Responsibilities

• Develop, update, and maintain 2D/3D CAD layouts for plant equipment, utilities, and production lines.
• Review and verify machinery foundations, structural components, and installation requirements, applying strong knowledge of steel and concrete.
• Support equipment installation, alignment, and commissioning activities.
• Troubleshoot technical issues in the field and collaborate with vendors and contractors to resolve them quickly.
• Assist in defining project scope, technical requirements, and feasibility.
