  • Support multiple OXY facilities with any minor structural or civil design needs. The minor structural or civil designs will support any piping designs and will follow plant approved specifications.
  • Develop complete design and construction work packages that meet safety in design requirements and engineering standards. Work packages may include but are not limited to P&IDs, fabrication / isometric drawings, weld maps, process flow diagrams, bill of materials, material takeoffs, plot plans, minor structural support designs, minor foundation drawings, line lists, tie-point lists, demolition plans, elevation and isometric sketches for drawings, tank & vessel outlines, fabrication and installation instructions, photos, specifications, and as-built drawings.
