CAD Designer - Field Integrated

RINA is seeking for a CAD Designer - Field Integrated  in Arkadelphia (Arkansas)

Activities to be performed at Client's site.

Role Summary:

We’re seeking a CAD Designer with strong field experience to support the Veolia incinerator project in Arkadelphia. Unlike a traditional CAD production role, this position is RFI-heavy and focused on supporting engineering design in the field, performing P&ID and isometric redlines, and closing documentation gaps. The ideal candidate combines piping knowledge, the ability to interpret/critique engineering documents, and hands-on field problem solving.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Receive, log, prioritize, and respond to RFIs; perform document research to resolve technical gaps.

• Coordinate with engineering to confirm design intent; track closure and communicate impacts to schedule.

• Execute P&ID redlines and isometric redlines based on field conditions and engineering guidance.

• Validate line numbers, specs, tie-ins, valves, instruments; reconcile discrepancies across drawings.

• Conduct field walks to verify routing, clearances, supports, weld details, and installations.

• Capture as-built conditions and mark up drawings; escalate issues requiring engineering change.

• Maintain disciplined revision control; label and archive updates per project standards.

• Perform basic QA/QC checks on drawings and markups to ensure consistency and code alignment.

• Assist in clarifying design intent, performing simple takeoffs, and identifying constructability issues.

• Interface with planners, inspectors, and construction teams to close out actions.

Professional Requirements:

• 5–10 years in piping/industrial design roles (incinerator, chemical, refinery, or heavy industrial preferred).

• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Plant 3D (or MicroStation/SmartPlant), P&ID and piping isometric workflows.

• Demonstrated experience closing RFIs, performing field redlines, and as-built updates.

• Strong understanding of piping systems, specs, materials, valves, and instrumentation.

• Ability to interpret and correct engineering documents; meticulous with details and revision control.

• Comfortable working onsite in industrial environments and meeting tight timelines.

• Exposure to mechanical planning, welding inspection, or API vessel/tank/piping inspection (preferred).

• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills; ability to manage competing priorities.
