You will ensure that all drawings adhere to industry standards, regulatory requirements, and facility safety guidelines.

Responsibilities:

• Technical Drafting: Develop 2D and 3D CAD drawings for facility infrastructure, equipment layouts, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and electrical schematics.
• Design Support: Assist mechanical, civil, and electrical engineers in the preparation of technical drawings for modifications, maintenance, and new installations.
• BIM & 3D Modeling: Utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) techniques to optimize design accuracy and efficiency when applicable.
• Collaborate with engineers, architects, and project managers to translate design concepts into technical drawings and models.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, codes, company procedures, and facility-specific design criteria in all drafting and modeling tasks.
• Drawing Revisions & Updates: Ensure proper design control, revision control, and configuration management of drawing sets. 
• Document Management: Maintain and update engineering drawings to reflect as-built conditions and document facility modifications. Organize and maintain drawing files, including revisions, approvals, and historical records in compliance with document control procedures.
• Stay updated on the latest CAD and BIM tools, trends, and best practices to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
• Field Verification: Conduct site visits to verify existing conditions, take measurements, and ensure designs align with facility needs.

Basic Qualifications:

• Associate’s degree in Drafting, Architecture, Engineering, or a related field. Relevant competence and experience may be considered as an alternative to this requirement.
• Experience with structural drafting and modeling for an industrial, manufacturing, process facility (or similar) using Revit, AutoCAD, or other software.
• Strong understanding of industrial facility design and construction documentation processes.
• Ability to complete and manage drawing sets for large and/or complex systems.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc.)
• Experience in a fast-paced engineering environment or a highly technical role requiring a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to complete tasks within tight timeframes or budget constraints.
• Experience with nuclear facility regulations and construction.
• Familiarity with BIM standards and workflows (e.g., IFC, COBie) is highly desirable.
• Knowledge of applicable regulations, design specifications, codes, and standards.

Additional Requirements:

• Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
