Piping Designer

Piping Engineer
Chester (Office & Site-Based)
Salary up to £60k (DOE)

The Opportunity
We’re supporting one of our key clients - an established and highly respected engineering consultancy specialising in piping design and process engineering across industrial, petrochemical and energy sectors.

They have built a strong reputation not just for the quality of their engineering, but for the way they treat their people. It’s a stable, well-run company with a consistent pipeline of work, offering engineers the opportunity to work on technically challenging projects within a genuinely supportive environment.

Why This Business Stands Out

• Low staff turnover - people join and stay
• A warm, friendly, and down-to-earth office culture
• Strong focus on developing and nurturing engineers at all levels
• Exposure to real engineering work, not just siloed tasks
• A business that values long-term careers, not short-term hires

The Role
This role is ideally suited to someone who has been working as a Piping Design Engineer and is either looking to step up, or is already operating as a skilled Piping Engineer.

• Produce piping design and engineering documentation
• Carry out pipe stress analysis and mechanical calculations
• Develop 3D piping layouts using AutoCAD / Plant 3D
• Prepare drawings, BOMs, reports and specifications
• Interface with clients, contractors and internal teams
• Conduct site visits and system surveys
• Support delivery across a range of industrial and process projects

What They’re Looking For

• Background in piping design / engineering
• Experience within oil & gas, chemical or industrial sectors
• Knowledge of ASME, BS EN and ISO standards
• Experience with AutoCAD / Plant 3D

The Environment

Close-knit, collaborative team

Office-based with site involvement

Supportive leadership with a hands-on approach

Opportunity to work across the full project lifecycle

The Bottom Line
If you’re looking to take the next step in your career, or move into a business where you can be valued, supported, and develop long-term, this is a genuinely strong opportunity.
