Job description

We're looking for people who:

Working closely with Engineering, the Designer completes a variety of complex design assignments with extensive latitude in the use of initiative and independent judgement. The Designer provides direct engineering input for the development of original designs or adaptions. Investigates and procures all data required to develop a design and confers with engineering to resolve detail not completely defined. Prepares accurate drawings and designs using 3D CAD software.

Durr Universal:

This division of Durr CTS focuses on providing advanced air filtration and noise-reduction solutions for large gas turbines and diesel engines used in industrial, power generation, and oil & gas facilities. Their products help facilities meet strict noise, safety, and emissions requirements while maintaining optimal equipment performance. Durr Universal brings over 60 years of global experience in designing and delivering custom-engineered inlet systems, exhaust silencers, filtration solutions, and complete turbine/engine silencing systems. They can engineer, build, install, and service the full set of components required to manage noise, protect personnel, and ensure efficient, reliable operation of heavy-duty rotating equipment.
