• Create and develop layout drawings and detailed piping drawings.
• Produce piping isometrics to support fabrication and installation activities.
• Produce structural drawings and fabrication drawings for skids, pipe supports, and related structures.
• Receive and review design data and vendor information to ensure accurate incorporation into project designs.
• Calculate piping components and pre-order materials in alignment with project requirements and standards.
• Receive and incorporate design specifics from Engineering and other disciplines into piping and structural designs.
• Collaborate closely with Piping Checkers, Mechanical Engineering, and the Fabrication Shop to resolve design issues and optimize constructability.
• Provide weekly progress and status reports to the Lead Designer to support project tracking and scheduling.
• Assist design leads and sr. designers as required on project-related tasks and deliverables.
• Assist with and provide project-related training to junior personnel as required, contributing to team development.
• Support FEED studies and subsequent detailed design work, helping to ensure projects are completed on time and to a high standard.
