Mechanical Designer 3 - Nuclear Power
About The Position
The Mechanical Designer 3 works under the direction of the Mechanical Project Lead as part of multidisciplinary engineering and design teams in the Nuclear Power Group. The role develops mechanical general arrangement, piping isometric, pipe support, and equipment layout drawings in a 3-D model. The position has a hybrid schedule, with time split between the office and working remotely from home. The designer uses Hexagon SmartPlant S3D and the SPF database to create mechanical design deliverables, bills of materials, and commodity lists. The role interprets piping and instrumentation diagrams developed using SPID and develops physical designs that meet engineering requirements. It also leads coordination of detailed design phases for integrated mechanical models, resolves model clashes and discrepancies, and coordinates and guides other designers and project team members. The position independently plans and executes mechanical deliverables and mentors less experienced drafters and designers.
Requirements
- SmartPlant S3D modeling experience, including understanding the integration of SPID, SPF, and S3D.
