Job description

• Plan/perform 3D-modeling using S3D for Mechanical, Safety, Soft Volumes, Escape & Transport Routes, Access and Material Handling Routes, Equipment modelling, Package modelling with required TP points, Piping and Pipe supports
• Familiar with Off-shore facilities – Platforms and FPSO layout design, Material handling, Piping/Pipe support design, safety requirements, conduct 3D Model reviews as per the project requirements
• Effectively manage Design changes and provide appropriate solutions as and when needed during the project execution
• Coordinate with other discipline design teams to achieve optimal use of the 3D modelling space and minimise last minute changes to the design
• Liaise closely with the pipe stress team to acquire inputs for finalising the pipe routing and pipe support locations and types
• Vendor drawing review for the static Equipment’s/Rotating Equipment’s/ Packages and ensure all the Nozzle orientations, Vessel cleats support requirements are in line with Design Requirements
• Perform and check the Model object clashes on regular basis and collaborate with other disciplines for effective cleaning of the 3D Model to make it clash free before the construction
• Assist Lead Engineer for the quality plan for layout/piping design, preparing plan and schedule, estimate, progress measurement, contribute for the technical presentations and write ups
