechanical, process, electrical, and construction professionals throughout all project phases. - Assist in the development and review of piping layouts, equipment arrangements, piping specifications, and complete design packages in accordance with applicable codes, standards, and site requirements. - Support the Lead Mechanical Engineer in defining project design requirements for mechanical and piping systems and assembling estimate information for the mechanical/piping discipline. - Ensure piping designs meet process operability, maintainability, and safety objectives, incorporating best practices and relevant industry standards. - Prepare and review line lists, check P&IDs, and specify valves, piping, and related components during the design phase. - Assist in the development of construction and fabrication packages, including drawings, vendor data, and technical specifications for mechanical and piping work. - Contribute to project design documentation and closeout documentation in alignment with the established engineering execution process. - Assist with project commissioning and checkout activities, helping to validate system performance and ensure a smooth startup of piping systems. - Provide technical oversight and support for mechanical and piping contractors, reviewing drawings, clarifying requirements, and helping to resolve technical issues. - Work closely alongside the construction management team, coordinating with contractors and cross-checking drawings and documentation during construction. - Travel to project sites as required, with onsite presence increasing during construction, startup, and commissioning phases. Now Essential Skills list (maybe under Requirements or Qualifications). Let's list: - B.S. or M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering. - Approximately 12 years of engineering experience, with significant focus on piping systems and capital project execution. - Broad knowledge of mechanical codes and industry piping standards, including familiarity with ASME and relevant piping codes. - Expertise in CAEPIPE pipe stress analysis software and strong proficiency in pipe stress modeling and analysis. - Experience in piping system installation, startup, and commissioning within industrial environments. - Demonstrated ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary project team and contribute to complex capital projects. - Strong interpersonal skills, including clear communication, active listening, verbal clarity, and appropriate assertiveness. - Collaborative mindset, capable of working well with people across all levels and hierarchies, both internally and externally. - Health, safety, and environment (HSE) driven mindset, with a willingness to follow safety and engineering standards and guidance. - Ability and willingness to travel onsite, with flexibility to adjust onsite presence based on project phase and needs. Additional Skills & Qualifications list: - Knowledge of pipe stress modeling software and methodologies beyond CAEPIPE. - Experience working on capital expenditure (CAPEX) projects and understanding of full project life cycle and team dynamics. - Hands-on experience with startup and commissioning activities in industrial facilities. - Background in chemical or oil and gas industries is highly beneficial. - Familiarity with ASME standards and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) practices. - Knowledge of piping codes such as ASME B31.3 (Process Piping) and ASME B31.1 (Power Piping). - Experience with COMPRESS or similar pressure vessel modeling software is preferred. - Residence in the Kansas City (KC) or St. Louis (STL) area is advantageous for travel and onsite work. Work Environment details (schedule/travel): - This role supports a major capital project at a chemical facility in the Kansas City, MO area and can be based in either the Kansas City or St. Louis region. - The work will occur in distinct phases. - During the initial design phase, roughly the first six months, the position will be primarily desk-based, focusing on line lists, P&ID reviews, and specifying valves and piping within an office or engineering environment. - During this phase, onsite visits to the Kansas City facility are expected to be limited to short day trips, approximately a couple of days per month. - As the project moves into construction, onsite presence will increase, with regular weekly visits anticipated, including time in Chesterfield and at the Kansas City site. - In the final startup and commissioning phase, onsite work will likely be required four to five days per week for the last several months of the project. - The role involves working closely with process engineers, project managers, electrical engineers, and construction management, as well as coordinating with contractors. - The schedule generally aligns with a standard full-time workweek, but travel and onsite needs will vary in waves depending on project demands, so candidates should be comfortable with a nimble and dynamic work pattern. - Dress expectations align with professional office attire during design work and appropriate industrial site attire, including required safety gear, during onsite activities. Job Type & Location: - This is a Contract position based out of Saint Louis, MO. Pay And Benefits: - Pay range: $50.00 - $60.00/hr. - Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors. - Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment. - Benefits are subject to change and may be subject to specific elections, plan, or program terms. - If eligible, the benefits available for this temporary role may include the following: - Medical, dental & vision - Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital - 401(k) Retirement Plan – Pre-tax and Roth post-tax contributions available - Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D for the employee and dependents) - Short and long-term disability - Health Spending Account (HSA) - Transportation benefits - Employee Assistance Program - Time Off/Leave (PTO, Vacation or Sick Leave) Workplace Type: - This is a hybrid position in Saint Louis, MO. Application Deadline: - This position is anticipated to close on Oct 1, 2026. Now we need to map to headings. We have: - About the role: we can include the initial paragraph plus maybe Job Type & Location? But Job Type & Location could be under About the role or separate. Since we have limited headings, we could put Job Type & Location under About the role as a short p. - Responsibilities: as above. - Requirements: Could combine Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications? Or we could have Requirements (essential) and Qualifications (additional). The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could have Requirements for essential skills, Qualifications for additional skills, and Skills maybe for something else? But we already have Skills heading list; we could use Skills for something like "Technical Skills" but we already have essential and additional. To avoid thin sections, we could combine essential and additional under Requirements or Qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (combining Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications) - Benefits - Pay - Schedule (from Work Environment) - Maybe Workplace Type could be under Schedule or About the role. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Pay And Benefits, and Work Environment includes schedule details. So we can have Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't create a heading with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now we need to output HTML. Structure:
