Process Mechanical Engineer
About the role
Brown and Caldwell (BC), a leading employee-owned environmental engineering firm, is seeking a Process Mechanical Engineer to join the Design Services National Mechanical Discipline team. The role involves process mechanical engineering design of water and wastewater treatment processes, process piping systems, aeration, pumping/hydraulics analysis, and pipe supports for industrial plant design of equipment, piping and controls for industrial water treatment applications (e.g., wastewater, reclaimed, potable water, groundwater, zero liquid discharge and surface water) across industries such as energy/chemicals/power, food/pharmaceutical, manufacturing, mining/solids waste and technology. The engineer will support design and construction phases of process‑mechanical elements in environmental infrastructure projects, leading simple elements and assisting with complex ones, preparing calculations, coordinating interdisciplinary teams, guiding BIM professionals, reviewing submittals, responding to contractor inquiries, and performing site observations during construction.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design of simple process‑mechanical elements and provide assistance for complex discrete process‑mechanical elements in conceptual, preliminary, and final design phases.
- Lead preparation of simple calculations for selection of piping, equipment, and ancillaries; support complex calculations as needed.
- Lead coordination of interdisciplinary teams (architects, structural, electrical/I&C, building‑mechanical) for simple design elements; assist with complex coordination efforts.
- Lead guidance of BIM professionals to create accurate and efficient 3D models and contract documents for simple design elements; help direct BIM professionals for complex 3D models.
- Lead review of
