Designer III

The Designer III is responsible for working closely with an engineer and preparing complex, detailed 3D

CAD models and 2D fabrication drawings for the manufacture of surface production equipment such as

pipe racks, horizontal separators, heater treaters, filters, process piping assemblies, and equipment

skids. Create P&IDs including line numbers, equipment and instrument tags, etc.

Responsibilities

Create 3D solid models of equipment using pipe, rolled plate, nozzles, formed heads, wide flange

beam, flat bar, round stock, etc. AutoCAD 3D.

 Generate 2D fabrication drawings from 3D solid models. AutoCAD 3D.

 MUST be proficient in Plant 3D and Plant P&ID.

 Ensure dimensional accuracy of fabricated items.

 Support shop personnel as needed and resolve assembly/fabrication issues.

 Develop and upload bills of material.

 Ensure commodity items purchased for inclusion in standalone or skidded equipment are properly

represented and dimensionally accurate for assembly.

 Update drawings as appropriate during engineering and fabrication/assembly process as

required.

 Update existing drawings to reflect necessary changes or standardized drawing format.

 Coordinate with and consult with upstream and downstream stakeholders to design, lay

out, or detail components to avoid supply chain, design, and fabrication issues.

 Review and analyze proposals, specifications, sketches, and “go-bys” to assess factors affecting

component designs.

 Lay out, draw, and reproduce illustrations for reference manuals and technical publications that

describe operational maintenance on various components and/or machinery.

 Utilize COMPRESS for vessel code calculations and extract data for vessel designs.

 Perform cost analysis with an effort to reduce material and labor costs in the fabrication of

equipment.

 Model OEM components when OEM 3D models are not available.

 Managed CAD part number and specification databases.

 Interpret structural analysis reports and implement them appropriately in design.

 Utilize parametric design to minimize design modifications.

 Interface with manufacturing personnel to improve shop efficiency through smart design

principles.

 Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

Education & Experience

 3-5 years’ AutoCAD 3D experience required.

 Associate degree (AA) or equivalent from two-year college or technical school related to the field

of Engineering.

 2-3 years’ related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and

experience.

 Experience with oil and gas surface production equipment is preferred.

technical/science procedures, or governmental regulations.

 Ability to effectively present information and respond to questions from groups of managers,

clients, customers, and the general public.

 Ability to define problems, collect data, establish facts, and draw valid conclusions. Ability to

interpret an extensive variety of technical/scientific instructions in mathematical or diagram form

and deal with several abstract and concrete variables.

 Ability to operate in a rapidly changing design environment with tight deadlines.

Computer Skills

 Experience with MS Office suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) required.

 Experience with 3D CAD software as defined above MUST be proficient in Plant 3D and

Plant P&ID.

Physical Requirements

be able to climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch or crawl occasionally.

 Close vision (clear vision at 20 inches or less), color vision (ability to identify and distinguish

colors) and depth perception (three-dimensional vision, ability to judge distances and spatial

relationships) and ability to adjust focus (ability to adjust eyes to bring an object into sharp

focus).

 Light physical activity performing non-strenuous daily activities of a production/technical nature.

 Exerting up to 25 pounds of force occasionally to lift, carry, pull, or otherwise move objects.

 Manual dexterity sufficient to reach/handle items and work with the fingers.

 Regular work schedule: Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
