About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer designs production machinery systems and related auxiliary equipment, and prepares the associated drawings and documentation. The role reviews and analyzes projects and proposals for facility changes involving production machinery and related equipment, and recommends changes to ensure legal compliance and applicable standards. It provides requirements to civil engineers when surveys are needed for machinery relocations or changes. The position serves as a technical expert on engineering practices for ad hoc or investigative committees, advising them as they develop proposals and recommendations for CSI management. It advises management on engineering projects and technical factors that may restrict or limit departmental operating proposals. The Mechanical Engineer studies building and equipment layouts to determine optimal arrangements, considering operating and capital costs, processing yields and losses, in-process time, and manpower costs. The role analyzes vendor proposals for adequacy and economics; conducts vendor reviews and meetings to coordinate changes or clarify proposals and recommendations; establishes proposal parameters for vendors; and coordinates transactions with the CSI Purchasing Department. It checks and authenticates drawings for projects within its area of responsibility and ensures drawing archives are updated with the latest drawings following construction or installation.
