JOB SUMMARY

Reporting to the Department Lead, the Civil/Structural Designer is a technical design professional who works with engineers, other designers and multidisciplinary project teams in the development and delivery of civil, structural and architectural designs for mining, industrial and infrastructure projects. The Designer develops and integrates project designs into coordinated three-dimensional models, drawings, layouts, details and other design deliverables.

Working with engineers and other project personnel as required, the Designer develops practical design solutions based on project requirements, engineering criteria, equipment information, multidisciplinary inputs, applicable codes and standards, and site conditions. Engineers provide engineering input where required, including engineering analysis, component selection, member sizing and other matters requiring professional engineering judgment. The

Designer is responsible for integrating these requirements into the overall design and developing the associated models, drawings and project sheets.

As experience and capability are demonstrated, Designers assume increasing responsibility for independently developing design solutions, coordinating multidisciplinary interfaces, resolving design and constructability issues, checking and reviewing design work, and providing technical guidance to less experienced design personnel. Professional engineering responsibility and sealing of engineering documents remain with the responsible professional engineer.

Other duties may be assigned as necessary.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop civil, structural and architectural designs for mining, industrial and infrastructure projects using engineering, equipment, site and multidisciplinary information.
• Develop and maintain three-dimensional project models using Autodesk Revit and produce coordinated drawings, sheets, plans, sections, elevations and details from the project model.
• Prepare and modify two-dimensional drawings and design information using AutoCAD and other applicable Autodesk software.
• Interpret and incorporate engineering calculations, design criteria, specifications, sketches, vendor information, field information and other project inputs into coordinated designs.
• Coordinate designs with mechanical, electrical, piping…
