• Evaluate customer-supplied data (3D CAD files, drawings, scopes of work, and quality documents) to extract requirements that impact designs and the end product for quoting and detailed engineering.
• Actively engage with external customers, project managers, and the commercial team to identify and discuss gaps between the defined scope of supply and customer requirements.
• Proactively identify customer-induced scope changes and elevate to the project manager or commercial lead for consideration.
• Develop P&IDs from scratch or by redlining existing drawings to communicate project requirements to Estimators and Drafting.
• Perform equipment sizing calculations using process simulation software (ProMax), in-house spreadsheets, and other tools.
• Review and approve all 3D models and drawings for assigned projects in accordance with company standard operating procedures.
• Perform process design calculations for control valves, pressure regulators, pressure safety valves, and pressure vacuum relief valves.
• Perform ASME pressure vessel code calculations using Codeware COMPRESS.
• Other duties as required and assigned.
