About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer designs production machinery systems and related auxiliary equipment, including preparing drawings and documentation. The role reviews projects and proposals involving changes to production machinery and related equipment, recommends changes to support legal compliance and applicable standards, and provides project requirements to civil engineers when surveys are needed for machinery relocations or changes. The position serves as a technical expert on engineering practices for committees and investigations, advises management on engineering projects and technical factors affecting operating departments, and performs studies of building and equipment layouts. These studies assess arrangements using operating and capital costs, processing yields and losses, in-process time, and manpower costs. The Mechanical Engineer evaluates vendor proposals for adequacy and economics, conducts vendor reviews and meetings, establishes proposal parameters, and coordinates transactions with the CSI Purchasing Department. The role checks and authenticates project drawings and ensures drawing archives are updated after construction or installation.
