Designed to Be Installed.\nThe best pipe designers have stood in the rack, held the wrench, and know what actually goes together in the field. At RK Industries, you'll take that field knowledge and put it where it matters most: into the model, before a single spool hits the shop floor.\nAs our Pipe Systems Design Lead, you'll be the bridge between design and installation on high-profile data center projects, reviewing multi-trade pipe racks and chilled-water closed-loop systems for constructability, catching what can't be built or manipulated in the field, and making sure every model, spool drawing, and package is built right the first time.\nAnd you won't build alone. RK's integrated fabrication, manufacturing, construction, and VDC teams give you the resources, technology, and in-house shop capabilities many contractors simply can't match.\nThis is an opportunity to turn years of field experience into a lasting career in design leadership.\nWhat You'll Lead\nReview contract drawings and models for design intent and constructability prior to VDC/BIM kickoff, flagging designs that can't realistically be installed in the field.\n\nLead constructability for multi-trade pipe racks and chilled-water closed-loop systems supporting data center construction.\n\nPerform quality control reviews of VDC/BIM models and fabrication/spool drawings before they reach the shop.\n\nOptimize projects for prefabrication, packaging, and delivery before spooling.\n\nPartner with Preconstruction, Project Managers, VDC/BIM, Field, and Manufacturing teams on material and fabrication best practices.\n\nWalk project sites with Field Managers to capture installation lessons and field material preferences, and bring them back into the model.\n\nAssemble pricing comparisons for material selection and optimization opportunities.\n\nMentor and train designers and detailers on trade-specific means and methods.\n\nProvide direction to the design team to meet schedule, quality, budget, and safety standards.\n\nChampion RK's safety culture in the office, the shop, and the field.\n\nWhat You Bring\nHands-on field pipefitting experience (journeyman, foreman, or equivalent) with mechanical, hydronic, or process piping. Required.\n\nWorking knowledge of Revit and Navisworks; Tekla or Revit Fabrication a plus.\n\nDesign, detailing, spooling, or VDC coordination experience. Experienced designers preferred; we'll train the right field talent.\n\nData center, mission-critical, or chilled-water system experience strongly preferred.\n\nAbility to read construction and fabrication drawings, specifications, and submittals with a high degree of accuracy.\n\nConfidence making independent decisions on methods and constructability, and clearly communicating the \"why.\"\n\nStrong teamwork, planning, and relationship-building skills across field, shop, and office teams.\n\nAbility to work full-time onsite in Henderson, CO. Relocation assistance available.\n\nWhy Build Your Career at RK\nSafety: Our unmatched culture of safety is our foremost core value, guiding everything we do each day: Health, Safety, & Environmental \nAwards: Whether in Construction, Manufacturing, Fabrication, or Service, RK Industries is highly recognized and accredited throughout the industry: Accreditations & Recognition \nBenefits: RK Industries offers competitive benefits to support your growth and well-being: Benefits & Rewards \nPhilanthropy: RK Industries not only builds our community through our projects, but also invests in it by supporting local services for over a decade through the RK Foundation: RK Foundation \nDevelopment: Through RK University, we provide hands-on training and development opportunities that empower employees to advance their careers and grow within the company, to include leadership and technical learning opportunities, we well as our accredited apprentice program: RK University & RK Apprenticeship Program\nYour Benefits\nPaid Time Off plus 6 paid holidays\n\nHealth Insurance with a $100 wellness incentive\n\n401(K) with company match\n\nEmployee Discount Program through PerkSpot\n\nRelocation assistance available\n\nIf you're ready to take what you've learned in the field and design systems that get built right the first time, we'd like to talk.\nBuild projects that matter.
