drawings.
Good understanding of welding, NDT, hydrotesting, material selection, and corrosion
protection.
Candidate Profile
We require a hands-on mechanical design engineer, not solely a maintenance engineer, site
supervisor or CAD draftsman.
The candidate must have proven experience in mechanical design, engineering calculations,
fabrication coordination and technical documentation for industrial equipment or water
treatment plants.
Experience working for an EPC contractor, pressure vessel manufacturer, skid fabricator or
water treatment equipment OEM will be strongly preferred.
