Structural Designer II - (Heavy Industrial Equipment & Hot Exhaust Ducting)

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare 3D CAD models, fabrication drawings, and material take-offs for heavy industrial equipment and ducting systems.
• Aid in the design of hot exhaust and flue gas ducting, including casings, transitions, and associated structural plate components.
• Create drawings for customer review, material procurement, and fabrication, adhering to established design standards and templates.
• Incorporate design input related to thermal expansion, operating temperature, and mechanical loading as directed by senior designers or engineers.
• Cover ducting layouts and interfaces with associated equipment such as SCR reactors, baghouses, ESPs, dampers, and expansion joints, with guidance as needed.
• Review project inputs for completeness and address questions or discrepancies raised by senior designers or project engineers.
• Perform geometric and material calculations (lengths, areas, volumes, weights, angles) to ensure drawing accuracy and material lists.
• Revise drawings based on internal reviews, customer comments, and fabrication feedback.
• Participate in interdisciplinary coordination with Engineering, Project Management, and Sales to support project execution.
• Follow document control procedures for drawing issuance, revisions, and file management.

Qualifications

• Associate’s degree in Computer-Aided Design, Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related discipline.
• Three (3) to five (5) years of experience in industrial structural or mechanical design.
• Experience producing industrial ductwork or plate structures, preferably in heavy industrial or process-equipment environments.
• Proficiency in 3D modeling and preparation of fabrication-ready drawings.
• Ability to perform basic geometric and material quantity calculations accurately.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Autodesk® Inventor or similar 3D mechanical design software.
• Exposure to hot exhaust or flue gas ducting systems operating at elevated temperatures.
• Familiarity with pollution control equipment such as SCRs, baghouses, or ESPs.
• Basic understanding of thermal expansion concepts in large ducting or plate structures.
• Knowledge of common industrial welding practices and fabrication constraints.
• Ability to interpret P&IDs and coordinate ducting layouts with process requirements.
