Introduction
About this role
We are seeking a detail-oriented and skilled Piping & Mechanical Draftsperson with 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience in industrial plant engineering, piping design, and tank fabrication drafting. The ideal candidate will be highly proficient in AutoCAD 2D, conversant with applicable industry codes (including OISD standards), and capable of translating engineering concepts into accurate construction and fabrication drawings. This role involves active site involvement, site verification, and technical communication with project teams across India.
Key Responsibilities:
- Piping & Process Drafting: Prepare and update Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), General Arrangement Drawings (GADs), piping layouts, plot plans, and isometric drawings with complete detail.
- Tank Fabrication Drawings: Develop detailed fabrication, assembly, and shop drawings for storage tanks, pressure vessels, and structural supports.
- Bill of Materials (BOM): Generate complete, accurate Bill of Materials (BOM) / Material Take-Offs (MTO) for piping, fittings, valves, insulation, and tank components.
- Site Verification & Field Drafting: Conduct frequent site visits across India to carry out field measurements, tie-in point identification, site markups, as-built mapping, and technical site reviews.
- Standards Compliance: Ensure all drafting deliverables strictly adhere to project specifications, client standards, and industry safety guidelines (specifically OISD guidelines and relevant ASME/API codes).
- Interdisciplinary Coordination: Coordinate with mechanical, civil, structural, and process engineers to resolve design clashes and ensure seamless project execution.
Required Qualifications & Skills:
- Education: Bachelor's degree (B.E. / B. Tech) in Mechanical Engineering or Piping Engineering from a recognized university.
- Experience: 7 to 10 years of core piping engineering experience in Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals, Chemicals, or Refining projects.
