Job description

Chemical/Mechanical Engineer I
Location: Remote (Local to Twin Cities Metro)
Employment Terms: Permanent, Full-Time, Salary
Travel: Up to 15%
About C-P Systems
Established in 1995 from 3M's Chemical Division, C-P Systems is a process mechanical engineering consulting firm specializing in piping design, P&ID development, process engineering, laser scanning, and construction documentation for industrial clients across the United States.
We're a team of engineers and support staff who take pride in doing things right. Our low turnover reflects a culture built on trust, long-term relationships, and a genuine commitment to quality for our customers and for each other. We're in an active growth phase, diversifying our customer base and building the internal infrastructure to support it.
About the Role
We are seeking a motivated entry-level Chemical or Mechanical Engineer to support the design, development, and implementation of industrial process systems. This role provides an excellent opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers on projects from initial process design through construction, startup, and commissioning. The successful candidate will assist in process modeling, equipment sizing, instrumentation development, and preparation of construction bid packages while gaining hands-on experience in project execution and field support.
This role will initially be hybrid, with travel to our office in Vadnais Heights on a regular schedule during on-boarding and training. Once fully trained and able to work independently, the position will be allowed to move to fully remote, while attendance in the office is optional, if desired.
Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) for new and existing process systems
  • Perform engineering calculations and size process equipment including pumps, heat exchangers, condensers, pressure relief devices, and related components
  • Conduct fluid flow modeling and hydraulic analyses to determine appropriate sizing of piping systems, process equipment, valves, and instrumentation
  • Prepare instrument, valve, and equipment lists, along with equipment data sheets to support project design and execution
  • Coordinate with equipment and instrumentation vendors to obtain technical information and quotations
  • Support development of process control philosophies and provide input on control logic, automation requirements, and process safety systems
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary design teams to develop 3D process layouts and detailed engineering packages
  • Contribute to the preparation of complete mechanical bid packages suitable for contractor pricing and construction
  • Provide construction, installation, commissioning, and startup support to ensure systems are installed and operate as intended
  • Participate in field inspections, troubleshooting, and process optimization activities during project execution
  • Travel as necessary to customer sites domestically for project support, including data collection, site walkdowns, and project meetings

Qualifications
  • B.S. Chemical Engineering preferred, Mechanical or Industrial Engineering considered with the correct supplemental experience
  • 0-2 years of prior experience in a chemical manufacturing (or similar) environment
  • Strong communication skills
  • Acute attention to detail
  • US Citizenship (required by some of our customers for certain intellectual property)
  • Familiarity with CAD software (i.e. AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.) a plus
  • Previous plant experience preferred

Compensation
Rate: $70,000 - $80,000 / yr
Benefits:
  • Health insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Retirement plan (401K, profit-sharing)
  • Paid time off
  • Professional development assistance

Why Join Us
At C-P Systems, our objective is to hire for the long-term to provide consistency for our customers and to maintain alignment with our company values. This focus results in exceptional employee satisfaction and retention.
While experience is recognized, a person's drive to improve things and take real ownership of their work matters just as much. This role has clear scope today and real room to grow as we build out our financial infrastructure. You'll have direct access to ownership, a Business Administrator and IT staff who want to collaborate, and the latitude to make meaningful improvements to processes that affect how the whole company operates.
We offer a flexible and collaborative work environment that embraces current tools and a genuine commitment to work/life balance. We look for self-directed people who can deliver results while staying curious about how to do things better.
