• The position requires strong technical ability to both perform design tasks and lead others, ability to work independently with minimal guidance, working knowledge of stage-gated industrial projects, and strong communication skills in written, spoken, and personal formats. 
• Our senior designers can produce complete construction drawing packages with limited engineering guidance and are often paired with junior engineers to help mentor them in the craft of design. 
• Strong capability for complex design tasks such as producing complete control panel layout and wiring drawings is essential. 
• We respect the craft and skill of designers: our designers are not a drafting service, they are an essential part of our team producing high quality packages, and we value senior designers willing to mentor young designers and engineers.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES:

• Execute project design tasks in partnership with Control Systems Engineer counterparts.
• Develop Control Systems scope on the project P&IDs.
• Coordinate with Control Systems Engineer and project team to develop basic to complex schedules.
• Coordinate inter-discipline design directly with counterparts in other disciplines (such as piping and electrical).
• Work within 3D design software where applicable; contribute to and extract information from 3D model.
• Perform detailed vendor document reviews and incorporate into project design.
• Establish design budgets, forecast work, manage scope and budget for self and the design team.
