Join us and you will be in a lead role of the technical support in the design development, application, evaluation, recommendation, and specification of engineered systems or products for process mechanical system (wastewater treatment plant, water treatment plant, pump stations, etc.)
As the Mechanical Engineer, you’ll lead process and mechanical engineering teams in the design of municipal water and wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations. You’ll provide technical leadership in the area of process mechanical engineering both locally and regionally and advocate the use of advance engineering and automation tools in the design. You’ll provide design coordination between multiple engineering disciplines and expert advice to internal and external clients, including performing process and equipment condition assessments at water and wastewater treatment facilities and pumping stations. You will continue to gain experience and lead junior staff members on all phases of design and construction document preparation including mechanical process calculations, design, design reports, mechanical equipment condition assessment, specification writing, drawings development, cost estimation, participating in client design review meetings/workshops. Your role will also include project tender and construction tasks typically associated with the role of a consulting engineer including engaging with the supply authorities, responding to requests from contractors and clients, reviewing shop drawings, preparing site instructions and change orders, and regular site visits. You will play an active role in project proposal preparation and support Jacobs’ marketing team where you will lead the mechanical aspects of the proposal documents.
You’ll be working mainly from home (unless you prefer coming into the office), with the expectation to travel for client /site meetings and occasional team meetings.
