Engineer Management Consultant I

Role Overview

• Generally responsible for supervision and technical direction over a team of engineers and designers when functioning as a lead engineer
• As lead engineer, responsibilities include total delivery of the mechanical deliverables and services on time, within performance budget and meeting quality expectations
• Duties may include performing advanced engineering work serving as a technical specialist for complex engineering assignments
• Work at this level requires extensive progressive experience in mechanical engineering and involves utilization of project controls for cost, schedule and quality of projects
• This work will be performed under minimal supervision
• Primary responsibilities will include familiarization 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
• Calculations produced will be neatly prepared and organized for efficient checking by others and efficient use by drafters/designers for preparing drawings and as a deliverable when required
• Assisting the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems
• Responsibilities include provision of sufficient sketches and details necessary for completion of engineering drawings
• 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
• Producing designs with efficient use of construction materials with an overall emphasis on ease of construction and completed product meeting the expectations of the client
• Checking calculations made by other engineers to ensure accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria and conformance to good engineering practice
• 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
• Developing construction specifications
• 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
• Applying advanced engineering techniques and analysis to complex designs
• Recognize and communicate scope and design changes promptly
• Provide technical guidance to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel in the department
• Coordinate work activities with other staff members and discipline leads
• Applying advanced engineering techniques and analysis to complex designs
• Estimating and scheduling professional service hours and assessing the progress and quality of mechanical work
• Complete understanding of the skills and experience required to perform engineering and design functions
• Ability to identify and develop work sharing packages for interoffice execution support
• Provide leadership to ensure communication and execution of work within scope, schedule and budget

Requirements

• Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university is required
• Professional Engineering registration is highly preferred
