Responsibilities

• Develop, revise, and maintain PIDs using AutoCAD at an expert level for packaged and skid-mounted water treatment systems, supporting both proposal and project execution phases.
• Prepare PIDs for various treatment systems, including pre-treatment (MMF, softeners, UF, clarifiers), membrane processes (RO/NF), polishing units (DI, UV), and CIP systems, ensuring accurate reflection of process and piping requirements.
• Apply solid knowledge of process engineering fundamentals and basic hydraulics to correctly illustrate flow paths, isolation, drain/vent provisions, and operational functionality.
• Integrate equipment, valve, and instrumentation selections provided during initial project stages into PIDs, ensuring accurate tagging, representation, and application.
• Develop and maintain instrumentation and control-related details on PIDs in accordance with ISA 5.1 standards, including control loops, interlocks, and safety functions.
• Collaborate closely with Applications Engineering, mechanical/piping, electrical, and controls teams to ensure alignment and consistency across multidisciplinary project deliverables.
• Create and manage metadata for design documents and CAD files in the PDM/PLM system (Vault Pro) for proper documentation, control, and retrieval.
• Uphold high standards of drawing quality, organization, and revision control, ensuring all updates are accurately captured and aligned with project scope and phase.
• Take ownership of assigned PIDs by proactively identifying errors, missing information, or constructability concerns and communicating them to the project team.

Academic and Professional Requirements

• BE/B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or Chemical Engineering with First Class.
• 4-7 years of hands-on experience in AutoCAD and the water treatment industry, including 2-3 years in leading design projects.
• Experience in detailed engineering of skid-based water treatment systems such as UF, RO, DI, CIP, UV, and softeners, or wastewater treatment systems such as MBBR, anaerobic systems, and clarifiers.
• Preferred experience in interconnecting piping, piping standards, material specifications, and codes relevant to water and wastewater treatment.
• Proficiency in MS Office tools for preparing technical documents, Excel sheets, and presentations.
• Experience collaborating with international engineering teams is an added advantage.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to coordinate with global teams; self-driven, proactive, analytical, and capable of effective problem solving.
