Staff Mechanical Design Engineer, EPC

Responsibilities

Serve as Mechanical Engineer of Record on projects (Hazardous occupancy, clean and dry spaces, chemical process / industrial plants), responsible for mechanical / plumbing deliverables (specifications, calculations, permit / construction documents).

Design ownership for a wide range of mechanical and plumbing systems including, but not limited to: industrial/non-potable water, HVAC systems (labs, offices, industrial plants), process heating / cooling systems humidifiers, dehumidifiers, abatement systems (dust collectors, scrubbers), cooling towers, fans/pumps, plumbing, etc.

Review conceptual designs from developing Engineers and identify technical and financial risks.

Responsible for designing/reviewing mechanical engineering deliverables with respect to code compliance and ensuring design maintains the highest level of quality.

Develop and improve project workflows and standards to ensure each design is consistently excellent.

Participate in on-field construction and commissioning activities by serving as the point of contact for technical questions and real-time issue resolution.

Multi-discipline collaboration on the development of equipment general arrangements, P&IDs, isometrics, tie-in lists and material takeoffs.

Travel to project site and meetings as needed.
