Job Summary

In this role, the PD&P; designer will be responsible for developing and coordinating multidisciplinary 3D plant models, equipment arrangements / layouts in accordance with project requirements and instructions provided by the Engineering Group Supervisor (EGS).



The position requires a strong background in plant layout design, including equipment arrangement and layout development, with demonstrated proficiency in 3D plant modeling software, preferably Smart 3D (S3D).
The designer will collaborate closely with other designers and engineers to ensure design integrity, interdisciplinary coordination, constructability, maintainability, and operability, while ensuring compliance with project specifications, applicable codes and standards, and established design criteria.
The position requires the ability to independently execute assigned design activities with minimal supervision, exercise sound technical judgment within the scope of the discipline and provide technical support to other designers as required. The level of responsibility, complexity of assignments, and degree of autonomy will be consistent with the designer's grade, experience, and demonstrated capabilities.

Major Responsibilities

- Developing and maintaining 3D models, equipment layouts, plant arrangements preferably using Smart 3D (S3D).
- Preparing drawings/documents such as General Arrangements and Section/Elevations drawings.
- Extracting, preparing, and updating 2D drawings from the 3D model, sections, orthographic drawings.
- Assisting with coordination of the 3D model activities, i.e., input, interference reconciliation, etc. with other physical related disciplines.




- Coordinating and interfacing as directed with the day-to-day technical work of PD&P; engineers & designers
- Participating in design reviews within PD&P; design team/or client team.
- Ensuring PD&P; systems design comply with all applicable installation codes, and standards.
- Organizing and executing assigned tasks to meet project schedules, quality requirements, and established deliverable milestones.
- Identifying potential design issues and communicate them promptly to the supervisor or responsible engineer for resolution.

Education and Experience Requirements

- Requires technical education or a diploma in Mechanical Design, Industrial Design, Piping Design, or a related technical discipline is preferred. Equivalent relevant education, training, and practical experience may be considered.

Grade 25

- Typically 8-12 years of relevant experience in plant design and piping layout for industrial, mining, mineral processing, or other process facilities. Experience in 3D plant modeling, preferably using Smart 3D (S3D)

Grade 26

- Typically 12+ years of relevant experience in plant design and piping layout for industrial, mining, mineral processing, or other process facilities. Demonstrated proficiency in 3D plant modeling, preferably using Smart 3D (S3D).

Required Knowledge and Skills

- Proficiency using 3D layout / Piping design modules, preferably S3D.
- Proficiency in generating plant layout deliverables from 3D models, including orthographic drawings, general arrangement and model-based design documentation.
- Proficiency using 2D drafting tools for the development of plant layout deliverables
