Your impact
Join a collaborative organization delivering semiconductor and advanced manufacturing facilities for industry-leading clients around the world!
This role places you at the heart of a multi‑discipline, highly integrated engineering team dedicated first and foremost to delivering world‑class semiconductor manufacturing facilities—the most complex, high‑tech environments being built anywhere today. Semiconductor facility design is the core of our mission, driving an exceptional level of technical rigour, coordination, and innovation across every discipline.
You’ll join a vibrant, fast‑paced team that partners with industry‑leading semiconductor clients around the globe, producing designs that meet the extreme precision, cleanliness, and reliability standards required for modern chip fabrication. We engineer some of the most sophisticated and specialised semiconductor facilities in the world, where ultra‑clean environments, advanced process systems, and highly controlled utilities converge.
Our project portfolio spans feasibility studies, long‑range semiconductor capacity planning, and full design delivery including programming, schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and construction‑phase services for both design/bid/build and design/build programmes.
As a Piping Designer, you will develop piping layouts, 3D models, and construction deliverables for complex facilities while working closely with engineers and multidisciplinary design teams. You will support the successful execution of projects through quality design, discipline coordination, constructability awareness, and field verification.
