GMP Instrument Hook-up Drafter

The Junior GMP Instrument Hook-up Drafter supports the instrumentation and piping design team by creating accurate and detailed instrument hook-up drawings for use in GMP-compliant environments, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, and regulated lab facilities. This role involves working with P&IDs, loop diagrams, and engineering specifications to draft installation details for field instruments while ensuring strict adherence to documentation and GMP standards.

✅ Key Focus Areas:

1. Instrument Hook-up Drafting

   • Develop clear and accurate hook-up drawings for transmitters, analyzers, control valves, and field-mounted instruments.

   • Ensure inclusion of tubing, brackets, fittings, seal pots, impulse lines, manifolds, and mounting details.

2. GMP Documentation Standards

   • Follow Good Documentation Practices (GDP) and ensure drawings meet GMP regulatory standards.

   • Incorporate revision control, traceability, and compliance annotations as per validation protocols.

3. Coordination with Engineering

   • Work closely with instrumentation engineers and piping designers to understand equipment and installation requirements.

   • Interpret P&IDs, equipment layouts, and instrumentation datasheets to generate accurate hook-up views.

4. CAD Software Proficiency

   • Use AutoCAD (or equivalent CAD software) to prepare drawings based on templates and project standards.

   • Maintain drawing organization, layering, and detail consistency.

5. Standardization and Libraries

   • Utilize and maintain standard blocks and symbol libraries for consistent hook-up drafting.

   • Support updates to drafting templates based on engineering or QA feedback.

6. Change Management

   • Assist in updating existing drawings based on field modifications, RFIs, or design changes.

   • Redline and revise drawings as required during engineering reviews or inspections.

7. Compliance and Safety Considerations

   • Ensure drawings reflect safe, accessible, and cleanroom-compliant instrument installation practices.

   • Apply GMP-aligned materials and connection standards in detailing.

8. Learning and Development

   • Develop knowledge of instrumentation types, process conditions, and clean utility systems.

   • Participate in training on GMP guidelines, cGxP, and life sciences industry design practices.

Qualifications:

• Education:

  • Diploma or associate degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation Engineering, or Drafting Technology.

• Experience:

  • 0–2 years of drafting experience; prior internship or project work in regulated industries is a plus.

• Skills Required:

  • Basic knowledge of P&IDs and process instrumentation.

  • Proficient in AutoCAD or similar 2D drafting software.

  • Detail-oriented with an understanding of GMP documentation principles.
