Digital Design Operator

The Digital Design Operator is primarily responsible for producing, revising, checking, and maintaining 2D CAD drawings and, where required, basic 3D models for FPSO assets throughout the asset lifecycle. Working from approved engineering inputs, field markups, redlines, sketches, and change records, the position converts technical information into accurate, controlled, and issue-ready engineering deliverables.

The role applies company CAD standards, drawing conventions, templates, layering, symbology, numbering, and revision controls. It supports as-built accuracy and the availability of reliable drawings for operations, maintenance, regulatory, and project activities. The role works under the technical direction of the responsible engineering discipline and does not independently make, approve, or alter engineering design decisions or design intent

Duties and responsibilities

• Prioritize safety and comply with all health, safety, security, environmental, quality, and information-security requirements.
• Prepare, revise, and maintain accurate 2D CAD drawings and basic 3D models using approved engineering inputs, software, templates, and standards.
• Produce and update engineering drawings such as P&IDs, PFDs, general arrangements, equipment and piping layouts, electrical diagrams, schematics, and other discipline-specific deliverables.
• Incorporate approved engineering changes, field markups, redlines, and as-built information while maintaining proper drawing, revision, and document control.
• Ensure drawings comply with company CAD standards, drafting procedures, engineering conventions, and applicable industry requirements.
• Perform thorough quality and accuracy checks on drawings and promptly escalate incomplete information, discrepancies, or potential design conflicts to the responsible engineer or designer.
• Maintain the integrity of master CAD files, templates, reference files, drawing registers, and controlled outputs.
• Coordinate with engineers, designers, operations, maintenance, project teams, Asset Information Management, Document Control, contractors, and other stakeholders to support timely and accurate drawing delivery.
• Manage assigned drawing priorities, worklists, and deadlines, proactively communicating missing inputs, technical constraints, and schedule risks.
• Support drawing reviews, interdisciplinary checks, quality verification, and continuous improvement of CAD processes, templates, libraries, and drafting practices.
  
  

Qualifications

• Diploma, technical qualification, or vocational qualification in CAD Drafting, engineering technology, or related technical discipline. A bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related field is also acceptable.
• Relevant CAD software training or certification is an advantage. Equivalent combinations of education, technical training, certification, and relevant industry experience may be considered.
• Minimum five (5) years of hands-on CAD drafting experience in an engineering or industrial environment. Experience in oil and gas, marine, offshore, or FPSO operations is preferred.
• Training or practical working knowledge in 3D modeling and in electrical, electronics, instrumentation, or control-system drawings is preferred.
• Practical experience in preparing, revising, checking, and issuing controlled engineering drawings and as-built documentation.
