Junior P&ID Drafter – SmartPlant Migration
Full-Time | Houston, Katy area

About Us
ProLytX is an established consulting firm providing application services across the oil & gas, petrochemical, and industrial sectors. We're expanding our drafting team to support an active SmartPlant P&ID migration initiative.

Role Summary
You'll work within a dedicated migration team converting existing AutoCAD P&ID drawings into SmartPlant P&ID, ensuring data integrity, symbol consistency, and compliance with project and client standards. This role is ideal for a drafter with AutoCAD experience who is eager to develop SmartPlant expertise in a structured project environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Convert legacy AutoCAD P&ID drawings into SmartPlant P&ID using established migration workflows and templates

  • Accurately recreate process lines, instrumentation, equipment, and annotation within the SmartPlant intelligent database environment

  • Perform quality checks on converted drawings to verify completeness, accuracy, and consistency against source documents

  • Incorporate redline markups and engineer comments during the conversion process

  • Maintain drawing logs and support document control throughout the migration

  • Coordinate with senior drafters and the migration lead to resolve symbol mapping conflicts or data gaps

  • Follow project standards for tag naming, line numbering, and instrumentation classification

Qualifications

  • In process of obtaining an Associate's degree or certificate in Drafting Technology, Engineering Technology, or related field — or equivalent vocational/trade training

  • 0–2 years of P&ID drafting experience using AutoCAD

  • Exposure to SmartPlant P&ID preferred; willingness to train on the platform is required

  • Exposure to P&ID symbols, instrumentation notation, and line conventions (ISA 5.1)

  • High attention to detail — migration work demands accuracy over speed

  • Ability to work from source drawings independently while flagging discrepancies for engineering review

Nice to Have

  • Any hands-on SmartPlant P&ID experience, even academic or self-taught

  • Background in oil & gas, refining, or chemical processing environments

What We Offer

  • Structured SmartPlant P&ID training and mentorship

  • Path to mid-level drafter as migration scope expands

  • Exposure to intelligent P&ID workflows and data-driven engineering environments
