About The Position

The Sr. Designer EIC develops process and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), piping plan and section diagrams, general arrangements, isometrics, and other complex engineering drawings in 2-D or 3-D environments. The role checks drawings for accuracy, including dimensions, spelling, drafting standards, completeness, and alignment with project design criteria. Occasional field walkdowns may be required to obtain measurements, verify as-built documentation, and prepare field sketches supporting plant modifications and design installations. The position requires independent judgment to develop designs with minimal direction from a Design Supervisor, Design Lead, or Engineering, while supporting multiple projects concurrently. The designer communicates with project engineers and other disciplines to develop drawings and resolve discrepancies, interfaces with customers and construction representatives to integrate designs with customer standards, and oversees multidisciplinary design projects.
