About The Position

Under the direction of the Mechanical Project Lead, this position offers the opportunity to work with multi-disciplined engineering and design project teams in developing mechanical physical layout drawings in a 3-D model. The role involves challenging assignments including the design of mechanical systems, and investigating, trouble-shooting, and solving a wide variety of mechanical design issues. The designer will utilize 3D modeling software tools to generate mechanical design schematics and act as the Mechanical design team lead, coordinating detailed design phases for all aspects of an integrated mechanical design model. This includes coordinating and providing guidance to other designers and project team members to ensure a complete and timely design. The position requires independently planning and executing design deliverables such as general arrangements, piping isometrics, piping composites, pipe support drawings, and equipment location drawings. There may be opportunities to conduct field walkdowns and data gathering at client facilities. Additionally, the role involves providing guidance as a mentor in the development of less experienced drafters and designers. This position allows for a hybrid work schedule.
