- Develop 2D and/or 3D design drawings for flare stacks, knock-out drums, piping, structural supports, access platforms, ladders, and related equipment.
- Prepare fabrication drawings, bills of materials, material take-offs, and drawing packages for shop and field use.
- Interpret client specifications, P&IDs, equipment data sheets, engineering sketches, and project requirements.
- Support the design of flare stack assemblies, including stack sections, base plates, guy wire systems, burner tips, pilots, ignition panels, and utility connections.
- Coordinate with engineers to ensure designs meet applicable industry codes, client standards, and project requirements.
- Review drawings for accuracy, constructability, fit-up, and fabrication feasibility.
- Revise drawings based on engineering comments, client feedback, shop input, or field redlines.
- Assist with equipment layouts, lifting plans, transportation considerations, and installation details.
- Maintain organized drawing files, revision history, and technical documentation.
- Communicate with project managers, engineers, vendors, fabricators, and field personnel to resolve technical questions.
- Support continuous improvement of design templates, drawing standards, and drafting procedures.

- Familiarity with industrial piping, structural supports, access platforms, ladders, and equipment layout.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to produce accurate, complete drawing packages.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet project deadlines.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work with engineering, fabrication, and field teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Previous experience designing or drafting flare stacks, burner systems, thermal oxidizers, or other combustion-related equipment.
- Experience with oil and gas, petrochemical, refinery, midstream, or industrial plant projects.
- Working knowledge of relevant standards such as API, ASME, CSA, ANSI, or applicable client specifications.
- Experience preparing bills of materials and fabrication packages for pressure equipment, piping, or structural assemblies.
- Familiarity with shop fabrication, welding, steel detailing, and field installation practices.
- Experience working with 3D models, plant layouts, skid packages, or modular equipment.
