Mid-Level Mechanical Designer - Kiewit Power Engineering

Requisition : 180481

Job Level: Mid Level

Home District/Group: Kiewit Power Engineering

Department: Drafting & Design

Market: Power

Employment Type: Full Time

We are an innovative team of engineers and designers that support a diverse set of projects in the power market. As a Mechanical Designer with us, you will be responsible for developing detailed piping and mechanical equipment and systems designs, layouts and 3D models for power generating plants, carbon capture plants and other related facilities. You could be involved in designing any or all of the following: steam cycle systems, boiler feed and condensate systems, water treatment, fuel handling, hydraulic, heat transfer systems, conveying systems, or air and gas systems.

This position can be based in any of the following office locations:
Lenexa, KS;
Lone Tree, CO;
New York City, NY; or Woodcliff Lake, NJ.

• Draft sketches, piping and instrument diagrams (P&IDs), plans, sections and details, drawings, equipment layout, and design/model in 3D for power plant systems which could include: steam cycle systems, boiler feed and condensate, water treatment, fuel handling, hydraulic, heat transfer systems, conveying systems, rotating equipment (generators) systems, and Balance of plant systems (compressed air and gas systems, service water, HVAC). Designs include equipment layout and complete mechanical systems, including checking interferences and constructability.
• Check design deliverables in accordance with industry codes and standards, contract requirements, and company standards.
• Adhere to schedules and work assignments to ensure successful project completion.
• Coordinate with other drafters, designers and other team members assigned to a project or task, and support work progress and results.
• Train and advise interns or new graduates.
• Require little to no supervision required to apply standard correctly to design.
• Seek feedback and use it effectively. Works efficiently as an individual contributor as well as part of a larger design team.
• Identify changes in the scope of work during a small project and produces design changes as needed to stay within budget and schedule.
• Take the initiative to meet or exceed the quality and expected outcome requirements of internal and external customers.
• Complete miscellaneous tasks to support project development. Participate in project meetings as required.

• At least 3 years’ experience in Design and/or Drafting disciplines with a background in Piping and/or mechanical equipment and systems design in a 3D modeling environment. Power generation experience is preferred.
• Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Drafting/Design or engineering preferred; minimum High school or GED Diploma.
• Experience utilizing 3D programs such as Micro Station, AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, Smart
  
  Plant3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D, Autodesk, Open Plant or similar programs as well as knowledge and experience using latest computer operating systems and office software. Able to utilize software to check for interferences and constructability in designs.
• Must have experience conceptualizing designs/models in a 2D/3D environment designing similar mechanical systems and equipment as outlined above. Experience designing and modeling piping and equipment layouts in the Power market (power generation – thermal, hydroelectric, wind/solar, geothermal) highly desired but will consider candidates with strong mechanical design skills in other Industrial processing markets, or Oil and Gas/Chemical plants. Experience creating P&'s, plot plans and drawings for construction packages.
• Ability to work in a growing, adaptive and multi-disciplined team environment.
• Ability to work independently with limited direction and oversight.

• While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to sit, walk, talk and hear.
• Employee must occasionally lift and/or move computers, documents and books up to 30 pounds similar to those normally found in an engineering office environment.
