We are looking for P&ID Drafters and Senior P&ID Designers who demonstrate strong ownership, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality. These individuals should be capable of producing accurate, drafting-ready P&IDs with minimal supervision while helping improve overall project execution and drawing quality. We are interested in both mid-level and senior candidates.

* This position is intended to begin as a contract assignment with the opportunity to become direct, provided there is a strong mutual fit for both client and the candidate.

Candidate Behaviors We Are Targeting

· Performs thorough self-checks before submitting work.

· Identifies errors, conflicts, and missing information independently.

· Demonstrates strong follow-through and accountability.

· Manages multiple priorities without compromising quality or accuracy.

· Strong AutoCAD and P&ID drafting/design experience.

· Experience working in EPC, petrochemical, gas processing, or industrial projects.

· Experience reviewing and incorporating engineering markups.

· Familiarity with standards, quality checking, and drawing coordination.

· Ability to work from controlled project inputs, including markups, references, specifications, and project standards.

Expectations

Mid-Level P&ID Drafter / Designer

Solid drafting execution, accurate markup incorporation, good self-checking habits, and willingness to learn client standards.

Reliable production support reduced basic drafting errors, and steady development toward stronger ownership.

Senior P&ID Designer

High technical accuracy, independent issue identification, strong project awareness, and ability to coordinate with engineers and designers.

Trusted technical support, improved quality, reduced rework, mentoring, and potential future leadership or quality responsibilities.

What Success Looks Like

· Drawings are accurate and complete before formal review.

· Questions are raised early and issues are resolved proactively.

· Standards compliance issues are minimal.

· Rework is reduced.

· Engineering and project teams have confidence in the quality of the work.

· The individual becomes a trusted resource the team can rely on.

· The individual demonstrates growth potential for future technical leadership, quality, coordination, or supervisory responsibilities.
