About the role
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) Specialist based in France.
We are seeking an experienced P&ID Specialist to contribute to a focused engineering project supporting the development of advanced AI capabilities. You will be responsible for reading, interpreting, and creating accurate piping and instrumentation diagrams while following detailed technical conventions. The project involves approximately 26 tasks and 70 hours of work, ideally completed within one week. You will work independently or alongside a small group of specialists, maintaining a high level of precision across structured and repetitive assignments. The role requires strong engineering diagram literacy, familiarity with DEXPI, and the ability to identify and clarify technical ambiguities. This is a remote, short-term contract opportunity, with potential for further project work depending on future needs.
Accountabilities
Read, interpret, and create piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) in accordance with project requirements.
Apply the specified written diagram conventions consistently and accurately throughout all assigned tasks.
Maintain a high level of technical precision when completing repetitive diagram-related work over extended periods.
Review engineering flow diagrams and adapt efficiently to different diagram conventions and technical requirements.
Identify unclear information, inconsistencies, or ambiguities in diagrams and raise them for clarification.
Complete assigned project deliverables within the expected timelines and quality standards.
Collaborate with other specialists when tasks are distributed across the project team.
Requirements:
Demonstrated professional experience reading and drawing piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs).
Knowledge of the DEXPI standard.
Ability to interpret engineering flow diagrams fluently across different conventions.
Strong attention to detail and the ability to maintain accuracy during repetitive technical assignments.
Ability to follow detailed written instructions and apply diagram conventions consistently.
Good analytical skills and the confidence to identify and flag technical ambiguities rather than make unsupported assumptions.
Ability to work independently and manage assigned deliverables within a short project timeline.
Nice to have: Experience with structured annotation or extensive drawing markup using specialized software tools.
Nice to have: Broad knowledge of fluid systems, including steam cycles, fuel systems, cryogenic systems, vacuum systems, and life-support loops.
Benefits:
Hourly compensation: US$90 per hour.
Remote working arrangement, with location flexibility; candidates based in the United States or Europe are preferred.
Short-term contract engagement with approximately 70 hours of work across 26 tasks.
Target project duration of approximately one week.
Opportunity to collaborate with a small team of engineering specialists.
Potential for additional ongoing project opportunities after the initial assignment.
