Job description

#jobalert | DIRECT HIRE | MECHANICAL ENGINEER | INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING | Columbus, OH area

Our client manufactures custom-engineered equipment for oil & gas applications and advanced manufacturing facilities. They're opening a new fabrication facility in central Ohio and need an on-site Mechanical Engineer to stand it up — fixturing and structural setup through steady-state production engineering. Ground-floor role, backed by established engineering teams at their other plants.

  • Anticipated $110K-$150K, dependent on experience level
  • Full suite of benefits: Health/Dental/Vision, HSA, Life, etc.
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead engineering support for the buildout of a newly opened fabrication facility, including fixturing for machining, structural work, and jigs and fixtures.
  • Evaluate customer-supplied data (3D CAD files, drawings, scopes of work, quality documents) to define engineering requirements for quoting and detailed design.
  • Develop and redline P&IDs to communicate project requirements to estimating and drafting.
  • Perform equipment sizing calculations and code calculations for pressure vessels, piping, control valves, relief valves, and pressure regulators.
  • Review and approve 3D models and drawings for assigned projects.
  • Own assigned projects from the proposal/quote stage through detailed engineering and into fabrication support at the new facility.
  • Transition into the broader engineering team's standard project work as the new facility reaches steady-state operation.

Skills & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Petroleum, Electrical, or Instrumentation Engineering from an ABET-accredited university — or equivalent hands-on design/engineering experience for candidates with 15+ years in the field.
  • 3-5+ years of engineering experience in a manufacturing environment producing engineered-to-order equipment.
  • Working knowledge of ASME, API, NFPA, and ANSI codes and standards.
  • Experience specifying and designing process control systems combining pneumatic, electro-mechanical, and electronic devices.
  • Experience applying NFPA requirements for electrical area classification.
  • Willing and able to work on-site full-time at a new facility, with no remote or hybrid arrangement.
  • Comfort working across disciplines — mechanical, process, and enough structural/electrical judgment to keep a project moving without handoffs to multiple specialists.
  • Experience owning a project from proposal/quote through fabrication support, rather than handing it off after design.

KEYWORDS: mechanical engineer, facility startup engineer, ASME Section VIII Division 1, pressure vessel design, B31.3 piping, process equipment design, engineer to order, ETO manufacturing, oil and gas equipment, skid design, P&ID development, process simulation software, code calculations, structural design review, drafting review, ABET accredited engineering degree, chemical engineer, electrical engineer, instrumentation engineer, Ohio manufacturing jobs, new facility standup, production equipment manufacturing
