We are seeking an experienced Heat Trace Designer/Project Manager to manage/perform the design, estimating, procurement, coordination, and execution of commercial and industrial electric heat-tracing projects.

This position requires strong technical design ability combined with practical construction and project-management experience. The successful candidate will manage projects from initial review and proposal development through material procurement, field installation, testing, documentation, and final closeout.

Primary Responsibilities

Heat-Trace Design

• Review construction drawings, specifications, piping schedules, equipment data, and project requirements.
• Identify piping, vessels, equipment, and systems requiring electric heat tracing.
• Perform heat-loss calculations and select appropriate heating cable, controls, connection kits, and accessories.
• Design freeze-protection, process-temperature-maintenance, and snow-melting systems.
• Develop heat-trace circuit schedules, cable schedules, load summaries, bills of material, and installation details.
• Determine circuit lengths, power requirements, breaker sizes, control methods, and electrical distribution requirements.
• Prepare design drawings and heat-trace layouts using AutoCAD, AutoCAD Plant 3D, Bluebeam Revu, or similar software.
• Coordinate heat-trace designs with piping, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and instrumentation systems.
• Review manufacturer requirements and ensure designs comply with applicable codes, specifications, and project standards.
• Prepare design revisions, redlines, as-built drawings, and final turnover documentation.

Estimating and Proposal Development

• Review bid documents and define the complete project scope.
• Perform material and labor takeoffs for heat-trace installation projects.
• Develop lump-sum estimates covering engineering/design, materials, labor, equipment, supervision, testing, documentation, and subcontracted work.
• Obtain and evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotations.
• Identify and/or define project inclusions, exclusions, qualifications, assumptions, schedule risks, and potential scope gaps.
• Prepare professional proposals and scope-of-work documents.
