Plant Layout Design Engineer

About the Role

The plant designer provides state-of-the-art designs for existing and future operating plants during definition, planning, and execution phases of CAPEX projects for Cement, Waste Management, Power, Logistic, Aggregate, and Ready Mix. Creating benefits in designing projects safely, on time, at lowest costs, on quality, right first, and elaborates on one or more projects. In close cooperation with Engineering Managers and Engineering Discipline Engineers, the Plant Designer is responsible for producing the necessary drawings/documents defining the scope of the project.

The Plant Designer visualizes technically functional plant solutions that are safe, maintenance and operation friendly, and cost-effective. Execution of the design work must be carried out in a timely and cost-effective manner, complying with safety and technical guidelines, standards, and methods.

The preferred locations for this position are Plano, TX or Dundee, MI. The position can be remote as long as you live within a reasonable distance from an airport and are able to travel.
