About This Role
This role involves using advanced techniques and tools to create realistic 3D models for design, analysis, and simulation, particularly for oil and gas facilities. It suits a skilled 3D Modeler with expertise in AVEVA E3D and Smart Plant 3D software, focusing on data integration, quality auditing, and automation for digital twins.
Responsibilities
- Use advanced techniques and tools to capture accurate geometry and dimensions of assets
- Create realistic 3D models for design, analysis, and simulation purposes
- Integrate data from various sources and create intelligent asset visualizations for digital twins
- Programmatically upload attributes into 3D modeling software
- Extract data from 3D modeling software and compare them with other data sources
- Diagnose issues and deviations from standards in existing 3D models of oil and gas facilities using AVEVA E3D and Smart Plant 3D software
- Use advanced techniques and tools to rectify issues and update models to contain complete and accurate metadata attributes
- Audit the quality of 3D models being delivered by third-party providers for correctness and adherence to company standards
- Guide clients and stakeholders in specifying expectations to third parties for large-scale, outsourced 3D modeling efforts
- Clearly outline and communicate these expectations for inclusion in contract documents and/or specifications
- Create macros in Programmable Macro Language (PML) to automate simple tasks like adding or updating UDAs, extraction of Navisworks/Review files, etc.
- Set up clash management and run clash reports
- Generate custom reports from the 3D model as per project requirements
- Configure (including troubleshooting) and extract key deliverables like Material Take Off (MTO), piping isometrics, equipment lists, line lists, weight reports, etc.
- Prepare 3D modeling guidelines and specifications, including lessons learned across assets
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or higher in engineering or a related field
- Minimum of 10 years work experience in the oil and gas industry
- Minimum of 8 years work experience working as a Piping Designer
- Very strong knowledge of plant layout, piping design, and piping materials
- Knowledge of instrumentation, mechanical/HVAC, Electrical, Civil/Structural plant components
- Ability to integrate/work with laser scan point cloud datasets within the 3D model
- Skilled in laser scanning, point cloud data management, brownfield 3D modeling, and data integration (preferably in AVEVA tools/technologies)
- Significant hands-on experience in using AVEVA E3D modeling and other relevant tools for laser scanning, 3D modeling, data integration, and digital twins
