Piping Designer, Lithium Refinery

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain high-quality 2D/3D drawings including P&IDs, piping and instrumentation diagrams, general arrangement (GA) layouts, piping isometrics, equipment detail drawings, and civil/structural plans using AutoCAD Plant 3D and CADWorx, for process piping circuits, autoclaves, calciners, pressure filters, crystallizers, slurry pumps, and solids handling systems
• Support the full lifecycle of small capital projects and site modifications by preparing as-built drawings, redline markups, and design packages that integrate with project engineering deliverables, ensuring alignment with first-principles engineering
• Execute Management of Change (MOC) drawing updates and Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR) documentation packages in accordance with the site PSM program (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119), maintaining version control and drawing accuracy for all process and mechanical modifications
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Project Engineers, Reliability Engineering, Process Safety, Maintenance, and Procurement teams to incorporate reliability enhancements, corrosion monitoring points, and predictive maintenance features into project designs
• Perform field verification and laser scanning support during outages and project execution to ensure drawings reflect actual plant conditions and resolve discrepancies in real time
• Manage the site’s intelligent P&ID database and drawing library using Plant 3D, applying standardized templates, layering conventions, and Tesla engineering standards to drive consistency, reduce errors, and accelerate project delivery
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design and drafting workflows, including automation scripts, BIM integration, and digital twin initiatives that support outage planning and small capital project efficiency

What You'll Bring

• Degree or technical certification in Engineering Technology, Drafting, CAD Design, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 8+ years of progressive drafting/design experience in chemical processing, hydrometallurgy, mineral processing, or heavy industrial facilities
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD Plant 3D (or equivalent 3D plant design software), with demonstrated ability to produce intelligent P&IDs, isometrics, and equipment models to ASME, API, and industry standards
• Working knowledge of PSM-regulated drawing practices, MOC/PSSR processes, and industrial codes (piping specifications, pressure vessel details, and safety instrumented systems)
• Proven ability to work independently in a fast-paced, commissioning-to-steady-state refinery environment while collaborating effectively with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver accurate, on-time design packages
