About the role
This role sits at the intersection of design, construction, and reality. You'll own the 3D modeling and layout of equipment, utilities, and tool hook-ups across the facility, ensuring what gets designed can actually be built, installed, and operated without surprises.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain 3D models for tool hook-up and plant systems using SolidWorks, Plant 3D, Revit, or similar tools.
- Coordinate with tool vendors, EPC partners, construction, and operations teams to align layouts and integrations.
- Run clash detection and optimize layouts for constructibility and install efficiency.
- Review and validate models and drawings for real-world accuracy, not just theoretical correctness.
- Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and risks early and fix them before they become field issues.
- Support construction and commissioning teams by troubleshooting model-related challenges on the floor.
Qualifications
- Strong hands-on experience in 3D modeling within industrial or manufacturing environments.
- Proficiency in SolidWorks, Plant 3D, Revit, or similar tools.
- Experience working with point cloud data and 3D laser scanning (LiDAR).
- Background in equipment layout, tool hook-up, or plant integration preferred.
- Experience working with EPC firms, tool vendors, or large-scale capital projects is a plus.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering preferred, not required.
Skills
- Detail-oriented but fast; you don't get stuck polishing models while the field moves on.
- Proactive and you catch problems before they become expensive.
- You take ownership and don't wait to be told what's broken.
