- Assist in creating 2D drawings using AutoCAD
- Support development of plot plans, general arrangements, isometrics, and basic layouts
- Update drawings based on markups and redlines from senior team members
- Assist with as-built drawings using field data and redline markups
- Support model reviews and basic clash detection using Navisworks
- Organize and maintain drawing files and project documentation
- Receive direction from and communicate progress to senior designers on active projects
- Learn and apply drafting standards, codes, and best practices, including exposure to CSA Z662 and ASME B31.3 environments

- Hands-on training and mentorship from experienced designers
- Exposure to real industrial projects and field workflows
- Structured performance and development reviews with opportunities to progress into intermediate designer responsibilities
Why ONSITE3D
At ONSITE3D, designers work at the intersection of scan data and engineering, meaning your drawings are grounded in reality from day one rather than built on assumptions. The company operates across the full project lifecycle, from point cloud capture, detailed engineering, and isometric extraction through to fabrication and virtual assembly, so a designer here touches work that actually gets built, on active SAGD facilities, refineries, FPSOs, and mine sites across Canada and the US Gulf Coast. As a CCIB-certified Indigenous-owned company growing into new sectors and geographies, there is real room to shape how the design function matures alongside the business.
