    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)

      • You’ll stand out if you have:

        • Experience with multi-discipline project environments

        • Knowledge of stress analysis and in-line instrumentation

        • Experience mentoring or leading designers

        • SPED PPD Certified applicants preferred

    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

We offer many rewarding career paths to challenge and engage our employees at all phases of their careers.
