Senior Mechanical Engineer - Gas Power Generation

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer
- Gas Power Generation, you’ll perform advanced engineering design, analysis, and technical oversight across assigned projects and disciplines, operating as a key technical contributor delivering safe, economical, and code-compliant designs. The Senior Mechanical Engineer
- Gas Power Generation manages working relationships with Owners, Engineers of Record (EOR), and third-party engineering firms, provides mentorship and technical leadership to junior engineering staff, and is expected to communicate deliberately and purposefully, manage multiple concurrent projects, and maintain design quality and schedule conformance across all phases of the engineering lifecycle.

• Leads across the applicable engineering lifecycle —pre-construction estimating, bid-phase design, and project award or project award, design delivery, construction support, and closeout — with emphasis on schedule conformance and financial impact at each phase.
• Supports pre-bid site assessments and constructability reviews to identify risks and opportunities prior to project award.
• Ensures designs satisfy the power plant’s design requirements through compliance with local, state, and international building codes, Owner contracts, and company best practices.
• Delivers designs that provide the most economical solution to satisfy project requirements.
• Responsible for Basis of Design (BOD) development and RFI management for assigned projects and disciplines.
• Leads drawing and design reviews to ensure designs meet industry standards, Blattner’s best practices/Standards, and support safe work practices in the field.
• Performs equipment and material quantity takeoffs; ensures accuracy and completeness and validates outputs before submission.
• Coordinates with other Engineers and discipline leads to establish design schedules, resource plans, and cross-discipline coordination across estimating and project phases.
• Coordinates with owners and EOR teams on engineering submittal milestones, review timelines, procurement deliverables, page turns and AHJ outreach.
• Leads contract and subcontract reviews and provides technical recommendations. Escalates high-risk issues to Manager and Director leadership as appropriate.
• Leads coordination with Integrated Supply Chain (ISC), Estimating, and Construction teams on equipment and material selection, vetting, and approval.
• Collaborates across company departments, vendors, and outside engineering firms to explore innovative ideas, methods, materials, and technologies that promote safety, lower cost, and increase efficiency.
• Partners with construction management teams to facilitate design understanding as construction commences; ensures field teams have the plans, quantities, and parameters needed to build.
• Communicates deliberately, intentionally, and purposefully with owners, EOR teams, estimating personnel, project engineering staff, and other internal stakeholders across all phases of work.
• Adheres to the company’s cultural basics and the National Society of Professional Engineers’ code of conduct. Solves problems using factual evidence and sustainable solutions that are safe, transparent, and documentable.
• Champions change management discipline — ensures scope changes, quantity changes, and design deviations are clearly documented, communicated through change narratives, and resolved at the appropriate level.
• Captures and shares lessons learned, providing feedback to both estimating and project engineering teams to continuously improve design quality and proposal competitiveness.
• Mentors, trains, and onboards Engineer I/II staff; builds skill sets through deliberate coaching, feedback, career development conversations, and work product review.
