Mechanical Engineer III

What You'll Be Doing Job Scope:

• Familiarity with and utilizing department design and drafting standards.
• Familiarity with project scope, specifications and design criteria upon assignment to a project task team.
• On-site assistance during startup.
• Accomplishing engineering activities such as stress analysis, construction specifications, material procurement specifications, calculations and piping estimates.
• Developing conceptual layouts and cost studies as necessary to determine the simplest, most efficient approach to solving engineering tasks at hand.
• Producing estimate level preliminary designs and material take-offs suitable for the level of the estimate being performed on a project.
• Producing detail design calculations and sketches for materials of construction associated with the project.
• Calculations produced will be neatly prepared and organized for efficient checking by others and efficient use by drafters/designers for preparing drawings and as a deliverable when required.
• Assisting the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems.
• It is your responsibility to furnish sufficient sketches and details necessary for completion of engineering drawings.
• Consulting with design leaders from other disciplines to ensure the smooth flow of vital information necessary for the scheduled completion of the project.
• Reviewing and checking vendor drawings and other discipline drawings for mechanical input.
• Producing designs with efficient use of construction materials with an overall emphasis on ease of construction and completed product meeting the expectations of the client.
• Checking calculations made by other engineers to ensure accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria and conformance to good engineering practice.
• Advising the senior engineering concerning design or scope changes, which have been identified.
• Assisting other engineers in developing and assembling scopes, drawings and specifications into a “package”, enabling mechanical purchase inquiries to be issued for procurement of equipment, materials or subcontract pricing.
• Developing construction specifications.
• Reviewing fabrication drawings and other construction submittals for conformance to engineering drawings and specifications.
• Performing fieldwork necessary to gather field data, check tie-ins and provide construction support.
• Provide technical guidance to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel in the department.
• Applying advanced engineering techniques and analysis to complex designs.
• Developing small work sharing packages for interoffice execution support.

• Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university is required.
