Mechanical Project Engineer

The Mechanical Project Engineer will be primarily responsible for the implementation and installation of capital equipment and facilities to include ownership of all phases of a project from initiation and planning through installation, commissioning, and closeout. This position will provide engineering expertise to assist plant-level Maintenance, ProductionOperations, EH&S, and management personnel in identifying and solving technical process issues. A practical level of understanding of mechanical engineering principles are to be applied to assigned project work. Individual is to be provided with moderate task definition, supervision, and technicalprocess-related advice throughout the execution of assignments. Typically, some but minimal overall project responsibility will be delegated by this individual to others.Essential Responsibilities:Recommend, specify, and procure facilities and manufacturing process equipment that match project application requirements and business needs.Capital project management that includes scope development, funding requests, budget tracking, schedule tracking, project execution, and general project documentationCoordinate day-to-day activities of contractors and plant maintenance personnel during project execution.Troubleshoot and resolve issues with existing process equipment and systems.Provide training and technical assistance to plant-level Maintenance, ProductionOperations, EH&S, and management personnel to ensure all project goals are successfully attained.Travel to Carlisle Construction Materials facilities outside of home base office, in support of project planning, equipment installation, startup, and training.Essential Full Performance Knowledge:Project Management FundamentalsModerate working knowledge of manufacturing plants and equipmentModerate working knowledge of construction principlesWorking knowledge of electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic systemsWorking knowledge of temperature control systems and utilitiesWorking knowledge of piping design and instrumentation design principlesBasic understanding of openclosed control loops (PIDs)Understanding of electrical wiring principles based on the National Electric Code (NEC)Data Historian developmentBasic understanding of low-voltage power distributionSoftwareData communication protocols (OPC-UAOPC-DA)Basic understanding of AutoCADAbility to stay abreast of new development in controlstechnologyEssential Full Performance Skills:Interpretation of mechanical design and construction drawingsUnderstanding and evaluation of component, equipment or installation proposalsComputer Aided Design (CAD) software (Autodesk products)Configuration and tuning of variable frequency drives (VFDs)Interpretation of electricalcontrols drawingsDevelopment of detailed equipmentinstallation specifications and RFQsUtilize and interpret technical data sheets and manualsBasic problem-solving skillsBasic analytical comparison and value judgment skillsEquipment Used:Industrial computerslaptopsPrinters and engineering plotters3D Scanning CamerasGeneral maintenance tools (screw drivers, tape measures, hand tools)RequirementsBS degree in Mechanical Engineering or related disciplineMinimum of five years industrialmanufacturing experience in a mechanical engineering capacityThe basic work environment is within a manufacturing facility with an average of 3-4 weeks of travel per quarter (although more travel may be required on occasion). The atmosphere is relatively fast paced and occasionally becomes stressful. The environment demands that multiple projects be worked on at the same time.Work Environment:80% office - project development, monthly reports, projects updates, team meetingscalls20% travel - project support, equipment installation, commissioning, startups, vendor visitsTime Worked:Hours Worked: Normally 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. | 40 hoursweek; Situations will require additional hours worked per day and or alternate shifts worked (equipment breakdowns, process issuestroubleshooting, equipment commissioningstartups, etc.).Days of Week Worked: Monday through Friday; SaturdaySunday work to support production needs occurs occasionally.
