Job Description
Are you a skilled 3D Drafting Designer who loves turning complex engineering concepts into precise, buildable designs?
This is your chance to play a key role in designing CO₂ liquefaction and LNG processing plants—projects that directly support the transition to cleaner, more efficient energy systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and produce comprehensive plant layout drawings for LCO₂ and LNG facilities.
- Create detailed 3D equipment models, including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and rotating machinery.
- Develop 3D piping models for process and utility systems such as CO₂, NH₃, water, oil, glycol, amine, refrigerants, nitrogen, and air—using in-house piping specifications based on ASME B31.1, B31.3, and B16.5 codes.
- Produce structural steel 3D models for supporting skidded and fixed equipment.
- Prepare equipment, structural, and piping detail drawings, including general arrangement (GA) and foundation details for fabrication and field installation.
- Generate Bills of Materials (BOMs) and piping isometric drawings for shop and site use.
- Lead model review meetings with internal teams and external clients, document meeting minutes, and track action items.
- Monitor progress against project schedules and provide weekly status updates.
- Review and coordinate vendor drawings and in-house redlines to ensure compliance with project standards and design intent.
- Collaborate closely with piping engineers and other disciplines to resolve design issues, non-conformances, and change orders efficiently.
- Verify that delivered vendor equipment matches the issued-for-construction (IFC) drawings and aligns with the 3D model and construction documentation.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Proficiency: with AutoCAD Plant 3D (P3D) – 3D modeling experience is required.
- Experience: using Autodesk Advance Steel is required.
- Education: Associate degree in Drafting & Design preferred; equivalent experience (3+ years) accepted.
- Experience: Minimum 5 years of relevant drafting/design experience is strongly preferred.
- Familiarity: with AutoCAD Plant 3D Spec Editor and P&ID program is a plus.
- Experience: in cryogenic systems and gas process plants is highly desirable.
- Ability: to read and interpret Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) is essential.
