Civil Designer

Roles and Responsibilities

• Prepare and develop civil and structural design drawings for oil & gas facilities using AutoCAD and AVEVA E3D.
• Generate and update 3D models of civil and structural components including foundations, equipment supports, piperacks, platforms, trenches, and roads.
• Extract 2D deliverables such as GA drawings, sections, details, and reinforcement layouts from the E3D model.
• Coordinate with piping, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation teams for layout consistency and interdisciplinary alignment.
• Support layout and planning of site development including grading, drainage, road access, and utility routing.
• Ensure compliance with project specifications, design codes (IS, ACI, BS, Eurocodes), and client standards.
• Perform regular clash checks and model reviews in E3D; resolve civil-related conflicts in coordination with other disciplines.
• Prepare quantity take-offs (BOQs) and support estimations based on 3D models and design drawings.

Required Skill Sets

• Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D and basic 3D) for civil/structural drafting and detailing.
• Hands-on experience with AVEVA E3D for 3D civil modeling, drawing extraction, and clash coordination.
• Sound knowledge of civil and structural design for industrial facilities (e.g., foundation types, concrete detailing, structural framing).
• Ability to read and develop civil layouts, foundation plans, RC detailing, and site infrastructure drawings.
• Experience working with site grading plans, stormwater layouts, and underground services.
• Understanding of civil construction workflows, materials, and detailing standards.

Good to Have Skills

• Familiarity with STAAD.Pro or Tekla Structures for structural analysis or detailing.
• Experience with point cloud data integration into E3D for brownfield projects.
• Knowledge of geotechnical drawings, survey data, and topographic interpretation.
• Understanding of BIM processes and document management systems 
• Exposure to international projects using US, British, or Euro civil codes.
• Experience with offshore civil design (e.g., module foundations, jackets, topsides) is a plus.

Qualifications

• Diploma or Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering / Structural Design / Drafting Technology.
• 3+ years of experience in civil/structural drafting and design in the oil & gas or heavy industrial sector. 
• Experience in EPC environments, preferably with multinational projects.
