CAD Drafter Gas T&D

Description

• Make recommendations for design improvements based on needs and requirements.
• Meet required deadlines and exceed client expectations.
• Propose gas pipeline alignments and fittings that meet design and constructability requirements.
• Primary point of contact on design for internal
• Validate existing gas pipeline positions by using related client mapping data and/or GIS system to confirm pipe specifications.
• Use client estimating tools and enter required quantities based on design. (FOMS, Vauchers)
• Identify key components required for tapping, testing, energizing, and abandoning of natural gas pipelines.
• Meet with local utility stakeholders during the pre-design phase. Meetings are in-person and/or onsite.
• Mentor other designers and drafters.
• Use client provided CAD files to accurately position drawing coordinates.
• Communicate design status to appropriate stakeholders.
• Identify Gas Main and Service pipe fittings required for gas control for installation, renewing, and/or removing from service gas facilities.
• Use client and other related standards to accurately proposed gas pipelines and fittings.
• Interpret Field Sketches and/or As-Builts to determine existing and proposed Gas Pipeline alignments.
• Decipher Wet and Dry utility records to eliminate any construction conflicts with proposed alignments.
• Use related project data to accurately identify Gas Take-Off fittings for both Polyethylene and Steel Gas pipeline energized or de-energized sources for 60 and above PSI systems.
• Receive and provide constructive peer reviews.
• Maintain excellent project communication with continuously changing tools and processes.
