About the role

We are seeking an EPC Support Design Drafter to support the engineering, design, fabrication, and delivery of packaged pump station projects. This role is ideal for someone with strong design/drafting experience and a technical background in mechanical systems, pumping systems, piping, fabrication, or industrial equipment manufacturing. You will work closely with the EPC Engineer and coordinate with project management, design/drafting, production, quality control, sales, and field personnel. The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, technically capable, and comfortable supporting custom pump station projects from design through fabrication, testing, delivery, and installation support.

Responsibilities

• Support engineering, design, manufacturing, and construction coordination for packaged pump station projects.
• Review drawings, layouts, pump selections, piping arrangements, bills of material, specifications, submittals, vendor data, and fabrication documents.
• Create and update 3D models, assemblies, fabrication drawings, bills of material, and project documentation.
• Track project action items, drawing revisions, technical questions, submittal comments, and open issues.
• Assist production by answering shop questions, verifying component fit-up, and helping ensure work matches approved drawings and specifications.
• Maintain organized project records, including drawings, submittals, schedules, quality records, and status reports.
• Communicate risks, delays, material issues, design conflicts, or coordination concerns to the EPC Engineer or project leadership.

Requirements

• Experience in design, drafting, manufacturing, or project coordination preferred; degree not required.
• Strong ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, piping layouts, specifications, bills of material, and project documents.
• Experience with packaged pump stations, water/wastewater systems, mechanical systems, utilities, industrial manufacturing, or engineered-to-order equipment preferred.
• Basic understanding of pumps, valves, piping, hydraulics, controls, instrumentation, skids, enclosures, and fabrication processes.
• Very proficient in 3D modeling software, preferably Autodesk Inventor. Ability to create and manage assemblies, detailed drawings, bills of material, and related design documentation.
• Strong organization, follow-up, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to work with engineering, procurement, production, quality, construction, vendors, customers, and operations teams.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with EPC project delivery, procurement processes, shop drawings, and submittals.
• Experience with design automation, configuration tools, rules-based modeling, scripting, or coding.
• Practical understanding of fabrication, assembly, construction sequencing, jobsite constraints, and vendor coordination.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment with multiple custom projects in progress.
• Commitment to safety, quality, continuous improvement, and project accountability.

What We're Looking For

• Practical, solutions-oriented mindset.
• Ability to balance engineering theory with real-world constraints.
• Strong attention to detail without losing sight of project deadlines.
• Good communication across engineering, shop, and customers.
• Enjoy figuring out how mechanical systems actually work.
• Can look beyond the drawing and understand how equipment will be fabricated and assembled.
• Comfortable walking onto the shop floor to verify a dimension or solve a problem.
• Ask questions when equipment or project requirements do not make sense.
• Can identify piping, equipment, and clearance conflicts before manufacturing finds them.
• Enjoy custom projects where every system is a little different.

This position is not intended for someone looking solely for a desk-based engineering role or basic CAD drafting work. Our Engineer/Designers are expected to understand the systems they design, make engineering and design decisions, and work directly with the people building the equipment.

Education

A bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related field is preferred. Relevant mechanical design and manufacturing experience may be considered in place of a degree.
