  • Ensure designs meet applicable codes and standards.
  • Provide positive working relationships with cross-functional teams to ensure project deadlines are met.
  • Generate P&IDs and process flow diagrams (PFDs).
  • 3D modeling of process equipment, instrumentation, and piping.
  • Direct involvement with customers for design reviews (typically in Navisworks).
  • Work with engineering team to help model processes with the end deliverable being a complete mechanical bid package for construction.
