Mid-Level Mechanical Designer - Kiewit Power Engineering

Summary

Kiewit is an employee-owned engineering and construction company serving the power generation and infrastructure markets through EPC expertise and large-scale projects. The Mid-Level Mechanical Designer will develop piping, mechanical equipment, systems designs, layouts, and 3D models for power-generating plants, carbon capture plants, and related facilities. The role also involves checking design deliverables, coordinating with project teams, supporting project schedules, and mentoring junior staff.

Responsibilities

• Draft sketches, piping and instrument diagrams (P&IDs), plans, sections and details, drawings, equipment layout, and design/model in 3D for power plant systems which could include: steam cycle systems, boiler feed and condensate, water treatment, fuel handling, hydraulic, heat transfer systems, conveying systems, rotating equipment (generators) systems, and Balance of plant systems (compressed air and gas systems, service water, HVAC). Designs include equipment layout and complete mechanical systems, including checking interferences and constructability
• Check design deliverables in accordance with industry codes and standards, contract requirements, and company standards
• Adhere to schedules and work assignments to ensure successful project completion
• Coordinate with other drafters, designers and other team members assigned to a project or task, and support work progress and results
• Train and advise interns or new graduates
• Require little to no supervision required to apply standard correctly to design
• Seek feedback and use it effectively. Works efficiently as an individual contributor as well as part of a larger design team
• Identify changes in the scope of work during a small project and produces design changes as needed to stay within budget and schedule
• Take the initiative to meet or exceed the quality and expected outcome requirements of internal and external customers
• Complete miscellaneous tasks to support project development
• Participate in project meetings as required
