ABOUT THE ROLE

If your skills, experience, and qualifications match those in this job overview, do not delay your application.

We're seeking a Senior 3D CAD Designer to join a highly specialized engineering team designing custom modular process systems for industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and energy.

This is a hands-on design role where you'll own the full 3D modeling lifecycle—from concept through fabrication—working closely with engineers to bring complex process systems to life. If you enjoy building real-world systems (not just drawings) and want to see your designs manufactured and implemented, this is a strong fit.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Lead 3D modeling and design of complete process systems (equipment, piping, structural steel, instrumentation)
• Partner with Process/Project Engineers to develop:

P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams)

PFDs (Process Flow Diagrams)

• Build detailed system models using:

AutoCAD Plant 3D

Autodesk Advance Steel

• Design modular/skid-mounted systems of varying scale and complexity
• Generate:

Fabrication drawings (steel layouts, piping isometrics, orthographics)

Bills of Materials (BOMs) for procurement and manufacturing

• Collaborate with fabrication teams to:
• Troubleshoot design issues
• Implement real-time changes during build
• Develop as-built models and documentation post-fabrication
• Support CAD standards, templates, and system libraries

WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THIS ROLE

• 10+ years of 3D CAD design experience in process, piping, or industrial systems
• Strong expertise in:
• AutoCAD Plant 3D (required)
• 3D piping design (must-have)
• Experience designing: xywuqvp

Process equipment layouts

Utility & process piping systems

• Ability to interpret and work from:

Equipment specs

Instrumentation data

Engineering diagrams

• Strong collaboration skills with engineers, vendors, and fabrication teams
• Experience with Autodesk Advance Steel
• Familiarity with pipe stress analysis tools (e.g., Caesar II)
• Exposure to Smart P&IDs
• Background in chemical/process industries preferred
