Mechanical Designer

Location: Hybrid (20+ offices across the USA, open to remote work) Employment Type: Contract Duration: 1 Year (extended annually) Hourly Rate: $60 - 80/hour Mechanical Designers to support new nuclear power plant projects, including advanced reactors and small modular reactors, by developing mechanical design packages from initial inputs through final documentation. Responsibilities: Interpret piping specifications, design requirements, isometric drawings, equipment data, and support requirements. Develop commodity routing and arrangement sketches that incorporate seismic, thermal, and other project-specific design criteria. Develop 3D plant models using Hexagon SmartPlant S3D and the SPF database to generate detailed drawings, plan and elevation views, bills of material, and commodity lists. Document the design basis, inputs, assumptions, and open-item dispositions in clear, traceable, auditable design sketches consistent with project procedures and applicable ASME B&PVC Section III and/or ASME B31.1 requirements. Coordinate interdisciplinary interfaces, resolve model clashes and discrepancies, and report design status. Independently plan and execute assigned deliverables, providing guidance to other designers and coordinating work to meet project schedules. Qualifications: At least three years of relevant mechanical design and 3D plant-modeling experience. Background in piping layout and interpretation of piping specifications, equipment data, and support requirements. SmartPlant S3D experience is strongly preferred; experience with similar 3D design software is also relevant. Familiarity with S3D/SPF integration, clash detection and resolution, and plant-model data management is valued. Strong communication and interdisciplinary coordination skills. MicroStation proficiency is a plus, but not required. #J-18808-Ljbffr
