About Helio Urban Development

We need a plumbing engineer for occasional contract work when our projects require engineered plumbing design. Clean, efficient plumbing packages for straightforward residential buildings.

The Work

Scope per project:

  • Residential plumbing layouts and riser diagrams
  • Domestic hot water system sizing and design
  • Basic hydraulic calculations
  • Code compliance documentation
  • Integration with our architectural and civil packages

Typical turnaround: 3-5 business days per project

Volume: 1-2 plumbing packages annually (occasional basis)

Project type: Simple Part 9 residential - standard residential plumbing systems

What Makes This Attractive

Standardized templates: Similar building layouts mean you develop efficient standard approaches

Quick money: Small scope, fast turnaround, good compensation for minimal time investment

No project management headaches: We handle permitting, coordination, construction - you just deliver stamped plumbing drawings

High-performance team: Work with other results-driven professionals who respect your time and expertise

Growth potential: If you can handle other disciplines (electrical, HVAC, structural), significantly more work available

Compensation

Fixed fee per project - quote your rate for a typical 5-unit plumbing package

Fast-pay: Net 15 payment terms

Repeat client: Steady relationship as we scale, predictable scope when needed

Requirements
  • P.Eng. (Mechanical) licensed in Nova Scotia + Certificate of Compliance
  • 3+ years residential plumbing design experience
  • Proficient with plumbing design software and hydraulic calculations
  • Experience with residential DHW systems and code requirements
  • Available for occasional 3-5 day turnarounds
