AECOM is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Heavy Mechanical Engineer to contribute to the design, integration, and implementation of major mechanical equipment for hydropower facilities and water-retaining structures, including both new developments and rehabilitation/modernization projects.
The systems involved include, but are not limited to, gates and stoplogs, trash racks, hoisting mechanisms, winches, overhead cranes, material handling systems, and associated auxiliary equipment.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team of engineers, designers, technicians, and project managers, contributing to the successful delivery of complex projects across Canada and, occasionally, internationally. You will also work closely with other engineering disciplines (civil, structural, and electrical), architects, equipment suppliers, and specialized consultants.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the senior technical lead for heavy mechanical systems on hydropower and dam projects.
- Establish design criteria and engineering basis for mechanical systems and ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and client requirements.
- Perform or oversee engineering calculations, analyses, and equipment selection.
- Prepare, review, and approve technical deliverables, including studies, drawings, specifications, contract documents, and cost estimates.
- Coordinate mechanical engineering activities with civil, structural, and electrical disciplines.
- Conduct site investigations and field assessments, and incorporate existing site conditions into design solutions.
- Provide technical support during construction, including shop drawing reviews, responses to RFIs, site inspections, and commissioning activities.
- Participate in technical meetings with clients, suppliers, contractors, and project partners.
- Mentor and support the development of junior engineers and technicians.
- Contribute to the successful delivery of projects by meeting schedule, budget, quality, and health and safety objectives.
