Mechanical Engineer (Mechanical Design Engineer) Position Summary The Mechanical Engineer performs engineering work of intermediate complexity in support of a nuclear EPC project. Working under the supervision of the Discipline Lead or Area Lead Engineer, this role specifies mechanical equipment, prepares datasheets, supports P&ID development, and coordinates with procurement and construction through project startup. Project Overview This position supports a major nuclear EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) project at a uranium enrichment facility in the United States. The work is performed under federal regulatory oversight and a nuclear quality assurance program. Candidates will join a multi-discipline engineering team executing one of the largest domestic nuclear fuel-cycle expansion projects in decades. Work Location In-office. Locations vary by assignment (Greenville, SC or Houston, TX). Key Responsibilities Analyze and make independent recommendations regarding technical solutions to problems of intermediate complexity in accordance with project requirements. Develop and review mechanical specifications and design criteria. Prepare and review calculations and specifications for equipment in support of P&ID development. Demonstrate design experience in mechanical systems and equipment design and specification. Establish equipment requirements and prepare equipment datasheets for mechanical equipment including unfired and fired heat transfer equipment, packaged equipment, pressure vessels, pumps and compressors. Evaluate dimensions, equipment connections, and equipment performance including pressure profiles, heat transfer rates, and off-design cases. Provide equipment sizing and application support to project development or process. Participate in material selection for equipment. Develop and revise equipment lists, narrative specifications, equipment standards, and equipment general arrangement and outline drawings. Participate in supplier/contractor bid clarification, negotiation, and award meetings. Represent Mechanical in 3D model reviews and monitor equipment modeling activities. Provide consultation during fabrication, witness testing, installation, commissioning, and startup of equipment.
