• Utilize version control and change management protocols to track design revisions and maintain project records in compliance with company policies.
• Communicate effectively with cross-disciplinary teams, clients, and contractors through clear, concise technical reports, meeting presentations, and written correspondence.
• Conduct site walks to validate equipment installation, perform field inspections, and inform corrective action plans.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate machine design within overall facility layouts, referencing PIDs, PFDs, and utility schematics to ensure seamless system compatibility.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of manufacturing technologies, automation trends, and emerging design tools relevant to machine design and material handling.
• Assist in the development of project-specific documentation including BOMs, equipment data sheets, and maintenance manuals.
• Contribute to risk management by identifying potential design or operational hazards and suggesting mitigation strategies during design phases.
• Lead the mechanical design and development of machinery and automated material handling equipment, applying AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor for detailed 3D modeling and 2D fabrication drawings.
• Participate in interdisciplinary design review sessions, incorporating feedback from project management, discipline leads, and client representatives to maintain alignment and manage scope changes.
• Develop design packages for machinery, incorporating ductwork and support structures as specified.

Requirements

• Familiarity with other design software such as Navisworks or Plant 3D software and its application in piping and equipment utilities design.
• Familiar with process and utility layouts, referencing PFDs, PIDs, and plant utility systems to coordinate machine interfaces effectively.
• Prior involvement in mentoring junior designers or engineers, promoting best practices and continuous improvement.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills capable of producing technically rigorous documentation and effectively presenting complex concepts.
• Exposure to process piping design, including familiarity with ASME B31.3 code and equipment utility systems such as compressed air, chilled water, or vacuum.
• Minimum 7 years of mechanical design experience specializing in machine design and material handling equipment within the manufacturing or industrial sectors.
• Proficient in AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor for 3D modeling, detail drawings, and fabrication documentation.
• Experience collaborating with project managers, discipline leads, engineers, and other designers in a multidisciplinary AEC/EPC environment.
• Solid understanding of mechanical design calculations related to load analysis, stress, deflection, and weld integrity.
• Knowledge of fabrication and assembly processes, commissioning/startup support, and constructability reviews in industrial projects.
• Demonstrated expertise designing fabrication weldments and structural supports compliant with AWS D1.1 and ANSI machinery safety standards.
• Detail-oriented with a proven track record of meeting quality and safety standards under tight project schedules.
• Experience with SolidWorks as an alternative CAD platform.
• Strong cost and schedule awareness that contributes to value engineering and optimization efforts on projects.

Benefits

• Salary Range: $85,000 - $90,000/year depending on location, education, experience, and any certifications that are directly related to the position. Opportunity for ample rewards and generous bonus opportunities.
• Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, 401K retirement savings plan (with company matching), opportunities for professional development and training, generous PTO & paid holidays.
