Build Your Career in Industrial Refrigeration
We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our team supporting the design, fabrication, and installation of industrial ammonia refrigeration systems. This is an opportunity to work on real-world systems used in food processing, cold storage, and industrial facilities-while learning directly from a highly experienced team. Whether you already have ammonia refrigeration experience or come from a strong mechanical background, we provide hands-on training and mentorship to help you grow into an expert in this specialized field.
This role includes a mix of office work, shop interaction, and occasional fieldsite visits. Youll be involved in projects from concept through commissioning.
What Sets This Role Apart
- Hands-on training from senior staff with decades of ammonia refrigeration experience.
- Direct exposure to design, fabrication, and field work-not just desk engineering.
- Opportunity to build expertise in a high-demand specialized industry.
- Career growth into senior engineering, project management, or technical leadership roles.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop industrial ammonia refrigeration systems.
- Perform load calculations, system sizing, and efficiency analysis.
- Select and specify equipment such as compressors, vessels, evaporators, and condensers.
- Create P&IDs, piping layouts, and Bills of Materials.
- Work closely with fabrication operations and field teams.
- Support installation, startup, and commissioning of systems.
- Troubleshoot performance issues and improve system reliability.
- Ensure compliance with industry standards and safety regulations (IIAR, PSM, RMP Requirements).
Requirements
- Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- 3 years of relevant experience in mechanical systems or refrigeration.
- Experience with ammonia refrigeration is a plus but not required.
- Strong understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer.
- Ability to read and develop engineering drawings and P&IDs.
- Experience with CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar).
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with industrial refrigeration or HVAC systems.
- Familiarity with IIAR standards.
- OSHA PSM or EPA RMP RETA certifications.
- CAROCIRO.
- Knowledge of PLCs or industrial controls.
Benefits
- Medical
- Dental
- Vision
- 401k
- Life Insurance
- PTO
