• Perform structural 3D modeling for:
• Structural steel frames
• Equipment support structures
• Access platforms, ladders, and stairs
• Module support frames and foundations (as applicable)
• Generate structural drawings including:
• General arrangement drawings
• Steel framing layouts
• Connection and detailing drawings
• Material takes-offs
• Coordinate closely with piping, equipment, electrical, and civil teams to resolve clashes and ensure proper clearances, access, and constructability
• Support module‑based design, including transport, lifting, and erection considerations
• Participate in model reviews (30%, 60%, 90%) and support clash detection and resolution
• Ensure structural models comply with:
• Project specifications
• Applicable codes and standards (AICS, AWS, and IBC)
• Maintain accurate model data and incorporate engineering changes in a timely manner
• Support fabrication and construction needs by providing clear, accurate, and constructible models and drawings
• Deliver design outputs in accordance with project schedules and milestones

Other duties and responsibilities:

• Support continuous improvement of structural modeling workflows, Tekla templates, and SmartPLANT 3D integration
• Assist in development and enforcement of structural modeling standards and best practices
• Collaborate with global and regional engineering teams, including external partners and vendors
