Qualifications:
- Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is mandatory; a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering will be an added advantage.
- 5-12 years design experience with boilers, pressure parts, and fossil fuel power plants.
- AutoCAD 2D, Plant 3D, Inventor or some combination
- Understanding of fabrication and welding
- Must be organized and able to work under pressure in order to meet deadlines, manage multiple projects simultaneously and respond quickly to requests
- Must be able to travel when required.
- Understanding of GD&T principles and technique
The CAD Designer will produce and/or check CAD drawings. These drawings include industrial equipment with a focus on combustion technology (burners), fuel handling, piping systems (including gas skids), and pulverizers for utility and process boilers. You will be using knowledge of basic engineering principles, and current manufacturing or fabrication methods and procedures. This position is expected to create 3D models, create 2D manufacturing drawings, utilize 3D scanning equipment, and hand measure equipment.
Essential Responsibilities:
- Work directly with the Project Design lead and Lead Designer to contribute ideas and convert sketches into complete, workable assemblies.
- Prepare, edit, and correct drawings using CAD software including Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD (2D & 3D), AutoCAD Plant 3D, and PTC Creo
- Ensure designs meet Company standards with consideration focused on safety, quality, and manufacturability.
- Travel for field measurements, project meetings, or other information required for accurate layout and installation of equipment.
- 3D scan existing components to measure used/ worn components to reverse engineer and create detailed drawings.
- Keep appraised of standard updates, ISO procedures, design practices, CAD development program updates, and computer software advancement
- Archive project information in the appropriate Company database (DCAP, etc.).
- Become familiar with and use specialized analysis tools to support workload.
- Aid in the selection of equipment and usage of materials, determining and recommending the best and most suitable items.
