Senior Mechanical Designer 1 - Nuclear

Sargent & Lundy•Chattanooga, TN

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

Under the direction of the Mechanical Project Lead, this position will offer you the opportunity to work with multi-disciplined engineering and design project teams in developing mechanical physical layout drawings in a 3-D model. This role involves challenging assignments that include the design of mechanical/structural systems, and investigating, trouble-shooting, and solving a wide variety of mechanical and structural design issues. You will utilize 3D modeling software tools to generate mechanical and structural related design drawings and act as the Mechanical/Structural Responsible Designer in the coordination of detailed design phases for all aspects of an integrated mechanical design model. The position requires coordinating and providing guidance to other designers and project team members to ensure a complete and timely design. You will independently plan and execute design deliverables, such as general arrangements, piping isometrics, piping composites, pipe support drawings, and equipment location drawings. There may be the opportunity to conduct field walkdowns and data gathering at client facilities. Additionally, you will provide guidance as a mentor in the development of less experienced drafters and designers. This position is based on a hybrid work schedule and will require in-office work 3 days per week.
