- Producing designs with efficient use of construction materials with an overall emphasis on ease of construction and completed product meeting the expectations of the client
- Checking calculations made by other engineers to ensure accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria and conformance to good engineering practice
- Advising the senior engineer concerning design or scope changes, which have been identified
- Assisting other engineers in developing and assembling scopes, drawings and specifications into a "package" for mechanical purchase inquiries issued for procurement of equipment, materials or subcontract pricing
- Developing construction specifications
- Reviewing fabrication drawings and other construction submittals for conformance to engineering drawings and specifications
- Performing fieldwork necessary to gather field data, check tie-ins and provide construction support
- Provide technical guidance to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel in the department
- Knowledgeable of the discipline specific methods, practices and techniques required to engineer, design and construct process and manufacturing projects
- Recognize and communicate scope and design changes promptly
- Coordinate work activities with other teammates and the discipline lead
- Applying advanced engineering techniques and analysis to complex designs
- Estimating and scheduling professional service hours and assessing the progress and quality of mechanical work
- Complete understanding of the skills and experience required to perform engineering and design functions
- Ability to identify and develop work sharing packages for interoffice execution support. Provide leadership to ensure communication and execution of work within scope, schedule and budget
