3D Designer

Responsibilities

• Create innovative 3D models and detailed design drawings for facility layouts, system modifications, and new equipment development.
• Prepare P&IDs, PFDs, HVAC layouts, CE&I diagrams, and multi-discipline model integrations.
• Design and document complex piping systems, including isometrics, P&IDs, single-line diagrams, and support drawings.
• Support engineering teams in the design of FOAK nuclear and industrial equipment, gloveboxes, hot cells, shielded enclosures, and remotely operated mechanical systems.
• Collaborate closely with engineers to interpret concepts, solve design challenges, and refine system layouts across mechanical, civil, electrical, I&C, and process disciplines.
• Contribute to facility and process upgrades that improve operations, enhance safety, and support DOE cleanup and SMR program needs.
• Perform thorough self-checks of drawings and 3D models to identify potential issues early and ensure accuracy and quality.
• Review and provide feedback on drawings produced by peers; mentor junior drafters/designers as needed.
• Maintain red-line documents (ECNs, FCNs, etc.) and ensure compliance with internal and client design standards.
• Balance creative problem solving with adherence to safety requirements, engineering principles, and DOE/NRC design criteria.
• Meet schedule objectives and support project execution with reliable design deliverables.

Qualifications

• Associate’s Degree with 6+ years of experience, OR High school diploma with 10+ years of experience, OR Bachelor’s Degree with 2+ years of design experience.
• Advanced proficiency with at least one 3D CAD platform (SolidWorks, Inventor, CREO, Revit, SmartPlant 3D, Plant3D, etc.).
• Strong experience in AutoCAD or MicroStation.
• A passion for creative mechanical, piping, equipment, or facility design—especially for complex or FOAK systems.
• Familiarity with glovebox design, piping system layout, industrial equipment modeling, or nuclear/process facilities (preferred, not required).
• Understanding of engineering discipline practices and the ability to coordinate design work across other disciplines.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
• Knowledge of applicable design codes, standards, and criteria.
• Ability to learn new design tools and adapt to evolving project needs.
