The projects will consist of systems that may include: fluid transfer, heat exchange, friction loss in piping systems, designs for ultrapure/high purity water systems, specialty gas and chemical systems, solvent/acid/hazardous wastewater treatment systems or other related systems. This position will be a hybrid position, requiring occasional onsite work. 

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of detailed, optimized, and complex process systems for state-of-the-art industrial and high-tech manufacturing design-build projects. These complex systems can consist of systems that may require you to:
  • Lead the design and engineering efforts for systems including fluid transfer, heat exchange, and related systems to meet production requirements.
  • Develop and optimize water purification systems to maintain the highest level of water quality for critical manufacturing processes.
  • Analyze and mitigate friction loss in piping systems to ensure optimal fluid transfer and system performance.
  • Design and implement effective treatment systems for solvents, acids, hazardous waste, and other industrial effluents in compliance with environmental regulations.
  • Design and oversee systems for the safe handling and distribution of specialty gases and chemicals used in manufacturing.
• Develop process flow diagrams, process, and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), system layout plans, routing, equipment/system sizing and selection, and associated specification write-ups.
• Works to implement, improve, and expand the selection of new and innovative concepts and/or approaches to solve complex challenges, enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and increase productivity.
• Performs in a role to provide technical direction and guides, supports, and develops all levels of staff throughout the department, so that we meet the client’s expectations, scope, budget, and schedule.

Qualifications

• Bachelor Degree from an ABET accredited school in Chemical Engineering or technically related discipline.
• Active Professional Engineering licensure (PE) in the state of practice or the ability to obtain reciprocity within 6 months of employment is required.
• Experience designing systems that incompass fluid transfer, heat exchange, friction loss in piping systems, designs for ultrapure/high purity water systems, specialty gas and chemical systems, solvent/acid/hazardous wastewater treatment systems or other related systems.
• Knowledge of chemical process engineering principals, process engineering design, and/or facilities engineering within an industrial, semiconductor, chemical, or related industries.
• Experience working with AutoCAD (or similar CAD system) and Revit is required. Experience with PIPE-FLO, and/or other systems is a plus.
• Demonstrated organizational skills, ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, and ability to react to shifting priorities to meet business needs and deadlines.
• Experience performing field verifications and site walks to identify, verify, resolve, and incorporate solutions into design packages. Ability to troubleshoot design problems in the field.
• Salary Range: $100,000 - $160,000/year depending on location, education, experience, and any certifications that are directly related to the position.
• Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, 401K retirement savings plan (with company matching), opportunities for professional development and training, PTO, & paid holidays.
