Structural Designer-Process/Power

About the Role:

The Structural Designer-Process plays a critical role in supporting engineering and construction projects within oil and gas industries. This position is responsible for creating detailed structural drawings and plans that ensure the safe and efficient design of process and power facilities. The designer collaborates closely with engineers, project managers, and field personnel to translate conceptual designs into precise technical documentation. Accuracy and adherence to industry standards are paramount, as these drawings guide the fabrication, installation, and maintenance of structural components. Ultimately, this role contributes to the successful execution of projects by providing clear, comprehensive, and compliant structural documentation.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Associate degree or technical diploma in Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related field.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Plant 3D or CADWorx or equivalent CAD software with a focus on structural drafting.
• Experience in drafting structural components for process or power facilities, preferably within oil and gas sectors.
• Strong understanding of structural engineering principles and relevant industry codes and standards.
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to produce precise technical drawings.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Certification as a Certified Designer (CD) or similar professional credential.
• Experience with 3D modeling software such as AUTOCAD Plant 3D or CADWorks.
• Knowledge of welding symbols, fabrication processes, and material specifications.
• Previous experience working on industrial or energy projects (5 to 10 years).

Responsibilities:

• Develop and produce detailed structural drawings and plans for process and power facilities using CAD software.
• Interpret engineering specifications, sketches, and calculations to create accurate and compliant structural documentation.
• Collaborate with engineers and project teams to ensure drawings meet project requirements and industry standards.
• Review and revise drawings based on feedback from engineering and construction teams to maintain accuracy and completeness.
• Maintain organized documentation and version control for all structural drawings and related project files.
• Assist in the preparation of material lists and support procurement activities by providing detailed structural information.
• Ensure compliance with safety regulations, codes, and company standards throughout the drafting process.

Skills:

The required skills enable the Structural Designer to accurately convert engineering concepts into detailed structural drawings that are essential for project execution. Proficiency in CAD software is used daily to create, modify, and finalize drawings that comply with technical and safety standards. Strong communication skills facilitate effective collaboration with engineers and project teams to clarify design intent and incorporate feedback. Attention to detail ensures that all drawings are precise and free from errors, reducing the risk of costly rework during construction. Preferred skills such as 3D modeling and knowledge of fabrication processes enhance the designer's ability to produce comprehensive and versatile documentation that supports complex project requirements.
