Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking a

Mechanical Engineer

to join one of our clients engineering teams on a

contract‑to‑hire basis

. In this role, you will design, analyze, and optimize mechanical and piping systems that meet project requirements, customer expectations, and industry standards. You’ll apply sound engineering principles to deliver reliable, constructible, and high‑performance solutions while collaborating closely with cross‑functional partners.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced engineer who enjoys hands‑on design, technical problem‑solving, and working in a collaborative project environment—with the potential to convert to a full‑time role.

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop mechanical and piping systems using

AutoCAD, Plant3D, and/or CADWorx

• Perform

stress analysis, friction loss calculations, and hydraulic analysis

to evaluate system performance

• Conduct

heat transfer analysis

to ensure safe and efficient thermal management

• Apply engineering calculations and simulations to optimize system reliability, safety, and constructability
• Collaborate with

civil/structural, electrical, QA, and project management

teams to ensure integrated designs

• Support design reviews, troubleshoot engineering challenges, and provide technical recommendations
• Prepare and maintain

technical documentation, drawings, reports, and specifications

• Ensure designs comply with applicable

codes, standards, and regulatory requirements

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in

Mechanical Engineering

or related engineering discipline

• 5\+ years

of mechanical engineering design and development experience

• Proficiency with

AutoCAD

and

Plant3D or CADWorx

• Experience performing

friction loss calculations, system hydraulics analysis, and stress analysis

• Strong understanding of

heat transfer principles

and mechanical system behavior

• Demonstrated ability to apply analytical methods to solve complex engineering problems

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
• Professional Engineer (PE)

license or equivalent

• Experience with advanced simulation tools such as

FEA, CAESAR II, and/or AFT Fathom

• Familiarity with

material selection for chemical compatibility

• Experience working in

multidisciplinary, project‑based engineering environments
