About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop complete project design packages, including 3D CAD models, fabrication drawings, and material take-offs for heavy industrial equipment and ducting systems
Design large-scale hot exhaust and flue gas ducting, including casings, transitions, and structural plate components for pollution control applications
Evaluate project inputs independently, identify missing or conflicting information, and drive resolution with Project Engineering, Sales, Supply Chain, and Project Management
Apply structural and mechanical design principles for thermal expansion, operating temperature, mechanical loading, and cyclic service
Develop fabrication-ready details considering material selection, plate thickness, weld joint configuration, and shop versus field fabrication constraints
Coordinate ducting interfaces with SCR reactors, stacks, dampers, expansion joints, and related pollution control and process equipment
Produce drawings for customer approval, material procurement, and fabrication, considering constructability, installation sequencing, and maintenance access
Collaborate with Sales, Project Engineering, and Project Management to meet contractual requirements, technical standards, and project schedules
Perform and verify geometric and material calculations for design accuracy and material take-offs
Review peer drawings and models for accuracy, consistency, and adherence to internal standards
Provide technical feedback and guidance as appropriate
Support document control, revision management, and issuance of project drawings to customers and fabricators
Contribute to continuous improvement of drafting standards, modeling practices, and design workflows
