Job Description
Mechanical Engineer – Asset Management
Granite City, IL (St. Louis Metropolitan Area)
Exempt
- Serve as the primary engineering resource for mechanical asset evaluations, applying engineering judgment to assess condition, identify deficiencies, and prioritize corrective actions.
- Review and interpret mechanical inspection findings generated by the program's inspection team, translating field data into engineering evaluations and recommendations.
- Support inspection and repair planning for process equipment and mechanical systems, providing the engineering input necessary to ensure inspection activities are targeted, effective, and actionable.
- Perform site visits to equipment and systems as needed to verify conditions, gather supplemental information, and inform engineering decisions — not as an inspector, but as the engineer responsible for the solution.
- Prepare engineering reports, condition assessments, and technical recommendations for review by the client and Orbital's project team.
- Develop repair packages and maintenance recommendations based on engineering evaluations, condition assessments, and client priorities.
- Prepare calculations, designs, and repair specifications in support of identified repair and improvement projects.
- Coordinate with Orbital's office engineering team to ensure repair solutions are technically sound, code-compliant, and aligned with client requirements and applicable standards (ASME, API, NBIC, etc.).
- Provide engineering support during repair execution as needed — answering RFIs, reviewing submittals, and resolving field conditions — while construction and repair management remains the responsibility of others.
- Support long-term asset management planning by contributing engineering expertise to condition assessments, maintenance strategies, and capital planning initiatives.
- Support outage and capital projects by providing mechanical engineering input during planning, scoping, and execution phases.
- Maintain accurate records of engineering evaluations, calculations, and repair histories to support Asset Management databases and long-term tracking.
- Identify recurring deficiency patterns and develop proactive engineering recommendations to support the client's long-term asset reliability goals.
- Contribute to the continued growth and improvement of Orbital's Asset Management and Repair Services capabilities.
- Comply with all Orbital, client, OSHA, MSHA, and site-specific safety requirements.
- Complete all work in accordance with applicable codes, standards, and Orbital's Quality Management System (QMS).
- Participate in pre-job planning, job hazard analyses (JHAs), and safety meetings as required.
- Promote consistency, repeatability, and continuous improvement in engineering execution and documentation quality.
- Serve as the primary on-site mechanical engineering point of contact for the client's operations, maintenance, and engineering teams.
- Maintain strong working relationships with client personnel and Orbital's field- and office-based project leadership.
- Communicate engineering findings, recommendations, and project status clearly to both engineering and non-engineering audiences.
- Support proposal development, estimating, and scope definition as needed.
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited college or university.
- Minimum five (5) years of professional mechanical engineering experience in industrial environments.
- Experience with pressure vessels, piping systems, rotating equipment, heat exchangers, and/or other mechanical plant equipment.
- Experience in asset-intensive industries such as power generation, oil and gas, refining, chemical processing, manufacturing, steel, mining, or materials processing.
- Demonstrated ability to independently develop engineering evaluations, repair packages, and capital recommendations from inspection and condition assessment data.
- Experience supporting outage planning, capital projects, or turnaround activities in an engineering capacity.
- Ability to work independently in a field-based role while maintaining effective communication with an office-based support team.
- Ability to access structures at elevated heights, in confined spaces, and in active industrial environments as needed to support engineering evaluations.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to prepare clear calculations, technical reports, and recommendations for varied audiences.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and engineering software relevant to mechanical design and analysis.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license, or ability and intent to obtain licensure.
- Experience supporting Asset Management, Asset Integrity, Mechanical Integrity (MI), or Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) programs.
- Familiarity with applicable codes and standards including ASME B31.1, B31.3, Section VIII, API 510, API 570, API 579, and/or NBIC.
- Familiarity with digital inspection platforms and asset management systems.
- Experience providing engineering support during repair and construction execution.
