Job Description

Join a multidisciplinary Project Delivery Group that supports complex heavy industrial, mining, metals and infrastructure projects across Canada and the U.S. In this role, you will collaborate with engineering and design teams to develop 3D models, equipment layouts, piping layouts and general arrangement drawings through all stages of project delivery. You will gain exposure to large-scale EPC/EPCM projects and work closely with mechanical, piping, structural, civil and other engineering disciplines, contributing to high-profile industrial facilities and process areas.

Responsibilities

• Develop and update 3D models and 2D drawings for mechanical equipment, piping layouts and general arrangements for heavy industrial and mining facilities.
• Produce detailed designs and layouts for industrial facilities, equipment and process areas in alignment with project requirements and standards.
• Incorporate vendor drawings, equipment information and technical data into the design model, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
• Maintain and update equipment check sheets, revising models and drawings as vendor information and specifications change.
• Perform clash detection and multidisciplinary model coordination to identify and resolve interferences between mechanical, piping, structural, civil and other systems.
• Participate in 3D model reviews, operability reviews, maintainability reviews and design walkthroughs to improve constructability, safety and quality.
• Coordinate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure designs meet project, layout and interface requirements.
• Work independently on assigned design tasks while collaborating with designers, engineers and project teams for guidance and alignment.
• Support other offices and project sites as required, including occasional travel to remote locations to assist with project delivery.
• Contribute to a strong safety culture by embedding safety, design quality and constructability considerations into all design work.
• Assist in the use and improvement of design tools and workflows within Bentley MicroStation, AutoPlant and related 2D/3D design environments.

Essential Skills

• 35 years of relevant design and layout experience for junior-level roles, 510 years for intermediate-level roles, and 10+ years for experienced-level roles.
• Proven experience in heavy industrial design and plant layout, ideally within an EPC/EPCM project environment.
• Diploma or certification in Engineering Design and Drafting or a related discipline.
• Hands-on mechanical design experience, including the development of piping, equipment and mechanical layouts.
• Proficiency with Bentley software, specifically MicroStation or AutoPlant, for 2D and 3D design work.
• Experience producing both 2D drawings and 3D models for industrial projects.
• Mining project experience, particularly within large, complex industrial facilities.
• Strong understanding of multidisciplinary model coordination and clash detection processes.
• Demonstrated commitment to safety, design quality and constructability in all project deliverables.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with OpenPlant P&ID and/or Design Review software is considered an asset.
• Exposure to large-scale EPC/EPCM programs involving mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, piping, geotechnical, controls, project engineering and project controls teams.
• Ability to work effectively in a shared delivery group, supporting multiple projects and locations.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills for working with multidisciplinary engineering and project teams.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while managing priorities across multiple tasks and projects.
• Interest in building a long-term portfolio of complex, high-profile industrial and infrastructure projects.
