• Proficiency with at least one CAD/3D platform (e.g., AutoCAD, AutoCAD Plant 3D, Revit, SolidWorks, Hexagon SmartPlant, or similar) from school, internships, or prior work.
• Ability to read and interpret basic engineering drawings (plans, sections, elevations).
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate work.
• Willingness to learn new software tools, standards, and workflows.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills and ability to work in a team environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Internship, co-op, or project experience on industrial, power, or infrastructure projects.
• Exposure to 3D plant design tools (e.g., Intergraph Smart 3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D, Revit, Hexagon SmartPlant, PDMS/E3D).
