Mechanical Engineering Lead — Capital Projects & Process Equipment

Imagine this:

You start your day on the shop floor in Ogden, UT, where a critical piece of process equipment is due for a major upgrade. Operations needs uptime, Quality needs compliance, and Safety needs assurance. You coordinate stakeholders, run a quick FEA in ANSYS to validate a design tweak, finalize the spec, and lead the team through installation, testing, and qualification—keeping everything aligned with nuclear-industry standards.

That’s the impact you’ll have as our Mechanical Engineering Lead.
