  • Support the fabrication and assembly of complex equipment by providing technical guidance and process documentation.
  • Perform engineering calculations related to thermal transfer, structural integrity, fluid dynamics, and materials compatibility.
  • Own assigned projects from concept through commissioning, maintaining accountability for schedule, cost, quality, and manufacturability.
  • Identify process inefficiencies and implement practical solutions to improve throughput, reduce waste, and enhance product quality.
  • Collaborate directly with welders, machinists, and assembly technicians to ensure engineering intent is communicated and executed.
  • Lead or contribute to root cause analysis of manufacturing issues and implement corrective actions.
  • Assist with procurement and vendor coordination to ensure materials meet design specifications.

Certifications this posting mentions

  • ASME Section IX — the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code qualification. It covers welding on pressure-retaining equipment — boilers, vessels, and process piping — where a failed weld is a safety incident rather than a rework ticket.

Read straight from this posting's text. Confirm the exact qualification the employer wants before you test — requirements vary by shop even under the same code.
