3D Modeler – Plant Engineering

Position Title: 3D Modeler – Plant Engineering

Job Location:

Project Office, Vadodara (with site visits as required)

Third Party Contract Position

Job Purpose:

To support the development of accurate, intelligent 3D models for the Polycarbonate Plant Relocation project (D3 Project) and future greenfield and brownfield projects (Phenol, Cumene, IPA, CHN, Offsites & Utilities), based on laser-scanned data, available documentation, and engineering inputs.

The candidate will be a core member of the in-house 3D modeling team, enabling us to efficiently coordinate with external agencies, improve model quality, and generate critical deliverables for engineering, construction, and procurement.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and update 3D models using E3D, SP3D, and IDS, for greenfield projects as well as for existing plants by integrating scanned data from the actual plant with available P&IDs, equipment layouts, and piping isometrics.
• Generate piping layouts, isometrics, general arrangements (GA), and support drawings using 3D model, PMS/VMS and piping catalogue specifications.
• Validate and update tagging of equipment, instruments, and lines in 3D model, based on P&IDs, laser scan data and actual site condition/ data.
• Extract 2D deliverables (piping plans, equipment layouts, cable tray layouts, civil/structural GAs) from the 3D model for use by other engineering teams.
• Participate in model reviews with EPCM consultants, dismantling contractors, and site teams.
• Coordinate with ASETS and other digital tool vendors for model enhancements and integration.
• Support the preparation of area-wise MTOs, barcoding interface, and packaging documentation.

Key Skills and Competencies Required:

• In-depth experience with AVEVA E3D, SmartPlant 3D (SP3D), IDS Viewer, and associated 3D platforms.
• Hands-on knowledge of piping specifications, supports, insulation, piping special items (strainers, vents, steam traps)
• Equipment , structure, E & I modelling .
• Strong ability to interpret and cross-reference P&IDs, piping isometrics, and equipment datasheets.
• Familiarity with laser scan point cloud integration and conversion to intelligent 3D models.
• Ability to generate 2D outputs across multiple disciplines (Civil, Mech, Piping, E&I).
• Working knowledge of PMS/VMS systems and catalog management.
• Good communication skills and ability to coordinate with multi-disciplinary teams.

Educational Qualifications:

• Diploma / BE / B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Piping Design, or related discipline.

Experience Required:

• 5–10 years of experience in 3D modelling for petrochemical, chemical, or refinery projects.
• Minimum 3 years of experience specifically with E3D or SP3D, and experience working with laser-scanned models.
• Experience in developing models from as-built scan data and correlating with incomplete documentation is highly desirable.
