Job description

PadinkEngineering Services is a start-up providing detailed engineering & software application development and as a part of engineering, we do manpower support to our various clients across pan India to meet their project timeline and goals.

Our focus is to provide Contemporary and Cost-Efficient services with core competence and Technical Expertise

Job Description

3D Modeling & Layout Design:

Develop intelligent 3D piping models using AutoCAD Plant 3D for various mineral processing units (e.g., crushing/grinding, flotation, thickeners, tailings disposal, slurry handling, and water treatment systems).

Design equipment layouts, plot plans, and routing configurations keeping constructability, operability, and maintainability in mind.

Drawing Production:

Extract and generate accurate Piping General Arrangement (GA) drawings, sections, details, and construction-ready piping isometric drawings.

Create and maintain standard piping specifications, support standards, and component catalogs within Plant 3D.

Inter-Disciplinary Coordination:

Interpret Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and translate them accurately into physical piping layouts.

Coordinate closely with structural, civil, electrical, and mechanical teams to ensure clash-free designs using Navisworks or Plant 3D clash detection tools.

Coordinate with pipe stress engineers to integrate anchor, guide, and spring support requirements into the layout.

Extract reliable material take-offs (MTOs) for pipes, fittings, valves, and supports directly from the Plant 3D model for procurement and estimation purposes.

Quality & Compliance:

Ensure all designs adhere to relevant international codes and standards (e.g., ASME B31.1 / B31.3) as well as client-specific engineering standards.

Participate in model review meetings (30%, 60%, 90% model reviews) and resolve audit comments systematically.

Requirements

Experience Required: 3 to 8 Years

Industry: Metals & Mining / Minerals Processing / EPC

Software Proficiency: AutoCAD Plant 3D (Mandatory), Navisworks / AutoCAD

Qualification: Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering / Chemical Engineering
