Job description

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.

Material Take‑Offs (MTO) & Procurement Support

• 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
