Mechanical Piping Designer / Technologist

CBCL is seeking a Mechanical Piping Designer (Technologist) to join our Industrial Mechanical Engineering team based in Halifax, NS!

Join us and help shape both our work environment and company culture by collaborating with other design and construction professionals on challenging and exciting industrial projects. From concept to completion, bring your passion for sustainable design principles to life while delivering exceptional results for our clients.

All experience levels are encouraged to apply! Whether you're a new graduate or an experienced technologist, we'd love to hear from you. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on experience from industrial environments (project engineering, maintenance, operations, or technical roles) or from consulting teams designing industrial mechanical systems, and be comfortable translating mark-ups and field information into clear, accurate CAD & modelling deliverables using tools such as AutoCAD Plant 3D. Exposure to areas such as process fluid systems, petrochemical storage and transfer, storage tanks, compressed gas systems, boilers, power plants, or other industrial systems would be considered an asset.

Your Key Responsibilities:

• Contribute to the development of conceptual, preliminary, and detailed designs, models and drawings for industrial mechanical systems such as process piping/fluid systems, storage and transfer systems, storage tanks, compressed gas systems, boiler/utility systems, and equipment layouts/supports;
• Produce 2D/3D CAD models and drawing packages including general arrangements, P&ID's, plan/section details, piping layouts, isometrics, and fabrication/installation details;
• Coordinate overall project models and collaborate with wider project teams;
• Develop and maintain drawing registers, title blocks, and project file organization in accordance with internal standards and client requirements;
• Support site work as needed (e.g., field verification, redlines/as-builts, equipment and piping measurements) and incorporate findings into design deliverables;
• Work with engineers, project managers, and construction/field teams to incorporate mark-ups, resolve design questions, and produce coordinated, constructible drawing packages;
• Coordinate with project team members to resolve drawing comments, implement design changes, and meet schedule and quality expectations; and
• Assist with quantity take-offs/material lists and support preparation of construction/fabrication packages.

Your Capabilities and Credentials:

• A diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology (or equivalent training/experience) that demonstrates the ability to produce industrial mechanical CAD deliverables;
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and Plant 3D is required. Experience with other 3D mechanical/plant design tools (e.g., Inventor, SolidWorks, Revit, or similar) would be considered an asset;
• Familiarity with drawings and deliverables for systems such as process fluid piping, storage and transfer, storage tanks, compressed gas systems, boilers, power generation facilities, or similar industrial assets;
• This opportunity is open to candidates at all experience levels (including new graduates and experienced technologists). Experience supporting industrial mechanical projects—either in plant/operations environments or in consulting/design teams—is highly preferred;
• Ability to complete quantity take-offs;
• Able to manage multiple priorities and meet time-sensitive deadlines; and
• Hold a valid driver's license and willingness to travel to job sites.

What we can offer you:

• A competitive compensation package effective on your first day of employment:
  • Comprehensive health and dental benefits
  • CAAT Defined Benefit Pension Plan with employer contributions
  • Generous vacation allowance commensurate with experience
• Maternity or Parental leave top-up
• Health spending account
• Wellness incentive
• Membership dues reimbursement
• Education and lifelong learning subsidization
• Community volunteering incentive
• Employee Family Assistance Program
• Public transit subsidy

In addition to the above benefits, we offer:

• Flexible hours and locations to support work/life balance;
• Ability to work paid overtime and bank time-in-lieu for future use;
• Diverse team with a wide range of experience and expertise;
• Exposure to a variety of projects;
• Support to develop skills and pursue projects related to your own interests;
• Collaboration between multiple disciplines and levels of expertise;
• Mentoring opportunities to foster your personal and professional development;
• Accessible and central offices in Atlantic Canada and Ottawa; and
• Access to training opportunities in areas ranging from technical development to leadership skills.
