Birck Engineering is seeking a motivated Mechanical Engineer with experience in the process industries, such as Oil & Gas, Chemical, or related. The role requires a proactive and ambitious engineer with strong foundational engineering skills and the capacity to learn new skills and solve problems. The mechanical engineer will be responsible for performing engineering design calculations and preparing engineering design documentation for client projects which will be constructed from the engineering package. In addition, the role will require frequent collaboration with the other engineering and design disciplines (process, structural, electrical, instrumentation, and design) to ensure a high quality, comprehensive design is prepared. There will be opportunities to grow and learn beyond the traditional mechanical engineering role and responsibilities, including working across disciplines, performing project engineering tasks, and providing supplemental project management support.
