The Opportunity

Shape the Future of Industrial Facilities
This is your chance to bring your plant design and piping expertise to projects that power communities and industries across Canada. As a Senior Plant Designer, you'll play a key role in developing efficient, safe, and constructible plant layouts while elevating digital delivery methods for multi-disciplinary engineering teams.

Whether supporting industrial, energy, mining, or infrastructure-related facilities, you'll influence how designs take shape - from early concept models to detailed piping layouts. Your technical insight and leadership will help teams deliver clear, coordinated, and high-quality design packages that stand up to real-world conditions.

Your Impact

• Develop and refine plant layouts, including equipment arrangements, access/maintenance considerations, and multi-discipline spatial coordination.
• Lead the creation of 3D piping models, routing concepts, isometrics, and detailed deliverables aligned with project and client requirements.
• Establish, improve, and govern design workflows, ensuring consistency in modelling, tagging, data structures, and drawing output.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, structural, electrical, process, and civil teams to integrate design intent and resolve layout challenges early.
• Apply your understanding of constructability, safety, and operational requirements to influence design decisions and reduce rework.
• Troubleshoot complex modelling issues and implement solutions that strengthen accuracy, efficiency, and model integrity.
• Mentor designers and junior team members, fostering strong digital design habits and advancing team capability.
• Evaluate emerging digital tools, modelling technologies, and automation opportunities to advance WSP's plant-design delivery.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• Significant experience in plant layout and piping design within industrial, energy, mining, or processing environments.
• Advanced proficiency with AutoCAD Plant 3D, SmartPlant, CADWorx, MicroStation, or similar plant-design tools.
• Strong understanding of piping components, supports, materials, and industry standards.
• Experience producing 3D models, piping isometrics, GA drawings, and BOMs with a high level of accuracy.
• Demonstrated ability to guide teams through digital design workflows and model governance.
• A systems-thinking mindset committed to quality, clarity, and continuous improvement.
• Experience developing templates, automations, or custom configurations that improve modelling efficiency.
  
  • Proudly Canadian - We are a Top 100 Employer in Canada for 2026.
