About the Role
Fermi America is hiring a senior Mechanical Engineer to support on-site execution for gas-fired power plant construction. This role is part of a small on-site engineering team responsible for reviewing designs, identifying improvements, ensuring what’s being built makes sense, and overseeing field progress.
This is not a desk-only design role—we need practical mechanical engineers with strong field experience who can troubleshoot real issues, challenge incorrect assumptions, and keep work moving safely and efficiently.
Nuclear experience is a plus
, but the top priority is deep mechanical construction experience.
- Review mechanical designs for constructability, access, installation sequencing, and maintainability
- Identify improvements and proactively resolve issues before they impact schedule or rework
- Provide technical oversight in the field for:
- piping installation, supports, valves, and system tie-ins
- equipment setting/alignment and vendor interfaces
- balance-of-plant systems (water, air, fuel gas, auxiliary systems)
- Coordinate with EPC/subcontractors on RFIs, installation constraints, and change requests
- Support mechanical QA/QC and turnover readiness (flushing, hydrotests, punch lists)
- Participate in walkdowns and readiness reviews to ensure system completion supports commissioning
- Help drive accountability and ensure field execution matches design intent and project requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
- 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience supporting industrial/power construction
- Strong ability to interpret P&IDs, isometrics, vendor drawings, and installation specs
- Proven ability to work directly with contractors and field teams to solve problems quickly
Strong communication skills and ownership mindset
- Gas-fired power plant or combined cycle experience
- Rotating equipment systems familiarity
- Nuclear experience (construction discipline, QA expectations, design review rigor)
