Mechanical Drafter 3 -- Energy & Industrial

Sargent & Lundy•Chicago, IL

1d•$53,568 - $77,026•Hybrid

About The Position

This role offers a hybrid work arrangement, with three days a week in the office and two days remote. As a member of the mechanical design team, this position will offer the opportunity to work with multi-disciplined engineering and design project teams in developing mechanical physical layout drawings in a 3-D model. You will complete challenging assignments that include the design of mechanical systems, and investigating, trouble-shooting, and solving a wide variety of mechanical design issues. You will utilize 3D modeling software tools to generate mechanical design schematics and participate in the coordination of detailed design phases for all aspects of an integrated mechanical design model. You will provide support to other designers and project team members to ensure a complete and timely design. Independently and as a member of a design team, you will plan and execute mechanical design deliverables, such as general arrangements, piping isometrics, piping composites, pipe support drawings, and equipment location drawings. There may be the opportunity to accompany and assist senior designers and engineers in field walkdowns and data gathering at client facilities. You will provide guidance to others in the use of drafting tools, and also as a mentor in the development of less experienced drafters and designers.
