Imagine this:
You start your day on the shop floor in Ogden, UT, where a critical piece of process equipment is due for a major upgrade. Operations needs uptime, Quality needs compliance, and Safety needs assurance. You coordinate stakeholders, run a quick FEA in ANSYS to validate a design tweak, finalize the spec, and lead the team through installation, testing, and qualification—keeping everything aligned with nuclear-industry standards. That’s the impact you’ll have as our Mechanical Engineering Lead.
Role overview
Reporting to the Senior Manager of Engineering, you will provide on-site mechanical engineering leadership for a manufacturing and chemical process facility serving the commercial nuclear power industry. You’ll blend hands-on plant support with rigorous design and project leadership.
How you’ll contribute
- Deliver daily technical support to operations and maintenance to sustain safe, reliable production.
- Lead the design and implementation of new and modified systems: define processes and equipment, oversee installation/fabrication, manage testing and qualification, and ensure compliance with all safety and regulatory requirements.
- Diagnose system failures using engineering methods and implement effective resolutions.
- Identify and recommend advancements in materials, machinery, manufacturing, and chemical processing to tackle complex problems.
- Create methods and standards for materials selection, equipment configuration, and process design.
- Perform engineering calculations and Finite Element Analyses (ANSYS or similar) to verify designs.
- Head cross-functional capital projects: establish charters, management plans, schedules, WBS, risk plans, and budgets; coordinate across departments to deliver outcomes.
- Produce thorough engineering specifications, detailed drawings, and complete design documentation.
What you’ll need
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
- 5+ years in manufacturing or chemical plant environments.
- Proficiency with Autodesk or SolidWorks and ANSYS.
- Working knowledge of ASME codes.
- Proven skills in CAD and mechanical design and engineering.
Where and how you’ll work
- Location: Ogden, UT.
- On-site requirement: 100% on-site.
- Reports to: Senior Manager of Engineering.
