You will be part of the plant design department responsible for plant related studies and base solutions for mechanical and electrical design. Your responsibilities will mainly be to produce models and drawings that can be used in tenders and delivery projects and we also support R&D projects in mechanical design. We are also in the process of setting up our 3D models in virtual reality and if you have experience in that field it could also be a part of your future tasks.
