NATURE OF WORK

Take conceptual plant layouts and sketches and develop them into a set of working drawings that can be utilized to construct a facility. Design and prepare complete and accurate construction and fabrication drawings for industrial processing facilities and bulk/packaged material handling layout and design projects. Create 3D models of the steel components and equipment and produce bill of materials (BOMs) and a set of working fabrication drawings. Develop RFQ’s for the procurement of the raw materials necessary for the fabrication of the components.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Coordinate with Project Managers, Engineers, Designers and Detailers to produce the following types of drawings for use by field and fabrication personnel:
• Site Development drawings
• Process Flow Diagrams
• Equipment Layout drawings
• Concrete construction drawings
• Steel construction and fabrication drawings

• Optimize material and labor in designs of the components and equipment
• Industrial ventilation drawings (dust control systems)
• Able to work independently.
• Participate in design review meetings and report weekly progress for weekly project meetings.
• Provide input to estimating as to number of hours required to complete drawings for a project based on a given scope of work.
• Produce preliminary steel layout and minor platform design.
• Perform minor calculations for system design (surge bin sizing, spouting size selection, dust collection CFM requirements, and minor conveyor sizing).
• Maintain a working knowledge of construction and fabrication means and methods.
• Maintain a working knowledge of construction and fabrication nomenclature (i.e. weld symbols, rebar callout abbreviations, steel drawing abbreviations, etc.).
• Modify drawings as directed by engineer or architect at the conclusion of a project to match what was actually built in the field - “As-Builts”.
• Minor coordination with vendors gathering equipment dimensions & specifications. Check equipment approval drawings for fit within a system.
• Participate in the development of standard details and standard parts and components.
• Assist in coordination with vendors supplying materials to the facility.
• Assist in troubleshooting detailing and fabrication issues.
• Maintain project drawing files according to Bratney Companies standards and procedures.
