Job description

Our client is seeking a Designer to support facility modifications and design-change deliverables. This role is intended for a practical, detail-oriented engineer who can produce controlled CAD deliverables, support design package administration, and help execute minor / lower-safety-significance modifications under the direction of senior discipline engineers and modification leadership. The successful candidate will contribute to configuration-controlled design outputs from scoping through field execution, Certified for Construction (CFC) release, as-builts, and turnover.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and revise 2D drawings and 3D models using AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks; incorporate engineering markups, field walkdowns, and vendor information into buildable drawing packages.
• Support minor modifications by developing design deliverables and coordinating interfaces across disciplines to ensure the scope is clear and executable; apply industry-accepted codes/standards and good engineering practices.
• Prepare, review, and implement redlines; support as-built updates and turnover documentation so final records reflect installed configuration.
• Support configuration control by maintaining drawing revision integrity and aligning design updates with approved change mechanisms (e.g., Engineering Change Record (ECR) when applicable).
• Help compile and maintain installation-ready design packages (drawings, specifications, references, testing requirements, and related information) and support CFC readiness for field execution.
• Maintain disciplined documentation practices on design outputs, including clearly identifying external references and their revision/identifier where applicable.
• Participate in hazard analyses, safety reviews, quality assurance activities, and regulatory audits.
• Produce technical reports, progress updates, and presentations for project teams and stakeholders.
• Perform additional related tasks as assigned.

Preferred Background and Experience

• Two or more (2+) years supporting engineering design deliverables in industrial facilities (process, utilities, manufacturing, chemical, nuclear, or similarly controlled environments).
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks, with strong drawing discipline and attention to detail (revision handling, notes, clarity, and consistency).
• Experience supporting field execution and closeout activities (RFIs, redlines, as-builts, turnover documentation) in a configuration-controlled environment.
• Comfort supporting administrative workflows that keep design packages complete and executable (tracking deliverables, coordinating reviews, and maintaining controlled records).
• Strong problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across cross-functional teams.

Education & Certification

• Preferred, not required: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution– or equivalent combination of education and experience.

Additional Requirements

• Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance.
