Mechanical Designer

This role offers an opportunity for an experienced Mechanical Designer / Project Specialist to support custom industrial equipment, pump systems, rotating equipment, repair projects, and manufacturing operations. You will combine mechanical design, project coordination, production support, and hands‑on troubleshooting while managing customer and internal jobs from release through completion. You will ensure that drawings, materials, schedules, fabrication, assembly, inspection, and all project requirements stay aligned.

This is not a desk‑only CAD position; you will regularly collaborate with Engineering, Operations, Purchasing, Sales, and shop personnel to solve problems and keep multiple projects moving. A four‑year engineering degree is not required, as practical experience in industrial, manufacturing, pump, fabrication, or engineered‑equipment environments is highly valued.

• Coordinate industrial projects and work orders from initial release through production and completion.
• Review, interpret, modify, and redline engineering drawings, blueprints, and technical specifications to ensure accuracy and manufacturability.
• Create or update mechanical drawings using Solid Works, CAD, or similar mechanical design software.
• Support projects involving pumps, seals, rotating equipment, fabricated components, and mechanical assemblies.
• Monitor job priorities, production schedules, material requirements, and overall project status to keep work on track.
• Identify workflow bottlenecks and help resolve mechanical, production, or scheduling issues in a timely manner.
• Work directly with shop personnel during staging, fabrication, assembly, inspection, troubleshooting, and project execution.
• Coordinate project requirements and updates across Engineering, Operations, Purchasing, Sales, and production teams to maintain alignment.
• Translate shop‑floor findings, field measurements, or existing components into drawing revisions and updated documentation when required.
• Maintain accurate and up‑to‑date project documentation, including drawings, specifications, and work‑order information.
• Support and promote safe, organized, and quality‑focused shop and production practices.
• Use ERP or similar systems to assist with project coordination, scheduling, and documentation as needed.

• 35 years of experience within a mechanical, manufacturing, industrial, fabrication, or engineered‑equipment environment.
• Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to understand industrial equipment and mechanical systems.
• Advanced ability to read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, and technical specifications.
• Experience drafting, modifying, or redlining mechanical drawings using Solid Works, CAD, or similar mechanical design software.
• Experience coordinating complex projects, work orders, production schedules, or manufacturing activities.
• Strong understanding of shop operations, manufacturing workflows, and job scheduling.
• Ability to troubleshoot mechanical and production problems and determine practical, effective solutions.
• Ability to manage multiple jobs and changing priorities in a fast‑paced production environment.
• Comfort working both in an office setting and directly on the shop floor.
• Ability to coordinate work across multiple departments without direct supervisory authority.
• Strong communication, organization, documentation, and general computer skills.

• Experience with pump repair, engineered pump systems, seals, or rotating equipment.
• Experience reverse engineering mechanical components or assemblies.
• Experience translating field or shop measurements into drawings or design revisions.
• Hands‑on exposure to…
