BLOC Resources is seeking a highly experienced Mechanical Designer—P&ID Developer 2 to support the Operations Data Analytics team at Plant Daniel. This role is suited for a professional with 5–10 years of hands-on experience creating, updating, verifying, and managing Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) for industrial or power plant systems. The Mechanical Designer will collaborate closely with engineering teams to accurately represent and document mechanical systems, instrumentation, control systems, and piping networks.

This position plays a key role in maintaining safe, reliable plant operations and ensuring compliance with engineering standards. The mechanical designer must be able to perform field walkdowns, interpret complex systems, and produce high-quality P&IDs that support project development, maintenance activities, system troubleshooting, and operational analysis.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop, modify, and maintain detailed P&IDs in AutoCAD that accurately represent mechanical systems, piping networks, instrumentation, control loops, and equipment across plant systems

• Collaborate with mechanical engineers, process engineers, and operations staff to collect system requirements and design inputs

• Interpret sketches, engineering notes, field measurements, and plant documentation to create accurate P&IDs

• Produce consistent, well-organized P&ID documentation, including symbols, labels, instrumentation details, asset IDs, and tagging conventions

• Ensure all diagrams comply with ISA, ASME, ANSI, API, and site-specific drafting standards

• Support component selection by working with engineers to choose valves, instrumentation, piping materials, and equipment

• Manage P&ID revisions, track changes, and maintain full revision history in accordance with project requirements

• Perform in-depth quality control reviews to ensure accuracy, completeness, consistency, and compliance with engineering standards

• Conduct on-site field walkdowns to verify P&ID accuracy, gather missing data, and validate as-built configurations

• Create accurate as-built P&IDs following equipment installation, system modifications, or construction changes

• Communicate design updates clearly to engineering, project management, operations, and maintenance teams

• Assist in training or mentoring junior designers or drafters in P&ID development and standards

• Maintain detailed documentation and support engineering teams with updated system information for troubleshooting and project planning

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, mechanical design, industrial technology, or a related field

• 5–10 years of mechanical design experience with extensive P&ID development work

• Proficiency with AutoCAD and other P&ID drafting tools

• Strong understanding of industrial processes, piping systems, pumps, valves, pressure equipment, and instrumentation

• Experience performing field walkdowns and gathering system data firsthand

• Knowledge of engineering codes, safety requirements, and industry standards related to P&ID documentation

Skills and Abilities

- Strong mechanical design and drafting skills with high attention to detail

• Ability to interpret engineering documents, process flow diagrams, system descriptions, and equipment manuals

• Excellent problem-solving and analytical abilities for resolving discrepancies or incomplete data

• Strong communication skills for collaborating with multiple engineering disciplines

• Ability to handle multiple assignments, prioritize tasks, and work in a fast-paced industrial environment

• Commitment to producing accurate, high-quality engineering documentation
