Design complex systems that actually get built
At Valdes Architecture & Engineering, you won’t just produce drawings—you’ll lead the design of piping systems that support real industrial operations across energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure.

Guide and mentor junior designers
Where You'll Make An Impact
Own multiple projects—balancing quality, schedule, and budget
Improve design standards, workflows, and best practices
Play a key role in interdisciplinary coordination
Help shape how projects are delivered—not just execute them
What You Bring
Core experience:
8+ years of piping design experience
Strong background in plant layout and industrial systems
Proficiency with 2D/3D CAD tools (AutoCAD or similar)
You’ll stand out if you have:
Experience with multi-discipline project environments
Knowledge of stress analysis and in-line instrumentation
Experience mentoring or leading designers
SPED PPD Certified applicants preferred
