Senior Mechanical Engineer

Many of the world’s top engineers and scientists come together in our Water business because they view a community’s interaction with water a bit differently—as a single holistic system, rather than unconnected networks divided by jurisdictional boundaries. Working throughout the hydrologic cycle, we are delivering sustainable solutions to make sure water is where it should be and available when needed. Our experts guide our work with scientific rigor, an innovative spirit, and a vision for growth. Every day, we help communities improve, reuse, and protect this precious resource for future generations. By 2025 we’re hiring 2,000 people (like you) to join our team. Grow with us, H2O+U.

Your Opportunity

The role of a mechanical engineer is to work independently on smaller and larger projects, as a lead or team member under the guidance of a senior engineer. You should be able to evaluate, select, specify, and engineer systems or products for a project, and will perform a variety of tasks which may include calculations, design sketches and concepts, report preparation and field work. Projects assigned may be broad, varied and diverse in scope. You will analyze proposed projects to ensure structural reliability, resource efficiency and cost-effectiveness

Your Key Responsibilities

• Accepts responsibility for projects of average complexity and size.
• Evaluates, selects, specifies, and engineers all process mechanical systems or products for a project.
• Engages in the development of a design through sketches, electronic models, diagrams, and other visual formats.
• Utilizes technologies in development of three-dimensional models of process mechanical systems and providing markups for junior engineers/designers.
• Prepares and revises documentation in various project phases including facility layouts, diagrams, details and assisting with P&ID development.
• Leads project coordination meetings with internal team members and/or external consultants, owner and contractor, sub-contractors, and vendors.
• Participates in client project requirement meetings and value analysis and basic cost estimating.
• Assists senior engineers/designers with developing and managing the project scope, budget, staffing and schedule.
• Leads the preparation and coordination of the project specifications and construction/contract documents.
• Performs and oversees hydraulics, thermodynamics, and various mechanical calculations related to Water projects.
• Utilizes advanced techniques for the analysis of specialized process mechanical systems and alternatives related to Water Projects.
• Participates in constructability reviews.
• Conducts quality assurance and quality control on own projects.
• Assists in the development of new standards and specifications for the process mechanical group.
• Works on multiple projects with multiple disciplines.
