• Create and maintain three-dimensional models and two-dimensional construction documents in accordance with project standards.
• Incorporate engineering calculations, design sketches, vendor information, survey data, and field measurements into design deliverables.
• Review process and instrumentation diagrams, equipment layouts, piping plans, vendor drawings, and multidisciplinary design documents.
• Coordinate design interfaces with civil, structural, piping, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, architectural, and construction teams.
• Coordinate equipment locations, foundation dimensions, anchor-bolt arrangements, support locations, elevations, and interface points.
• Participate in site visits, field walkdowns, laser scans, surveys, and the collection of existing facility information.
• Perform field measurements and document existing structural and civil conditions.
• Interpret topographic surveys, geotechnical information, point-cloud data, existing drawings, and site records.
• Identify and communicate design conflicts, incomplete information, constructability concerns, and potential field issues.
• Support the development of material takeoffs and quantity estimates.
• Review vendor, fabricator, and subcontractor drawings for dimensional coordination and consistency with project requirements.
• Assist with the preparation and review of structural-steel shop drawings, reinforcing-steel details, anchor-bolt plans, and concrete details.
• Maintain drawing registers, model files, revisions, and supporting design documentation.
• Follow company drafting standards, client specifications, project procedures, and quality-control requirements.
• Perform self-checks and participate in interdisciplinary and independent design reviews.
• Revise drawings and models based on engineering comments, client feedback, construction requests, and field conditions.
• Support construction activities by preparing sketches, responding to redlines, and incorporating field changes into record drawings.
• Manage multiple assignments while meeting project schedules, budgets, and quality expectations.

Qualifications
• Associate degree, technical diploma, or equivalent training in drafting, design technology, civil design, structural design, or a related field is preferred.
• Minimum of five years of relevant civil and structural design experience is preferred.
• Experience supporting industrial, refining, petrochemical, chemical, energy, or manufacturing facilities is strongly preferred.
• Experience developing reinforced-concrete foundation drawings and structural-steel fabrication or construction drawings.
• Experience with equipment foundations, pipe racks, platforms, buildings, pipe supports, tank foundations, and miscellaneous industrial structures.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and related drafting and design applications.
• Experience with AutoCAD, Advance Steel, Plant 3D, Navisworks, or similar software is preferred.
• Experience working with three-dimensional models, laser scans, and point-cloud data is preferred.
• Ability to interpret engineering sketches, calculations, surveys, geotechnical information, vendor drawings, and multidisciplinary design documents.
• Working knowledge of civil and structural drafting standards, construction practices, and industrial facility requirements.
• Familiarity with structural-steel detailing, reinforced-concrete detailing, anchor-bolt layouts, reinforcing-steel placement, and foundation construction.
• Experience with brownfield projects, field investigations, and modifications to existing operating facilities is preferred.
• Strong attention to detail, spatial awareness, organizational skills, and design-documentation accuracy.
• Ability to recognize design conflicts and coordinate effectively with engineers and other design disciplines.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently while also collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary project team.
