About The Position

The Design Engineer leads the full lifecycle delivery of capital projects across Luck Stone’s aggregate operations, from conceptual design through commissioning and closeout. Engineering knowledge is the foundation of the role, while successful project delivery is the primary measure of performance. The position owns project budgets, schedules, and scope and coordinates engineering, operations, contractors, and internal construction resources. The role includes serving as project manager for capital projects; developing and managing estimates, budgets, and schedules; selecting and managing contractors and vendors; and leading commissioning, startup coordination, and formal closeout. It also requires regular travel to active quarry sites to assess conditions, verify designs, and support construction execution. The engineer partners with plant staff and operations leadership to validate project scope and ensure designs are operationally sound and constructible. The Design Engineer leads plant design and processing-equipment integration, coordinates deliverables across engineering disciplines, evaluates and selects capital equipment, and manages vendor submittals, technical reviews, and OEM coordination through installation and commissioning. The role produces and reviews engineering drawings using AutoCAD, directs designers, and maintains project documentation, specifications, and records in accordance with company document-control standards.
