About The Position

Quanta Power Solutions is seeking a highly experienced Mechanical Designer IV to lead complex mechanical design efforts for power generation, renewable energy, battery energy storage systems (BESS), data centers, substations, transmission, and industrial infrastructure projects. This senior-level role drives advanced 3D modeling and design execution, coordinates multidisciplinary deliverables, and ensures high-quality, constructible design packages are delivered across all phases of EPC project execution. The role requires deep technical expertise in industrial mechanical design, leadership within design teams, and the ability to independently manage complex design scopes while mentoring junior and mid-level designers. The Mechanical Designer IV leads development and oversight of complex mechanical design deliverables and 3D models, coordinates design across disciplines, manages major design scopes from conceptual design through construction, and supports field, startup, and commissioning activities. The role also helps maintain design quality and BIM standards, resolves design and construction issues, and provides technical guidance and mentorship to other designers.

Requirements

Associate degree or technical diploma in Drafting, Engineering Technology, Mechanical Design, or a related field is preferred.
Minimum 8–12 years of mechanical design experience.
Extensive experience in EPC, power generation, industrial, utility, or infrastructure projects is required.
Demonstrated experience leading design scopes and coordinating multidisciplinary deliverables.
Advanced knowledge of mechanical drafting and design principles, piping systems and industrial layouts, HVAC and mechanical utility systems, construction documentation and fabrication detailing, and EPC design workflows and constructability requirements.
Expert proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, and Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, and Outlook).
Strong experience with Plant 3D, BIM coordination workflows, clash detection and resolution, and multidisciplinary design integration.
Strong leadership and independent decision-making capabilities.
Excellent attention to detail and commitment to design accuracy.
Strong communication and coordination skills across disciplines and stakeholders.
Ability to manage multiple complex design assignments simultaneously.
Strong problem-solving skills focused on constructible, efficient solutions.
Ability to mentor and develop junior staff effectively.
Ability to sit, stand, or walk for extended periods.
Ability to travel periodically for site visits, field verification, construction support, and project coordination.
Ability to work in active industrial and construction environments as required.

Responsibilities

Lead development of complex mechanical design deliverables for large-scale EPC projects.
Prepare, review, and approve equipment layouts, general arrangement drawings, piping layouts and routing designs, isometric drawings, fabrication packages, mechanical installation and construction drawings, and equipment arrangement and coordination models.
Provide design leadership for piping and process systems, HVAC systems, cooling water and auxiliary systems, fuel gas systems, compressed air systems, and Balance of Plant (BOP) systems.
Ensure designs are constructible, code-compliant, and aligned with project specifications and engineering intent.
Lead development and oversight of complex 3D models for major EPC projects.
Manage model coordination and lead clash detection resolution; integrate vendor models and align multidisciplinary designs.
Maintain BIM standards and consistency across project deliverables, and lead model reviews with engineering, construction, and project teams.
Independently manage major design scopes through conceptual design, detailed engineering, and construction phases.
Oversee material take-offs, quantity estimates, and design deliverables; support construction packages and technical documentation.
Contribute to project planning, sequencing, and execution strategies, and ensure design milestones and deadlines are met.
Coordinate mechanical design with civil, structural, electrical, process, and instrumentation teams.
Lead design coordination meetings and interdisciplinary reviews, resolve complex design conflicts and interface issues, and integrate mechanical systems within the overall facility design.
Provide advanced support during construction, startup, and commissioning; conduct field verification, site visits, and equipment walkdowns.
Support resolution of Requests for Information (RFIs) and field design issues; update models and drawings for field conditions and as-built requirements.
Assist with commissioning support and system turnover documentation.
Ensure compliance with company drafting standards, engineering procedures, and project specifications; perform detailed quality checks before deliverable issuance.
Support development and refinement of drafting and BIM standards and promote continuous improvement in design workflows and efficiency.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior and mid-level designers, support training and development, and share design and EPC execution best practices.
Assist engineering leadership with technical problem-solving and design optimization.
