3D Mechanical Designer -- SolidWorks | Skid-Mounted Process Systems
Join a fast-paced and growing design/build environment focused on delivering high-performance custom process systems for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries. We're seeking an experienced and hands-on Mechanical Designer with strong SolidWorks skills to help bring complex, skid-mounted systems from concept to fabrication.
As part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team, you'll play a key role in transforming engineering concepts into practical, fabrication-ready designs that meet exacting industry standards.
Responsibilities:
- Create detailed 3D models and 2D fabrication drawings for skid-mounted process systems, piping layouts, structural frames, and equipment assemblies using SolidWorks.
- Modify and update existing designs and drawings to meet evolving project requirements.
- Design and document structural, mechanical, and pneumatic components including pressure vessels, pumps, blowers, compressors, heat exchangers, valves, and instrumentation.
- Develop Bills of Materials (BOMs) and technical documentation to support procurement and manufacturing teams.
- Collaborate with project managers, engineers, and fabricators to ensure designs are practical, cost-effective, and aligned with customer specifications.
- Support proposal and bid preparation by contributing to technical specifications and layouts.
- Participate in system reviews, factory acceptance tests (FAT), and troubleshoot design-related issues during fabrication or commissioning as needed.
Requirements:
- Diploma or degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Design, or a related discipline.
- Minimum of 3 years of experience designing mechanical systems using SolidWorks, ideally within custom equipment or process industries.
- Strong working knowledge of piping systems, skid fabrication, and industrial components.
- Experience with design of pressure-rated components and sanitary process equipment is an asset.
- Proficient in reading P\&IDs, engineering specifications, and technical schematics.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset.
- Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
