Process Mechanical Engineer

** What You'll Be Doing*
* ** Job Scope:
** Generally responsible for conceptual through detailed design for manufacturing facilities in the biopharmaceutical and specialty chemical industries. Responsible for coordinating and specifying both upstream and downstream process equipment as well as collaborating with all engineering disciplines. Responsible for supporting the procurement of process systems for technical reviews, equipment inspection and construction support. This work will be performed in an engineering environment that requires knowledge with ASME BPE standards, FDA/GMP compliance and other international standards.

This work will be performed under general supervision.

** Primary responsibilities will include but not be limited to:*
* + Familiarity with 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, as needed.

+ Accomplishing engineering activities such as 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.

+ Advising the senior engineer concerning design or scope changes, which have been identified.

+ Assisting other engineers in developing and assembling scopes, drawings and specifications into a "package" for mechanical purchase inquiries 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.

+ Knowledgeable of the discipline specific methods, practices and techniques required to engineer, design and construct process and manufacturing projects.

+ Recognize and communicate scope and design changes promptly.

+ Coordinate work activities with other teammates and the discipline lead.

+ Applying advanced engineering techniques and analysis to complex designs.

+ Complete understanding of the skills and experience required to perform engineering and design functions.

+ Ability to identify and develop work sharing packages for interoffice execution support. Provide leadership to ensure communication and execution of work within scope, schedule and budget.
