*** Familiarity with and utilizing department design and drafting standards.
* Familiarity with project scope, specifications and design criteria upon assignment to a project task team.
* On-site assistance during startup.
* Accomplishing engineering activities such as stress analysis, construction specifications, material procurement specifications, calculations and piping estimates.
* Developing conceptual layouts and cost studies as necessary to determine the simplest, most efficient approach to solving engineering tasks at hand.
* Producing estimate level preliminary designs and material take-offs suitable for the level of the estimate being performed on a project.
* Producing detail design calculations and sketches for materials of construction associated with the project.
* Assisting the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems.
* Consulting with design leaders from other disciplines to ensure the smooth flow of vital information necessary for the scheduled completion of the project.
* Reviewing and checking vendor drawings and other discipline drawings for mechanical input.
* Advising the senior engineer concerning design or scope changes, which have been identified.
* Assisting other engineers in developing and assembling scopes, drawings and specifications into a “package”, enabling mechanical purchase inquiries to be issued for procurement of equipment, materials or subcontract pricing.
* Reviewing fabrication drawings and other construction submittals for conformance to engineering drawings and specifications.
* Performing fieldwork necessary to gather field data, check tie-ins and provide construction support.
* Provide technical guidance to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel in the department.
* Knowledgeable of the discipline specific methods, practices and techniques required to engineer, design and construct process and manufacturing projects.
