The designer will work closely with civil/structural engineers and coordinate with mechanical and electrical designers.

- Complete backdrafting and drawing corrections identified by engineering and technical review teams.
- Incorporate site markups, photographs, survey information, and as-built data into final deliverables.
- Produce and update site plans, grading plans, plot plans, structural layouts, foundations, equipment supports, and related civil drawings.
- Support drawings associated with facility additions, valve replacements, pipe reroutes, and small capital projects.
- Assist with the preparation of Issued for Construction and As-Built drawing packages.
- Ensure drawings comply with internal drafting standards, local regulatory requirements, and applicable industry practices.




- Maintain drawing revisions, document-control records, and project histories.
- Review incomplete or evolving design information and work with engineers to resolve discrepancies.
- Coordinate with civil/structural engineers, mechanical and electrical designers, project managers, field teams, operations, maintenance, and external service providers.
- Support multiple projects and drawing requests while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines.

Qualifications

- Minimum five years of civil/structural drafting or design experience, preferably within the oil and gas or midstream sector.
- Strong proficiency with AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
- Experience updating drawings from field redlines and engineering-review comments.
- Experience producing civil and structural drawings for industrial facilities, pipelines, or infrastructure projects.
- Ability to interpret field information, site photographs, survey data, technical documents, and engineering markups.
- Familiarity with site plans, grading, foundations, structural layouts, equipment supports, and facility modifications.
- Knowledge of applicable Alberta codes, standards, and regulatory requirements.
- Experience working with pipeline and facility assets is preferred.
- Experience with P&IDs;, plot plans, piping layouts, or instrumentation drawings is considered an asset.
- Previous experience with the drawing standards and systems of a large pipeline or midstream operator is considered an asset.
- Experience leading or coordinating design activities is a strong asset.
