Specific Accountabilities:

• Develop, update, and maintain engineering drawings across mechanical, piping, electrical, and instrumentation disciplines
• Translate engineering concepts, project deliverables, and field redlines into accurate CAD drawings
• Review and incorporate site markups, photos, and as-built information into final deliverables
• Ensure all drawings comply with Enbridge drafting standards (DS 001, DS 002, DS 003) and applicable industry practices
• Support preparation of Issued for Construction (IFC) and As-Built drawing packages
• Collaborate with engineers, project managers, field teams, and external service providers to ensure alignment
• Maintain drawing control, revision history, and documentation throughout the project lifecycle
• Support multi-project delivery in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

Scope/Dimensions

• Works across a broad range of drawing types supporting pipeline and facility projects

Contacts/Working Relationships

• Engineering Drawings team (daily coordination and delivery alignment)
• Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance teams (clarification of design intent and field conditions)
• Asset Information Management, PSI, and Engineering Records (standards compliance and data integrity)
• External EPCs, vendors, and drafting service providers (project execution and deliverables)

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

Required:

• Minimum 5 years of drafting experience in the oil and gas industry
• Demonstrated experience working across multiple engineering disciplines (mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation)
• Strong proficiency in AutoCAD (additional tools such as Revit considered an asset)
• Experience developing and updating P&IDs, plot plans, facility layouts, and equipment drawings
• Ability to interpret field redlines, site photos, and project documentation
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities

• Familiarity with pipeline and facility operations
• Knowledge of instrumentation, control systems, and tagging conventions

Must-have / preferred qualifications:

• 5 years of relevant experience
• Strong AutoCAD experience
• Civil or structural design experience — either discipline is acceptable
• Civil 3D experience is highly preferred
• Ability to interpret redlines and turn them into completed drawings
• Experience leading design efforts within their discipline is a strong differentiator
• Knowledge of applicable local regulatory requirements
• Experience with Enbridge standards, tools or processes is preferred, but not required
• Oil & gas/pipeline experience is preferred, but candidates from other industries can be considered
• P&IDs and plot plan experience is helpful but not required
• No PE license required
• No specific education requirement if the candidate has the appropriate experience
