About The Position

Engineering Designer Council Bluffs, IA � Mechanical Design & 3D Modeling AutoCAD Plant 3D � FARO 3D Scanning � Piping, Boilers & Process Systems Since 1970, Rasmussen Mechanical Services has been a family-owned mechanical contractor working across the Midwest and Rocky Mountains.

The Work You'll bring mechanical projects to life on the screen before they're built in the field: 3D modeling, P&IDs, general arrangements, and fabrication drawings for everything from commercial HVAC systems to complex industrial piping, boilers, and process equipment. A typical week might include: Building 3D models in AutoCAD Plant 3D from FARO laser scans of customer facilities Drafting P&IDs, general arrangements, and fabrication drawings the shop and field crews can actually build from Walking job sites with project managers and sales engineers to scope new work Producing proposal drawings and renderings that help customers say yes Sitting down with our welders, fitters, and field techs to make sure what you're drawing makes sense to build
