Responsible for creating detailed 3D piping layouts and drawings for supported and underground water-system piping. Uses S3D as the primary tool for modeling, routing, and producing fabrication-ready deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create 3D models of piping systems using Intergraph Smart 3D (S3D).
  • Develop piping layouts, isometrics, support details, and general arrangement drawings.
  • Ensure design complies with engineering specifications, safety requirements, and constructability standards.
  • Coordinate pipe routing with civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical design teams.
  • Implement engineering comments and design changes into the 3D model.
  • Generate material take-offs (MTOs) and support procurement documentation.
  • Identify interferences and resolve clashes within the model (clash detection).

Qualifications

  • Technical diploma or relevant experience in piping drafting/design.
  • Mandatory: Hands-on proficiency in S3D.
  • Experience designing heavy industrial piping systems (preferably upstream O&G).
  • Strong understanding of fabrication and construction best practices.
