Mechanical Engineer (Water & Heavy Infrastructure)
AECOM, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, 70123
Overview
Mechanical Engineer (Water & Heavy Infrastructure) – join our Water business line, specializing in heavy mechanical engineering. In this role, you will design, develop, and oversee the fabrication of large-scale mechanical systems that are critical to water infrastructure. You will work on projects involving waterworks gates such as vertical lift gates, radial gates, sluice gates, Tainter gates, and sector gates. You will size and select winches, wire rope and chain hoisting systems, hydraulic, pneumatic and electric actuators, gear systems, and other precision mechanisms for these gates. You will also be involved with cranes associated with these structures and have experience with large pumps and pumping stations. Key Responsibilities
Design and develop heavy mechanical systems for water infrastructure projects. Create 3D models using Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, and other mechanical design software for use in detailed design drawings. Engineer and oversee fabrication of waterworks gates, hoists, actuators and associated control systems. Conduct engineering calculations and analysis to ensure structural integrity and mechanical performance according to industry standards and specifications. Review and approve engineering drawings and vendor submittals. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including Civil, Structural, and Electrical Engineers. Provide technical guidance during manufacturing, installation, and commissioning phases. Inspect and troubleshoot mechanical systems in the field to ensure quality and compliance. Manage project schedules, budgets, and deliverables for assigned engineering tasks. Ensure designs comply with applicable codes, standards, and client requirements. Prepare technical reports, specifications, and documentation. Support proposal development by providing technical input and cost estimates. Interface directly with clients as needed. Ability to travel a few times a year for site visits and meetings with clients. Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree from an ABET accredited Mechanical Engineering university program and 6+ years of relevant experience or demonstrated equivalency of experience and/or education. Ability to work independently with guidance. Preferred Qualifications
6+ years of mechanical engineering design related to water, heavy infrastructure, or relevant product / heavy industrial machinery engineering. Experience with locks, dams and other large water works structures. Professional Engineer licensure in the United States or the ability to obtain licensure within 2 years. Mechanical design experience of gates, hoisting mechanisms, actuators or large-scale mechanical systems. Experience with cranes and other lifting devices. Experience with large pumps and pumping systems. Strong background in heavy steel fabrication, welding, construction and large-scale mechanical engineering projects. Proficiency in Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD and other 3D design tools. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel. Proficiency with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software and analysis methods. Additional Information
Offered compensation will be based on location and individual qualifications. The expected range is $100,000.00 - $140,000.00. About AECOM
