CAD Designer

Needed Immediately: CAD Designer in Fort Pierce, FL. The CAD Designer II is a mid-level drafting and modeling role responsible for developing coordinated 3D plant models, preparing detailed engineering drawings, and supporting multidisciplinary design tasks. This role requires a solid understanding of AutoCAD Plant 3D, P&IDs, piping layouts, and drafting standards. The CAD Designer II works more independently, supports design decisions, and provides guidance to Level I designers. 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. Exposure to Navisworks or similar coordination tools. Experience supporting fabrication, construction, or field installation teams. Job Details: 1. 3D Plant Modeling & Design Development · Develop and maintain AutoCAD Plant 3D models for equipment, piping, and general facility layouts. · Generate 2D construction drawings—plans, sections, isometrics—derived from 3D models. · 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.
