• Participate in drawing reviews related to operability, safety, and system readiness.

• Assist engineers by identifying inconsistencies, missing information, or documentation gaps.

• Develop drawings for systems involving furnaces, thermal processing equipment, gas delivery systems, liquid handling systems, and associated infrastructure.

• Coordinate with engineers and operators to understand equipment layouts and process intent.

• Participate in walkdowns or equipment reviews as needed to verify field conditions.

• Maintain drawing files, revision history, and change documentation in accordance with internal standards.

• Ensure consistent use of symbols, nomenclature, and drafting conventions.

• Support audits, reviews, and engineering change processes by providing accurate and current drawings.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Associate degree or technical certification in drafting, design technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years of experience producing mechanical drawings in an industrial, manufacturing, or process environment.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD or similar drafting software; experience with Plant 3D is a plus.
• Strong understanding of P&ID symbology, piping components, valves, and basic instrumentation.
• Experience supporting safety reviews, operability reviews, or regulated environments is a plus.
• High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple drawing updates simultaneously.
• Comfortable collaborating closely with engineers, operators, and safety personnel.
