Key Responsibilities

• Prepare detailed civil and piping design drawings, including site layouts, grading plans, utility routing, and process piping systems.
• Utilize AutoCAD Civil 3D to model terrain, piping networks, and infrastructure elements with precision.
• Develop 3D piping layouts, plans, sections, and isometrics for process, water, and storm systems.
• Coordinate with structural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines to ensure design compatibility and constructability.
• Support the development of construction drawing packages, material take-offs, and design documentation.
• Review vendor drawings and equipment layouts to integrate into facility designs.
• Assist engineers with design revisions, as-built updates, and field markups.
• Participate in design review meetings and collaborate with construction and operations teams to address field conditions.
• Ensure all designs comply with company standards, local codes, and safety/environmental regulations.
• Maintain organized drawing files and support document control requirements.
