Sargent & Lundy

Job Title

Mechanical Design Engineer

Responsibilities

This role offers a hybrid work arrangement. You'll spend three days a week in the office, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days.

As a member of the mechanical design team, this position will offer you the opportunity to work with multi-disciplined engineering and design project teams in developing mechanical physical layout drawings in a 3-D model.

Complete challenging assignments that include the design of mechanical systems, and investigating, trouble-shooting, and solving a wide variety of mechanical design issues.

Utilize 3D modeling software tools to generate mechanical design schematics.

Participate in the coordination of detailed design phases for all aspects of an integrated mechanical design model.

Provide support to other designers and project team members in order to ensure a complete and timely design.

Independently and as a member of a design team, plan and execute mechanical design deliverables, such as general arrangements, piping isometrics, piping composites, pipe support drawings, and equipment location drawings.

There may be the opportunity to accompany and assist senior designers and engineers in field walkdowns and data gathering at client facilities.

Provide guidance to others in the use of drafting tools, and also as a mentor in the development of less experienced drafters and designers.

We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.

Essential skills and experience:

Minimum 1 year of experience in drafting.

An Associate's Degree in drafting, or a high school diploma and 1 or more years drafting course work or equivalent technical experience.

Knowledge of detailed physical design 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.

Valued but not required experience:

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related degree.

Proficiency with MicroStation.
