The Mechanical / Manufacturing Engineer works closely with facility, process, manufacturing, and operations teams to ensure plant systems are reliable, maintainable, safe, and compliant with applicable codes and standards. Responsibilities may span early design through installation, commissioning, and operational support.

Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and support mechanical and manufacturing systems related to plant infrastructure and utilities, including but not limited to piping systems, HVAC, ventilation, compressed air, chilled water, process water, chemical distribution, exhaust systems, structural components, and material handling support systems.
  • Create engineering designs and documentation, including requirements, specifications, mechanical drawings, calculations, process flow diagrams (PFDs), and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), as applicable.
  • Support facility layout development and integration of mechanical and utility systems into new and existing buildings.
  • Perform system sizing, load calculations, equipment selection, and layout development for mechanical and utility systems.
  • Coordinate with process, facility, and manufacturing teams to ensure mechanical systems meet operational and production requirements.
  • Develop equipment specifications and support procurement of mechanical components such as pumps, motors, drives, heat exchangers, valves, piping components, and support structures.
  • Work with vendors, fabricators, and contractors to support equipment fabrication, installation, and commissioning.
  • Support installation, startup, and commissioning activities, including inspections, testing, and verification of design intent.
  • Perform engineering analyses to support system reliability, maintainability, energy efficiency, and cost optimization.
  • Develop standard operating procedures and maintenance plans for mechanical and utility systems.
  • Support troubleshooting and resolution of mechanical and utility system issues impacting facility or production operations.
  • Participate in hazard analyses, safety reviews, and design reviews related to mechanical systems and utilities.
  • Ensure mechanical designs and installations comply with applicable codes, standards, and safety requirements.
  • Contribute to the development of standardized engineering workflows, specifications, and documentation practices.
  • Maintain professional communication and documentation standards.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers and technical staff as appropriate.
  • Perform other duties as assigned by management.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or a related discipline from an ABET EAC–accredited program is required.
  • 5 years or more of relevant work experience is preferred. Advanced degrees may be in lieu of some years of experience.
  • CAD and P&ID experience are required.
  • Experience in mechanical, manufacturing, facility, or utility system design and support, including equipment specification, procurement, installation, and operation, is required.
  • Knowledge of mechanical engineering principles related to piping, HVAC, utilities, and industrial systems.
  • Experience working in manufacturing, industrial, or regulated environments is preferred.
  • Knowledge of applicable mechanical codes and standards is required.
  • Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles and facility design approaches is preferred.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
  • Experience with 2D and or 3D engineering and manufacturing tools such as AutoCAD, ProE, or similar software.

Benefits:

All eligible employees enjoy an excellent benefits package, including medical/dental/vision insurance, short/long-term disability, life insurance, 401(k), paid time off including holidays, and tuition reimbursement.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
