Essential Duties & Responsibilities:
Mechanical Design and System Integration: Lead the mechanical design of UPW and
wastewater treatment systems, including the selection and sizing of equipment such as
process vessels, pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, dewatering devices, and other
mechanical components. Ensure seamless integration of these components into the overall
treatment system.
Equipment Specification and Procurement: Prepare technical specifications for mechanical
equipment and work with vendors to procure the required components. Evaluate equipment
proposals and make recommendations based on technical and budgetary considerations.
Project Planning and Execution: Collaborate with project managers and other engineering
disciplines to plan and execute UPW and wastewater treatment projects. Participate in project
meetings, design reviews, and progress assessments to ensure project objectives are met.
Mechanical Engineering Analysis: Perform engineering calculations, simulations, and
modeling to assess the performance and reliability of mechanical systems. Address technical
challenges and propose solutions to optimize system performance.
Quality Control and Compliance: Ensure that all mechanical designs and installations comply
with applicable codes, standards, and industry best practices. Conduct quality control reviews
to verify design integrity and safety.
Cost Estimation and Budget Management: Collaborate with the project team to prepare cost
estimates for mechanical components and equipment. Identify cost-saving opportunities
where applicable.
Skills & Experiences required:
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.
Significant experience (typically 10+ years) in mechanical engineering with expertise in water
and/or wastewater treatment systems.
Proficiency in mechanical design software and engineering analysis tools.
Strong understanding of various mechanical components and equipment used in water and/or
wastewater treatment systems.
The ability to handle multiple tasks and priorities.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively within cross-functional
teams.
