About The Position

This role will offer a hybrid work arrangement from our future Knoxville office. The expectation will be to spend three days a week in the office, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days. As an associate mechanical drafter, this position will offer you the opportunity to work in a multi-disciplined engineering and design project team developing mechanical equipment location, piping layout and pipe support deliverables. Participate in 3D model reviews and the coordination of detailed design phases for all aspects of an integrated mechanical design. Layout mechanical equipment maintaining required spatial clearances utilizing 3D modeling software. Develop physical piping layout and pipe support designs utilizing 3D modeling software in an integrated 3D design environment. Layout piping, associated components and pipe supports utilizing system design criteria and engineering piping & instrumentation diagram (P&ID) information. Work with mechanical equipment 3D model layout and vendor drawings to verify equipment and component connection points. Work in 3D model with other design disciplines to ensure that physical clearances are met and constructability, accessibility, and operations and maintenance requirements are maintained. Work with piping stress and structural engineers to locate and detail required pipe supports.
