Job description

Onshore Civil & Structural Designer

Summary Section

We are seeking a skilled Onshore Civil & Structural Designer with strong experience in 3D modelling and preparation of FEED and detailed engineering drawings for onshore facilities. The role involves developing structural models and drawings for pipe racks, equipment and foundation layouts, shelter structures, modular units, pile and shallow foundations, and tank base structures using modelling and drawing tools. The candidate will work closely with all discipline engineering teams to produce accurate 3D models and construction drawings using E3D or Smart 3D (S3D), Microstation and AutoCAD, ensuring compliance with project specifications, design standards, and constructability requirements throughout FEED and Detailed Engineering project stages.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain 3D structural models for onshore industrial facilities including pipe racks, technological structures, shelters, platforms, and modular structures using E3D or Smart 3D (S3D).
• Prepare detailed civil and structural drawings such as foundation layouts, equipment foundations, pile layouts, tank foundations, structural framing plans, sections, and details using AutoCAD and Microstation.
• Model and detail various foundation systems including shallow foundations, pile-supported foundations, machine foundations, and equipment support structures based on engineering inputs.
• Coordinate with civil & structural engineers, piping, mechanical, electrical, and layout disciplines to ensure proper integration of structural models within the plant layout.
• Extract GA drawings, fabrication drawings, MTOs (Material Take-Offs), and construction deliverables from 3D models.
• Perform model reviews and clash detection activities to ensure constructability and interdisciplinary coordination.
• Incorporate vendor data, equipment loads, and interface requirements into structural layouts and foundation drawings.
• Update models and drawings based on engineering comments, site survey inputs, and project revisions during FEED and Detailed Engineering phases.
• Ensure compliance with project standards, company procedures, and applicable industry codes during modelling and drafting activities.
• Provide design and drafting support during construction, fabrication, and project execution stages as required.

Qualifications

• Diploma in Civil Engineering or above.
• Minimum 10 20 years of experience in civil and structural modelling and drafting for onshore oil & gas, renewable energy projects.
