About the position

We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer with Power Generation experience to join our offices in Muscatine, IA, Des Moines IA, Chicago IL, Minneapolis MN, or Denver CO. This position is for a candidate with 10+ years of experience performing functions which require the application of standard mechanical engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria in performing a sequence of related engineering tasks. You will work as a discipline lead or project engineer with mentoring opportunities for building project management skills and capabilities on a variety of projects. You must have experience in the power generation industry, university central plants, industrial facilities, or related fields. Work is expected to include new plant design, existing plant retrofits and upgrades (such as liquid, gas, or steam process systems), industrial/process facilities, and other energy infrastructure projects. The projects will vary in size and location. The Senior Mechanical Engineer role is responsible for determining the technical approach, validating the design criteria, directing more junior staff, and performing detailed design tasks such as calculations, specifications, and drawing preparation. You will be expected to perform design duties with minimal supervision and have the ability to communicate effectively within a team environment. Ideally, we would like you to have some experience developing process flow diagrams, Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams, mass and energy balances, system hydraulic modeling, pipe stress analysis, and equipment sizing. Background in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer are a plus. Candidates should have some experience in applying mechanical engineering concepts, application and adherence to national codes, and means and methods for power generation or similar industries.
