About The Position

Are you a skilled 3D Drafting Designer who loves turning complex engineering concepts into precise, buildable designs? This is your chance to play a key role in designing CO2 liquefaction and LNG processing plants—projects that directly support the transition to cleaner, more efficient energy systems.

Requirements

Proficiency with AutoCAD Plant 3D (P3D) – 3D modeling experience is required.
Experience using Autodesk Advance Steel is required.
Associate degree in Drafting & Design preferred; equivalent experience (3+ years) accepted.
Minimum 5 years of relevant drafting/design experience is strongly preferred.
Ability to read and interpret Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) is essential.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with AutoCAD Plant 3D Spec Editor and P&ID program is a plus.
Experience in cryogenic systems and gas process plants is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

Design and produce comprehensive plant layout drawings for LCO2 and LNG facilities.
Create detailed 3D equipment models, including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and rotating machinery.
Develop 3D piping models for process and utility systems such as CO2, NH3, water, oil, glycol, amine, refrigerants, nitrogen, and air—using in-house piping specifications based on ASME B31.1, B31.3, and B16.5 codes.
Produce structural steel 3D models for supporting skidded and fixed equipment.
Prepare equipment, structural, and piping detail drawings, including general arrangement (GA) and foundation details for fabrication and field installation.
Generate Bills of Materials (BOMs) and piping isometric drawings for shop and site use.
Lead model review meetings with internal teams and external clients, document meeting minutes, and track action items.
Monitor progress against project schedules and provide weekly status updates.
Review and coordinate vendor drawings and in-house redlines to ensure compliance with project standards and design intent.
Collaborate closely with piping engineers and other disciplines to resolve design issues, non-conformances, and change orders efficiently.
Verify that delivered vendor equipment matches the issued-for-construction (IFC) drawings and aligns with the 3D model and construction documentation.
