Senior Mechanical Engineer - Department of Energy (Richland)

DescriptionThe Senior Mechanical Engineer will lead mechanical design project teams in Richland, WA to create world-class designs for new projects, alterations and redevelopments on a variety of equipment and infrastructure projects that will primarily support the local Department of Energy (DOE) complexes (e.g. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Hanford).Other projects may include municipal, power, process, corporate, healthcare, pipeline, airports, institutional, industrial, manufacturing, and military facilities. The Senior Mechanical Engineer will lead the project technical team throughout the design and construction process, adapting mechanical plans according to budget constraints, design factors or client needs. They will serve as a liaison for coordinating, managing, and executing project work across all ANF offices through direct communication with corresponding Section Managers. It is anticipated that they will have direct contact with our local clients in managing discipline specific work under Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA's) and large Federal budget line-item projects.Lead the mechanical design of projects from the conceptual design phase through completion of construction for project managers’ needs and requirements.Prepare mechanical equipment: packaged equipment specifications and data sheets, Request for Qualifications (RFQ's), technical bid summaries, and purchase recommendations.Review mechanical equipment vendor drawings, data interface with suppliers, clients, other engineering disciplines, detailers, and designers.Participate in project schedule development, scope, budget staffing planning and construction planning. Responsible for effective management of change orders.Applies expert knowledge of commonly used mechanical concepts, practices, codes, and procedures within the mechanical engineering services industry.Applies knowledge and experience in complex projects and finding non-standard design solutions.Quality review of production drawings, calculations, and specifications.Oversee construction administration, including coordination with field personnel to resolve design-related installation issues, calculations, field inspections and testing of mechanical systems.Leads field inspections, installation, measurements, or calculations for public and private clients.Prepare and present technical reports for clients and industry publications.Build effective relationships with existing clients, customers and contractors and develop new business opportunities.
