The Project Engineer will manage mechanical engineering tasks from project conception to commissioning, ensuring compliance and effective collaboration with fabrication teams.
Our client is a well-established engineering and manufacturing company based in greater Seattle, WA area. Their Gas Systems division is the largest part of the business and focuses on custom, build-to-order industrial systems used in energy, gas handling, and emerging markets like data centers and hydrogen.
They’re hiring a Project Engineer due to growth and increasing project complexity. In practical terms, this role is about owning the mechanical engineering execution of a project from concept through commissioning.
Employment Type: Full-time permanent
Location: Greater Seattle, WA
Compensation: $100,000 - $125,000 base + full benefits (see below)
What You'll Do:
- Defining system designs and engineering deliverables based on customer requirements.
- Managing engineering plans, schedules, and project deliverables across the full lifecycle.
- Selecting and sizing mechanical components such as valves, pumps, blowers, and heat exchangers.
- Translating conceptual designs into manufacturable solutions with fabrication teams.
- Reviewing fabrication drawings, piping layouts, and assembly documentation.
- Developing P&IDs, bills of materials, test plans, and supporting technical documentation.
- Supporting compliance with applicable engineering codes and safety standards.
- Monitoring project risks, schedules, and budgets.
- Supporting factory testing and commissioning activities.
