Senior Mechanical Engineer - Power Generation
Are you looking for a stable, and rewarding career supporting power generation? There is currently a surge in demand for power across North America, due to a convergence of many factors that are reshaping the energy landscape like electrification, data center growth, increased cooling needs, decarbonization efforts, and alternative energy solutions. Kiewit is recognized as a leader for those power needs and stands out in the power generation sector due to our engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) expertise, particularly in large-scale infrastructure projects. If you are looking for a lifelong career, growth opportunities, and a diverse portfolio of work on large-scale projects in Power, come work with us! We are hiring Senior Mechanical Engineers to design mechanical systems and equipment for current and future Power generation EPC projects. Our engineers and designers are focused on 3D modeling, designing, implementing, and maintaining cutting-edge electrical systems for balance of plant processes in Power Generation. At Kiewit, we believe in building more than just structures, we build relationships, strengthen communities, and improve the world. With top-notch health benefits, a great backlog of work, great time off, flexible work options, a wealth-building 401K plan, and unbeatable growth opportunities - we are deeply invested in the future of our employees. Your future is here. Join us at Kiewit, where we go beyond engineering and construction to build the road to success! We cultivate a culture of excellence, innovation, and teamwork, making it the most rewarding place to build your career. This position is located in our Lone Tree, Colorado office with some flexibility for hybrid/remote options.

Prepare sizing calculations and specifications for major equipment including, but not limited to, boilers, condensers, cooling towers, tanks, blowers, and pumps. Prepare mechanical engineering designs, equipment lists, general arrangements, aux power demands, and process flow diagrams (PFDs). Prepare piping calculations of fluid/pressure rates, using AFT FATHOM. Check design deliverables in accordance with industry codes and standards, contract requirements, and company standards. Prepare requisite mechanical documentation for construction and procurement packages for components. Assist in the development of schedules, work assignments, and staffing requirements to ensure successful project completion. Coordinate with other drafters, designers, and engineers and review work progress and results, as well as provide technical mentoring and/or oversight to more junior engineers. Balance multiple engineering tasks concurrently. At least 10 years' experience in mechanical engineering and design performing detailed design of mechanical systems and equipment for Power generation or Carbon Capture. Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET accredited four-year college or university program. PE license (or in process of completion) preferred. Highly motivated, with a demonstrated passion for excellence and taking initiative, with experience and interest in leading projects and other engineers/designers. Strong work ethic, willing to do what it takes to get the job done right the first time. Experience performing detailed design through construction, for EPC projects preferred. Experience creating engineering specifications, P&IDs, and procurement packages is required and working to relevant mechanical and Power ASME codes is required. Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills, as well as strong organizational skills, with the ability to juggle multiple responsibilities, strong time management skills, and attention to detail.
