About the role
- Generally responsible for supervision and technical direction over a team of engineers and designers when functioning as a lead engineer
- As lead engineer, responsibilities include total delivery of the mechanical deliverables and services on time, within performance budget and meeting quality expectations
- Duties may include performing advanced engineering work serving as a technical specialist for complex engineering assignments
- Work at this level requires extensive progressive experience in mechanical engineering and involves utilization of project controls for cost, schedule and quality of projects
- This work will be performed under minimal supervision
- Primary responsibilities will include familiarization with and utilizing 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
- Accomplishing engineering activities such as stress analysis, 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
- Responsibilities include provision of 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
- Producing designs with efficient use of construction materials with an overall emphasis on ease of construction and completed product meeting the expectations of the client
- Checking calculations made by other engineers to ensure accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria and conformance to good engineering practice
- 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”, enabling mechanical purchase inquiries to be 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
- Applying advanced engineering techniques and analysis to complex designs
- Recognize and communicate scope and design changes promptly
- Provide technical guidance to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel in the department
- Coordinate work activities with other staff members and discipline leads
- Applying advanced engineering techniques and analysis to complex designs
- Estimating and scheduling professional service hours and assessing the progress and quality of mechanical work
- 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
Requirements
