Senior Mechanical Engineer – Systems Integration
to lead mechanical, thermal, and modular system development across our desalination and balance-of-plant (BOP) programs. The role will focus on engineering integration, manufacturability, and contract-driven execution of large-scale modular energy systems. This is a hands-on technical leadership position suited to candidates with experience managing EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) interfaces, modular fabrication, and system-level thermal design. Location:
Abilene, TX or Dallas, TX with travel throughout the U.S. Organization:
Natura Resources Employment Status:
Full-Time Benefits:
Health, Dental and Vision Insurance, 401K, PTO Basic Responsibilities Lead mechanical and thermal integration for desalination and BOP systems (cooling, water, and power). Support design of modular, scalable desalination packages with standardized interfaces. Contribute to internal engineering standards and long-term design architecture. Optimize modularization to increase manufacturability and reduce field construction costs. Initiate pre-FEED and FEED design work; develop bid packages for EPC and engineering consultants. Manage engineering deliverables through clearly defined scopes of work, performance metrics, and earned-value progress tracking. Review and approve drawings, specifications, and construction packages; provide technical feedback to EPC partners. Drive accountability and alignment between owner and EPC through contract and risk management principles. Collaborate with project management, process, and controls teams to ensure integrated delivery of mechanical systems. Contribute technical insights to client-facing proposals for industrial and data-center applications. Required Qualifications Minimum bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering Licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng. or PE) preferred. 10+ years of experience in mechanical systems integration, modular fabrication, and EPC management. Demonstrated ability to write and manage scopes of work, evaluate unit-rate vs. reimbursable contracts, and implement performance-based progress tracking. Strong understanding of risk allocation and incentives in EPC and modular project delivery. Experience with desalination, thermal power, or nuclear balance-of-plant systems preferred. Excellent communication and documentation skills. Professional Development Requirements Experience with engineering codes and guidelines. Physical Demands Work is performed in an office environment; must have the ability to sit or stand for long periods of time. Work extended hours at certain times on occasion. Ability to handle stress well (high volume and high speed demands) Moderate travel is likely - locations will vary and overnight travel will be necessary. Physical Requirements Work is performed in an office environment.Must have the ability to sit or stand for long periods of time.Lifting may be required but not exceed 40 pounds. Extended work hours may be required. The ability to handle high volume and high speed demands and the stress associated. Why Join Natura Resources Be part of a pioneering team commercializing molten salt reactor and desalination technologies. Work on high-impact infrastructure projects addressing U.S. water and energy security. Contribute to modular systems designed for rapid scale-up and cost reduction. Collaborate with leading partners in energy, water, and advanced manufacturing.
