Senior Mechanical Designer 1 - Oil & Gas

Sargent & Lundy•Midland, MI

2d•Hybrid

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 within the Energy & Industrial Group (EIG), supporting industry-leading projects in power generation, plant design, environmental compliance, mid/downstream oil & gas, and multi-disciplined industrial projects. The group is focused on decarbonizing the industry through advanced technologies in renewable energy, carbon capture, and hydrogen power. Specific areas of work include detailed engineering services for PV solar projects, integration of solar and energy storage, carbon capture technologies (pilot-scale to commercial-scale), and green hydrogen production via electrolysis. As a member of the mechanical design team, this position involves developing mechanical physical layout drawings in a 3-D model, designing mechanical systems, investigating and solving mechanical design issues, and utilizing 3D modeling software to generate schematics. The role also includes coordinating detailed design phases, supporting other designers and team members, planning and executing mechanical design deliverables (general arrangements, piping isometrics, piping composites, pipe support drawings, equipment location drawings), and accompanying engineers in field walkdowns and data gathering at client facilities. Additionally, the position involves providing guidance and mentorship to less experienced drafters and designers.

Requirements

Associate's Degree in drafting, or a high school diploma and drafting course work or equivalent technical experience.
10 or more years of detailed physical design experience in the development of mechanical general arrangements, piping systems, and supports.
Proficiency with design software tools in executing 3D plant layout models.
Experience in the review of mechanical equipment, including outlines and interface points, and coordinating and developing the associated deliverables.
Ability to interface with engineering and design teams of other disciplines in the power plant design process.
We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.
