Mechanical Project Engineer

Job Description

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Project Engineer.

Summary:
The Project Engineer will support and execute engineering and project delivery tasks for wastewater conveyance systems and industrial conveyor equipment (screw conveyors) used in wastewater/sludge/solids handling applications. The ideal candidate bridges detailed technical engineering, project coordination, and customer interface - working from concept through design, fabrication, start-up, and commissioning.

Position Tasks & Responsibilities:
• Interpret customer requirements and specifications for wastewater conveyance or solids-handling conveyor systems; translate into engineering deliverables (drawings, specs, layouts, general arrangement).

• Perform engineering calculations, selection of equipment (motors, drives, conveyance components), and material sizing (structural supports, load calculations, drive sizing) for conveyor systems.

• Prepare project scopes, cost estimates, schedules, and budgets; track progress against them.

• Review and approve equipment/submittal drawings, vendor proposals, shop drawings, and fabrication documents.

• Coordinate with manufacturing/fabrication, purchasing, field installation, and commissioning teams to ensure project milestones are met and quality expectations are achieved.

• Provide technical support in the field (shop visits, installation supervision, start-up, commissioning, testing).

• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements relevant to wastewater systems (e.g., hydraulic conveyance, solids handling, environmental/municipal standards) and conveyor design codes.

• Interface with customers, contractors, and internal teams; provide status updates, manage change orders, and resolve technical issues.

• Maintain project documentation (engineering files, change logs, factory test reports) and ensure proper handover for operation/maintenance.

Required:

• Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering
• 3 plus years of engineering experience in wastewater systems, conveyance systems or industrial conveyor equipment design.
• Experience with design, fabrication, installations and commissioning of industrial conveyors or wastewater conveyance systems (e.g. pipelines, pumps, solid handling conveyors)
• Experience in conveyor load calculations, motor/drive sizing, and material handling design.
• Project Engineering or Project management experience preferably interacting with customers and managing multi-disciplinary teams.
• CAD Proficiency with AutoCAD and 3D Design tools (Solidworks or inventor)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
