We are seeking a motivated engineering student to join our design team as a Co‑op in Piping & Instrumentation (P&ID) Drafting. The role provides hands‑on experience with the creation, revision, and management of P&IDs and wiring diagrams using industry‑standard CAD tools. The successful candidate will learn to interpret existing piping networks, produce “as‑built” documentation, and support engineering change processes.

• Learn & Apply P&ID Fundamentals
  • Study basic symbols, line types, and conventions used in piping and instrumentation diagrams.
  • Attend short training sessions and review company standards.
• Asset Identification & As‑Built Transcription
  • Walk‑through plant sites to locate valves, pumps, instruments, and other assets.
  • Accurately capture field data and translate it into “as‑built” P&IDs.
• CAD Drafting & Document Packages
  • Use SolidWorks (or equivalent CAD software) to develop professional‑grade P&ID sets.
  • Organize drawing files, title blocks, and revision logs into complete document packages ready for review.
• Engineering Redline Management
  • Receive redline markings from senior engineers.
  • Implement changes in the CAD files, ensuring all modifications are reflected consistently across related drawings.
• Wiring Diagram Production
  • Generate electrical wiring diagrams that depict current equipment and proposed new installations.
  • Coordinate with the electrical engineering team to confirm equipment ratings, conduit routing, and control logic.
• Quality & Compliance
  • Perform self‑checks for symbol accuracy, line continuity, and compliance with internal drafting standards and relevant codes (e.g., ASME, IEC).
  • Assist in cross‑disciplinary reviews and incorporate feedback promptly
• Documentation & Reporting
  • Maintain a log of work performed, hours spent on each drawing, and any issues encountered.
  • Prepare brief status updates for the supervising engineer.

*Preferred but not required:* prior exposure to P&ID symbols, experience with Microsoft Office/SharePoint, or participation in a related student project.

Desired Skills & Attributes 

• Strong analytical mindset – can interpret field data and translate it into schematic form.
• Attention to detail – accurate symbol placement and revision tracking are critical.
• Proactive learner – self‑directed study of standards and willingness to ask questions.
• Team player – comfortable collaborating with engineers, drafters, and construction personnel.
• Time‑management – ability to juggle coursework with co‑op responsibilities and meet deadlines.

What You’ll Gain 

• **Practical Experience** with industry‑grade CAD tools and real‑world engineering documentation.
• **Understanding** of how piping, instrumentation, and electrical systems are coordinated in complex projects.
