Are you driven to challenge software capabilities and push the bounds in the world of CAD design? Do you have a passion for showing a customer what their needs or dreams can look like before fabrication starts? CSI is looking for that motivated individual to join our team of successful designers in changing the way that process piping is accomplished on installation projects.

Job Description:

This position is responsible for the design of process piping systems for installation projects. This also includes data capture with 3D scanning, equipment layout, piping support structure layout and design coordination of field projects.
