About the Role:
We are seeking a skilled 3D HVAC Modeller to join our forward-thinking team working on complex marine projects. This role is ideal for an experienced professional with a passion for precision, design integration, and 3D modelling of systems on board ships. You'll play a vital role in the design, coordination, and clash-free integration of HVAC, piping, supports, and related systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • 3D Modelling & Integration: Develop and maintain detailed 3D models of HVAC systems, piping, supports, equipment foundations, and associated components for marine vessels using Cadmatic.
  • HVAC Systems Knowledge: Interpret HVAC engineering drawings, specifications, and design intent. Apply engineering standards and industry best practices to produce practical, constructible, and efficient designs
  • Production-Focused Design: Develop models with fabrication, installation, and production efficiency in mind. Identify constructability risks early and propose practical solutions that minimize cost, schedule impacts, and rework
  • Waterfront Change (WFC): Support the Waterfront Change team by incorporating Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) into the 3D model and updating affected manufacturing drawings
  • Clash Detection & Coordination: Perform clash detection and coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to resolve interferences, ensuring efficient integration within the constrained spaces of marine vessels.
  • Vendor & Spec Review: Review technical documentation and vendor drawings for alignment with system design and modelling standards.
  • Material Take-offs: Prepare accurate material take-offs for HVAC and piping systems based on the 3D model to support procurement and fabrication activities.
  • Customer & Team Collaboration: Work closely with clients, engineers, production personnel, and other disciplines to interpret project requirements, develop effective design solutions, and resolve technical or site-related issues.
  • Support & Flexibility: Perform site support and adapt to additional tasks or changes as needed to meet project deadlines and quality standards.
