About Fervo Energy

Fervo Energy (NASDAQ: FRVO) is a modern power company developing next-generation geothermal resources to meet the growing demand for affordable, reliable, 24/7 carbon-free energy. Our mission is to transform geothermal into America’s most dependable and affordable source of clean, around-the-clock power. By combining innovations in horizontal drilling, fiber-optic sensing, and advanced reservoir engineering, Fervo has developed a repeatable approach to building utility-scale enhanced geothermal systems. Our flagship Cape Station development in Utah is planned to deliver 500 MW of firm, carbon-free power, and we are advancing a development pipeline of more than 50 GW. Join us and work alongside world-class engineers, geoscientists, operators, project builders, and business leaders working to make geothermal a cornerstone of a more reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy future.

Position Description

Fervo Energy is applying first-principles engineering and a manufacturing mindset to geothermal power, an industry that has operated the same way for decades. Rather than deploying one-off energy projects, we are building standardized, repeatable GeoBlocks designed to get cheaper, faster, and more reliable with every iteration.

Fervo deploys an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power plant to convert heat to electricity. At the heart of the power plant is heat transfer and fluid handling equipment, including the air-cooled condenser, shell-and-tube heat exchangers, feed pumps, pressure vessels, and the piping and cabling that connect them. That equipment is the biggest driver of the power plant construction cost, footprint, and thermal performance, which makes it the place where designing a product instead of a project pays off the most.

Fervo’s geothermal power plants rely on complex brine and process piping systems to move high-temperature fluid from wells to power conversion equipment and back. We're seeking a talented Piping Designer with both Revit and Siemens NX (or similar) experience to join our team. As a key member of our team, you'll have the opportunity to showcase your design/layout skillset, bringing conceptual designs into reality. The Piping Designer is responsible for the detailed design of these systems — including large-diameter brine routing, piping layout, and isometric drawing production — supporting Fervo’s active project deployments and EPC coordination.

This is a senior individual contributor role for an experienced piping designer who has routed large-diameter systems in industrial or power generation environments. You will own piping design deliverables for plant piping systems — developing routing solutions, producing isometrics, and coordinating with civil, mechanical, and process engineers to deliver complete, constructable design packages.

Brine systems present unique routing challenges: large pipe diameters, high temperatures, site constraints, and the need for creative, cost-effective solutions. This role is for someone who has solved these problems before and brings the experience and judgment to do it again in a fast-moving environment with limited margin for rework.

The right candidate works independently, interfaces with EPC partners effectively, and helps develop internal standards.

Responsibilities

Piping Design

Develop piping routing layouts, isometrics, and support drawings for large-diameter brine and process piping systems

Produce detailed piping design packages from P&IDs, equipment layouts, and process engineering inputs

Develop and maintain line lists, piping material specifications, and supporting documentation

Incorporate field markups and design changes accurately and efficiently

EPC and Vendor Coordination

Interface with EPC partners on piping design deliverables, design reviews, and field coordination

Review EPC piping submittals for compliance with Fervo’s design standards and project requirements

Participate in model reviews and constructability assessments

Standards Development

Contribute to the development of Fervo’s internal piping design standards and material specifications
