Participates in bid negotiations with vendors. May evaluate change orders on behalf of the client. Prepares and reviews single-discipline, complex reports/studies. Participates in the preparation of multi-discipline reports. Reviews studies and reports to ensure that conclusions are technically sound, cost-effective, and clearly communicated. This position is based on a hybrid work schedule and will require in-office work 3 days per week. Qualifications We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position. Essential Skills And Experience BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Aerospace, or Structural/Civil Engineering, from an ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission-approved program, with an emphasis in solid mechanics, structural analysis, theory of elasticity, metallurgy, and finite element analysis 10 or more years of relevant experience Extensive knowledge of ASME B31.1 and ASME B&PVT Section III piping codes Knowledge of the design, selection, and application of pipe supporting elements Working knowledge of commercially available piping products and their application Strong written and verbal communication skills Valued But Not Required Skills And Experience P.E. license The ability to navigate a 3D CAD model Experience with AutoPIPE or PIPESTRESS software Knowledge of gas dynamics and hydraulic transients Knowledge of pipe condition assessment Experience with ANSYS Workbench and Mechanical ADP AI & Automation at Sargent & Lundy In this role, we expect people to be willing or able to lead others who use modern tools: You are expected to lead others in taking engineering problems from issue to solution by setting expectations for using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs. Leaders in these roles often direct automation and process‑improvement work, for example, how teams automate calculations, summarize technical documents, or generate design documentation and guiding when and how AI or agentic AI tools are used while ensuring results are checked. Overseeing engineers who program or script (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate engineering tasks, with review of automated outputs, is valued but not required. We also value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that enables effective oversight of automation and agentic AI‑enabled engineering workflows.
