Junior Designer

About Us

ONSITE3D is a Calgary-based Virtual Design and Construction company supporting industrial and energy projects through engineering, design, laser scanning, and field-integrated project delivery. Our work focuses on accurate field data, constructability, and fabrication-ready design.

We are hiring a Junior Designer to support our design team across industrial projects. This role is focused on developing foundational drafting and modeling skills while contributing to real project deliverables. You will work closely with intermediate and senior designers to learn how to produce accurate drawings, build 3D models, and support field-driven design work. This is an ideal role for someone early in their career looking to gain experience in industrial design, piping systems, and VDC workflows.

• Assist in creating 2D drawings using AutoCAD
• Support development of plot plans, general arrangements, isometrics, and basic layouts
• Update drawings based on markups and redlines from senior team members
• Assist with as‑built drawings using field data and redline markups
• Support model reviews and basic clash detection using Navisworks
• Organize and maintain drawing files and project documentation
• Receive direction from and communicate progress to senior designers on active projects
• Learn and apply drafting standards, codes, and best practices, including exposure to CSA Z662 and ASME B31.3 environments

• 0 to 5 years of drafting or design experience
• Diploma or certificate in drafting, design technology, or related field, or equivalent demonstrated ability
• Basic proficiency in AutoCAD
• Understanding of technical drawings and drafting fundamentals
• Solid attention to detail and willingness to learn
• Good communication and teamwork skills

• Exposure to AutoCAD Plant 3D or Navisworks
• Basic understanding of piping or mechanical systems
• Co‑op or internship experience in industrial or engineering environments
• Familiarity with construction drawings or as‑built markups
• Willingness to go on occasional field trips to gather as‑built field redlines

• Supportive team environment with exposure to a variety of industrial projects
• Hands‑on training and mentorship from experienced designers
• Exposure to real industrial projects and field workflows
• Structured performance and development reviews with opportunities to progress into intermediate designer responsibilities

At ONSITE3D, designers work at the intersection of scan data and engineering, meaning your drawings are grounded in reality from day one rather than built on assumptions. The company operates across the full project lifecycle, from point cloud capture, detailed engineering, and isometric extraction through to fabrication and virtual assembly, so a designer here touches work that actually gets built, on active SAGD facilities, refineries, FPSOs, and mine sites across Canada and the US Gulf Coast.

As a CCIB‑certified Indigenous‑owned company growing into new sectors and geographies, there is real room to shape how the design function matures alongside the business.
