Job description

Key Responsibilities – E3D Administration

• Set up and configure new AVEVA E3D projects, including project creation, databases (DESIGN, CATALOGUE, PADD, DRAFT, PROPERTIES), MDBs, teams, users, and access rights.
• Administer E3D projects on a day-to-day basis, including user management, database management, claims and extract management, session control, merging, reconfiguration, and data integrity checks (DICE).
• Define and maintain project setup standards, including units, naming conventions, colour schemes, representation rules, auto-naming, and project defaults.
• Configure and manage Global/multi-site projects, including location setup, database allocation, propagation, and synchronisation between sites.
• Configure Draw/Draft administration, including drawing templates, title blocks, backing sheets, label and dimension styles, symbology, and annotation rules.
• Configure and maintain Isodraft settings, isometric option files, and symbol keys to produce isometrics that meet project and customer requirements.
• Develop and maintain reports, including bills of materials (MTO), line lists, equipment lists, and clash reports, and support data exchange with other applications (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Navisworks, AVEVA Review/Navigator).
• Develop PML macros, forms, and automation utilities to improve design productivity, enforce standards, and support model quality checks.
• Perform project backups, archiving and restoration, and coordinate with IT for licence management, software installation, upgrades, and patch deployment.
• Provide technical support, troubleshooting, and training to designers and engineers, and act as the primary point of contact for all E3D-related issues.

Key Responsibilities – Catalogue and Specification Creation

• Create, modify, and maintain piping catalogues in Paragon, including components, parameterised geometry sets (GMSETs), point sets (PTSETs), negative geometry, data sets, and component properties.
• Develop piping specifications in Spec Generator/Specon based on project Piping Material Specifications (PMS), including pipe classes, branch tables, bolting, gaskets, wall thicknesses, and selection tables.
• Create and maintain equipment, structural (steel sections, profiles, joints, fittings), cable tray, HVAC, and pipe support/hanger catalogues and specifications.
• Interpret vendor catalogues, dimensional standards (ASME/ANSI, DIN, EN, IS), and material specifications to build accurate catalogue components and material descriptions.
• Configure material descriptions, part numbers, commodity codes, and weight data to ensure accurate MTOs and isometric bills of materials.
• Validate catalogue and specification data through test modelling, isometric checks, and consistency checks before release to the project, and manage revisions under change control.
• Coordinate with piping, mechanical, and structural engineering teams to translate engineering specifications into E3D catalogues and specs, and maintain a reusable corporate catalogue library.

Required Qualifications

• Engineering diploma with 10+ years of experience, or graduate engineer with 8+ years of experience in mechanical engineering or a related discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of hands‑on experience as an AVEVA E3D (and/or PDMS) Administrator, including project setup and administration on live projects.
• Proven expertise in catalogue and specification creation using Paragon and Spec Generator/Specon for piping, equipment, structural, and support disciplines.
• Working knowledge of PML/PML.NET programming, Isodraft configuration, Draw/Draft administration, and AVEVA Global for multi-site projects.
• Sound understanding of piping material specifications and international codes and standards (ASME B31.1/B31.3, ASME B16 series, DIN, EN, IS).
• Experience in power, boiler, environmental, oil and gas, or process plant projects is preferred; exposure to AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Navisworks, AVEVA Engineering, or AVEVA Diagrams is an added advantage.
• Strong problem‑solving, communication, and training skills, with the ability to support multiple project teams and work closely with global stakeholders.
