Project work can include alterations and redevelopment on a variety of project types - process, corporate, industrial, manufacturing, government and military facilities. The senior mechanical engineer coordinates with internal and external parties, manages multiple complex tasks, establishes priorities, and coordinates with others. The senior mechanical engineer may work independently or at the direction of the project manager or department manager. The senior mechanical engineer collaborates with designers and engineering support staff (both domestic and international) to meet client expectations and project goals.

　　Lead mechanical facility design from conceptual phase through design completion. Types of facilities include, but are not limited to, industrial food & beverage and consumer products facilities and the supporting office spaces.

　　Lead mechanical facility design for project phase-specific deliverables, which include, but are not limited to: airflow diagrams, HVAC zoning plan, pressurization map, HVAC and process utility sequence of operations, process utility summaries, piping & instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), equipment list, line list, instrument list, tie-point list, HVAC layout drawings, plumbing layout drawings, demolition drawings, general arrangements, permit-required drawings, and piping design.

　　Perform on-site utility audits for systems including, but not limited to: natural gas, domestic cold/hot water, compressed gas, glycol, steam, process/sanitary/storm plumbing, and HVAC.

　　Prepare mechanical and packaged equipment/instrumentation/piping specifications and data sheets, request for qualifications (RFQs), technical bid summaries, and purchase recommendations.

　　Review vendor drawings and provide data interface with suppliers, clients, other engineering disciplines, detailers, and designers.

　　Coordinate and support construction management to develop subcontractor packages (i.e., millwrights/equipment setters, piping, insulation, field-fabricated equipment).

　　Provide field support, including inspection, installation supervision, commissioning support, and startup assistance on critical equipment.

　　Prepare and present technical reports for clients and industry publications.

　　Conduct studies and evaluations for projects in early development.

　　Build effective relationships with existing clients, customers, and contractors, and develop new business opportunities. Ensure that customer satisfaction goals and expectations are met.

　　Participate in sales and marketing efforts, and identify key pursuits.

　　Support the development of project schedule, scope, budget, labor-hour buildups, staffing, and construction planning.
