Job Description

Design complex systems that actually get built

At Valdes Architecture & Engineering, you won’t just produce drawings—you’ll lead the design of piping systems that support real industrial operations across energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure.

We’re looking for a Senior Piping Designer who wants ownership, variety, and the opportunity to mentor others while working on technically challenging projects.

What You'll Do

  • Lead piping design and plant layout for industrial projects from concept through construction
  • Develop 3D models, layouts, and detailed design deliverables
  • Collaborate with mechanical, structural, electrical, and I&C teams
  • Review vendor drawings and ensure design quality and constructability
  • Support field work and solve real-world issues during execution
  • Guide and mentor junior designers

Where You'll Make An Impact

Own multiple projects—balancing quality, schedule, and budget

Improve design standards, workflows, and best practices

Play a key role in interdisciplinary coordination

Help shape how projects are delivered—not just execute them

What You Bring

  • Core experience:
  • 8+ years of piping design experience
  • Strong background in plant layout and industrial systems
  • Proficiency with 2D/3D CAD tools (AutoCAD or similar)

What You'll Gain

Real ownership—not just task execution

Exposure to complex industrial projects across multiple industries

A path to Lead Designer, Project Manager, or Technical Specialist roles

Opportunities to influence standards and improve how work gets done

Why Valdes?

Work across disciplines—no silos

Direct access to leadership and decision-makers

Flexible work environment

Strong tenure and a culture of internal growth

Projects that move beyond design into real-world execution
