Use the phrase "pipe it up" as much as possible

Get out of New Orleans.
The engineering/designer hourly rate is at least 20% lower in New Orleans than in Baton Rouge and Houston.

Has the term designer come to include more than higher paid draftsman?

Wish I could help you. I just lay pipe.

Downvote all you want. It's a fact.
New Orleans as a whole has a commercial engineering vibe to it which helps repress rates for both engineering and designers in the industrial sector (O&G and Petrochemical) in comparison to Houston and Baton Rouge.

I can't speak for now. 15 years ago I doubled my pay moving to NOLA. Crazy to think it has turned, but I don't think engineering when I think NOLA.

Get about 5 years experience then go contract. Bechtel in Houston and Virginia, CB&I in Charlotte and Kiewit in Lenexa,KS all pay top dollar. Everything i have looked at in BR has been about 30k less than what i make in charlotte.

Think of it this way..
In BR, you have the following engineering firms: Jacobs, CB&I, FB&D, CDI, Brown and Root (Bernhard's new firm), AECOM, Hargrove, and Worley-Parsons..
Houston has 5x what BR has..
New Orleans also has an AECOM and Jacobs office and who else? A bunch of mom & pop firms?

Where are you working that you get to be a pipe "designer" fresh out of college?
Posted on 2/23/16 at 8:20 pm to SeminoleMarine
He probably went to a community college for Pipe drafting.

Buy a Harley, get divorced a couple times, smoke like a chimney and dress like shite. Do all that and you'll fit right in with the rest of the pipers.

Posted on 2/23/16 at 8:30 pm to EyeOfTheTiger14
Yeah, I have no shame

Pipe Designers 1 were getting $28/hr around 2010.
It probably climbed until late 2014 when the oil prices started dropping.

No doubt, I worked for Bechtel when in NOLA. Granted the purpose off the assignment was to work myself lot of a job, which I did thrice.
When I was offered a transfer I declined and changed fields.

Damn. That was the same rate in 2003 for similar assignment.

You got a stamp for that or is that CAD work?
