The Power Plant Mechanical Engineer is responsible for all plant mechanical and process systems, including high pressure steam and feedwater, water treatment, boiler systems, turbine systems, fuel handling systems, and cooling systems that are essential to the production of steam and electricity for the University. Major equipment in these systems include Circulating Fluidized Bed Boilers, package boilers, turbine generator, demineralizers and mixed bed polishers and all other balance of plant equipment. This position is required to understand the complex processes associated with the above and to assist operations and maintenance to assure plant safety, reliability, and efficient performance. Position designs, plans, implements and analyzes the mechanical and process needs and performance of the Cogeneration Systems facilities, makes operational recommendations, provides design changes, upgrades equipment, and manages the implementation of said upgrades and design changes. This position interacts with the plant electrical and controls engineer(s) to assure processes are controlled within accepted standards to maximize plant reliability and efficiency. Error in planning for the safe and reliable operations of the facility could adversely affect the reliability and availability of steam and electrical generation and the steam distribution system. The consequence of this may result in a prolonged steam outage that would severely impact the University and UNC Hospitals. An error increases the chance of injury or fatality to students, staff, and visitors on campus, increases the University liability or risk associated with such injuries or death; and negatively impacts the completion of the University's overall education and research missions.
