About The Position

This role offers a hybrid work arrangement, with three days a week in the office and two days remote. The position is part of the Energy & Industrial Group (EIG) project teams, supporting industry-leading projects in power generation, plant design, environmental compliance, mid/downstream oil & gas, and multi-disciplined industrial projects. The company is leading efforts in decarbonization through advanced technologies in renewable energy, carbon capture, and hydrogen power. EIG teams provide detailed engineering services for photovoltaic (PV) solar projects and the integration of solar and energy storage. They are an industry leader in carbon capture technologies and provide engineering services for green hydrogen production. As a member of the mechanical design team, this position involves developing mechanical physical layout drawings in a 3-D model, designing mechanical systems, and troubleshooting mechanical design issues. The role utilizes 3D modeling software to generate schematics, coordinates detailed design phases for an integrated mechanical design model, and supports other designers and team members. Responsibilities include planning and executing mechanical design deliverables such as general arrangements, piping isometrics, piping composites, pipe support drawings, and equipment location drawings. The role also involves accompanying engineers in field walkdowns and data gathering, and mentoring less experienced drafters and designers.
