Perform engineering calculations, develop 3D models and fabrication drawings, ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards, and provide technical support throughout manufacturing and installation.

Duties and Responsibilities

· Design PDC layouts, assemblies, and mechanical systems to meet customer specifications, project requirements, and industry standards.

· Complete orthographic internal and external projections from general arrangement plan views.

· Create and maintain 3D models using CAD software and generate accurate shop drawings for fabrication and installation.

· Model skid and enclosure assemblies from project layouts and equipment requirements.

· Model skid and enclosure structures and perform engineering calculations to verify structural integrity, equipment support, transportation loads, lifting loads, and code compliance.

· Perform load analyses including dead loads, live loads, equipment loads, wind loads, lifting loads, and transportation loads as applicable.

· Model system thermal loads and calculate HVAC system sizing requirements.

· Design base skids from general arrangement plan views and produce fabrication drawings for sawing, coping, fitting, and welding.

· Design NEMA 3R enclosures from elevation views and produce fabrication drawings for cutting, bending, assembly, and laser-cut nesting.

· Select and specify materials, structural members, fasteners, welds, coatings, hardware, and HVAC components based on design requirements.

· Develop detailed fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, and manufacturing documentation for steel structures, platforms, stairs, skids, and enclosure components.

· Generate bills of materials (BOMs) and maintain engineering documentation within company systems.

· Ensure designs comply with applicable codes and standards, including IBC, IECC, NEC, IMC, OSHA, AISC, AWS, and customer-specific requirements.

· Coordinate with project engineers, electrical engineers, project managers, manufacturing personnel, customers, and approval authorities throughout the design process.

· Participate in design reviews and provide engineering recommendations to improve manufacturability, quality, cost, and schedule.

· Review completed designs for accuracy, completeness, constructability, and compliance prior to release for manufacturing.

· Support fabrication teams by answering technical questions, resolving drawing discrepancies, and implementing engineering revisions during manufacturing and assembly.
