Responsibilities:

Chemical/Mechanical Designer

Overview:

As a Mechanical Designer, you will be working at a cutting-edge manufacturing plant in Hillsboro, Oregon. You will be instrumental in expanding and optimizing facility operations to meet growing production needs. This position offers a dynamic work environment where you'll collaborate closely with engineers, project coordinators, and construction trades. Your work will involve drafting as-built pipe and equipment layouts to record drawings, driving the operational excellence of the plant. Engaging in on-site work is a pivotal part of this role, where you'll be tasked with assessing existing field conditions and spearheading the implementation of field observations and field verifications to current systems. You'll leverage tools like AutoCAD/REVIT for detailed 2D/3D drawing packages that bring our visions to life. With a blend of hands-on fieldwork and meticulous measurements, this role provides a constantly evolving set of challenges and opportunities for professional growth. As a mechanical representative on a multidiscipline design team, you will work directly with other design staff, client equipment owners, stakeholders, and equipment manufacturers of next-generation and prototype tools to build utility requirement documents to allow the development of installation design packages. You will interact directly with clients and contractors throughout the design process and assist with RFI and submittal services on site during the construction phase.
