Mechanical Engineer Process Design

Key Responsibilities: Create and maintain 3D models and detailed fabrication drawings in SolidWorks for process equipment, skids and piping systems. Develop, review and update PFDs (Process Flow Diagrams) and P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) in collaboration with process and instrumentation teams. Perform piping design including routing, isometrics, support and stress considerations, material selection and line-sizing calculations. Select and specify process equipment (pumps, heat exchangers, tanks, valves, seals) and prepare procurement packages and vendor evaluations. Lead and support commissioning, FAT/SAT and start-up activities, troubleshoot mechanical issues, and ensure systems meet performance and cleanliness requirements. Prepare technical documentation, test procedures, inspection plans and as-built drawings; ensure compliance with industry codes and customer hygiene/specification standards. Coordinate with multidiscipline teams (process, electrical, automation, QA, site services) and with vendors and contractors to ensure project milestones and quality targets are met. Drive continuous improvement through lessons-learned, cost-effective design choices and optimization for manufacturability and hygienic cleaning where applicable.

Qualifications: Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.3+ years of mechanical/process engineering experience, ideally in Food & Beverage or Chemical process industries. Proven proficiency in SolidWorks for 3D modelling and detailed drawing production. Demonstrated experience in piping design, line sizing, supports and isometrics. Strong ability to develop and interpret PFDs and P&IDs. Experience with equipment selection, specification writing and vendor evaluation for pumps, heat exchangers, tanks and valves. Hands-on commissioning experience (FAT/SAT), start-up support and mechanical troubleshooting. Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g., ASME, API, ISO) and hygienic design requirements for food/beverage applications. Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to coordinate across disciplines and with external vendors.
