Plumbing Engineer III

The Plumbing Engineer III is responsible for leading the plumbing design scope on small to mid-sized projects of moderate complexity. This role owns the discipline design process, supports budget management, and collaborates closely with cross-functional project teams—including architects, engineers, clients, and construction partners.

This individual is a strong technical contributor with the ability to manage multiple priorities, guide less experienced team members, and independently drive plumbing design deliverables from concept through construction.

Core Responsibilities

• Design plumbing systems of moderate complexity in accordance with applicable codes and in coordination with multidisciplinary teams

• Translate project requirements into defined scope, while documenting key decisions, open items, and action plans to advance design progress

• Work independently or under the guidance of a Project Manager or Group Lead

• Serve as Engineer of Record for smaller projects when acting as Lead Plumbing Engineer

• Manage multiple priorities, establish work plans, and provide direction to junior engineers and designers as needed

• Develop engineering narratives, reports, construction drawings, and specifications with minimal oversight

• Expand technical expertise in specialty plumbing systems, including reclaim/gray water, process and biological waste, and service utilities (e.g., natural gas, compressed air, CO₂, N₂, O₂)

• Support proposal development activities, including scope definition, effort estimation, and schedule review under mentorship

• Develop fire protection performance drawings and specifications

• Identify non-compliant conditions during site assessments and field surveys

• Support construction phase services, including submittal reviews, RFIs, punch lists, and progress reporting

• Lead discipline quality efforts such as squad checks and peer reviews to ensure high-quality deliverables

• Contribute to internal training and knowledge sharing within the plumbing discipline

• Mentor and support the development of early-career engineers and designers

• Support system planning and programming efforts in collaboration with senior technical leadership
