PD&P Designer – 3D Piping & Layout Engineer

About the role

Bechtel is seeking a PD&P Designer to develop and maintain 3D piping models for industrial and mining projects. The role involves creating detailed piping layouts that meet project specifications, codes, and industry best practices while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.

Key responsibilities

• Develop detailed 3D piping models and plant layouts using S3D or equivalent 3D design tools.
• Create and optimise equipment, piping, and plant layouts for safety, operability, maintainability and constructability.
• Route piping systems considering process requirements, stress, accessibility, maintenance clearances and safety.
• Verify equipment access, maintenance envelopes, lifting requirements and constructability.
• Generate accurate 2D orthographic drawings, isometric drawings and other deliverables directly from the 3D model.

Required profile

• Strong background in piping and layout design for industrial or mining projects.
• Experience working with multidisciplinary teams (process, mechanical, civil/structural, electrical, instrumentation).
• Ability to work with minimal supervision and deliver high‑quality technical documentation.

Required skills

• S3D (or comparable 3D plant modeling software).
• Proficiency in 3D design tools for piping and plant layout.
• Knowledge of piping layout design principles, equipment interfaces, supports, accessibility, operability, maintainability and constructability.
• Ability to produce 2D orthographic drawings and piping isometrics from 3D models.
