Job description

Our client is a well-established engineering and manufacturing company based in greater Seattle, WA area. Their Gas Systems division is the largest part of the business and focuses on custom, build-to-order industrial systems used in energy, gas handling, and emerging markets like data centers and hydrogen.

They’re hiring a Project Engineer due to growth and increasing project complexity. In practical terms, this role is about owning the mechanical engineering execution of a project from concept through commissioning.

Employment Type: Full-time permanent

Location: Greater Seattle, WA

Compensation: $100,000 - $125,000 base + full benefits (see below)

What You’ll Do

• Defining system designs and engineering deliverables based on customer requirements.
• Managing engineering plans, schedules, and project deliverables across the full lifecycle.
• Selecting and sizing mechanical components such as valves, pumps, blowers, and heat exchangers.
• Translating conceptual designs into manufacturable solutions with fabrication teams.
• Reviewing fabrication drawings, piping layouts, and assembly documentation.
• Developing P&IDs, bills of materials, test plans, and supporting technical documentation.
• Supporting compliance with applicable engineering codes and safety standards.
• Monitoring project risks, schedules, and budgets.
• Supporting factory testing and commissioning activities.
• Acting as a technical resource for internal teams, vendors, and customers.

This is a hands‑on engineering role - not purely design. You’ll regularly interact with fabricators and need to be comfortable solving real‑world problems as they come up.

Requirements

• 3-5 years of experience in project engineering within manufacturing or OEM environments.

• Strong communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• Experience with gas systems, thermal/process equipment, or industrial fluid systems.
• Background in energy or industrial manufacturing environments.
• Exposure to fabrication‑floor collaboration and commissioning activities.
• Working knowledge of industrial controls concepts.
• Experience supporting global or multi-site projects.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and benefits package.
• Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and paid time off.
• Opportunity to work on complex industrial systems.
• Collaborative engineering and manufacturing culture.
• Long‑term growth opportunities within a stable organization.
