Responsibilities
* Creation, maintenance, and further development of P&IDs for industrial and process plants
* Creation, maintenance, and further development of 3D plant models for industrial and process plants
* Development of plant layouts, equipment arrangements, and piping routes, taking into account accessibility, installability, maintenance, and operation
* Modeling of equipment, piping, pipe supports, and layout-relevant structural and steelwork elements
* Derivation and review of technical documentation, including plot plans, general arrangements, piping layouts, equipment layouts, isometrics, MTOs/BOMs, and support documentation
* Execution of model reviews, clash checks, and consistency checks, as well as structured tracking of open items
* Technical coordination with Process, Mechanical, Civil/Structural, E&I, project management, suppliers, and installation and site teams
* Review and integration of vendor documentation into the 3D model and planning documentation
* Evaluation of technical trade-offs, identification of solution options, and clear documentation of decisions
* Ensuring compliance with project requirements, customer specifications, internal standards, QA requirements, HSE requirements, and relevant standards and codes
* Active contribution to standards, work methods, knowledge development, and best practices in plant design
* Future perspective: assuming technical coordination responsibilities in plant design, including prioritization, task allocation, quality assurance, and knowledge transfer within the team
Qualifications
* Technical education, such as HTL, FH, TU, Kolleg, or a comparable qualification in mechanical engineering, plant engineering, process engineering, piping design, or mechanical design
* Several years of experience in plant layout design, piping design, or 3D plant design
