• Update and maintain P&IDs based on engineering inputs.
• Support yard piping layouts and preliminary pipeline profile drawings.


2. Piping Design & Material Coordination
• Model piping systems using multiple materials (PVC, HDPE, SS, DI).
• Apply correct valve types, fittings, pressure classes, and line annotations.
• Identify routing issues and propose solutions to senior designers or engineers.
• Incorporate standard details into drawings to ensure constructability.


3. Instrumentation & Discipline Integration
• Place and annotate instrumentation devices per P&IDs and engineering directives.
• Coordinate with I&E designers to ensure accurate cable routing and panel interfaces.
• Generate accurate tag lists and instrument location plans.


4. Drawing Quality, Checking & Coordination
• Perform intermediate-level self-checks for completeness, accuracy, and clarity.
• Ensure adherence to CWCO CAD standards, templates, and naming conventions.
• Coordinate regularly with process, mechanical, electrical, and civil disciplines.
• Support field teams with drawing clarifications and minor as-built updates.


5. Project Support
• Support senior designers and engineers with model reviews, clash checks, and design coordination meetings.
• Mentor and support CAD Designer I staff in drafting fundamentals and standards compliance.
• Track drawing revisions, ensure completeness of drawing packages, and assist with transmittals.


Required:

• 3-5 years of CAD design experience (preferably water, wastewater, or industrial).
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Plant 3D including equipment modeling, piping, and orthographic creation.
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, general arrangements, and piping plans.
• Strong understanding of piping materials and basic instrumentation devices.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to work with minimal supervision.

Preferred:

• Experience with yard piping layouts and pipeline profiles.
