**Description**

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will work with the project team to create world class designs for new installations and modifications on a variety of natural gas, RNG (renewable natural gas), and hydrogen projects, on infrastructure such as transmission pipelines, compressor, M&R (meter and regulator) stations and other areas related to the industry. The Staff Mechanical Engineer will work with the project team throughout the engineering, design and construction phases of various projects, adapting mechanical aspects according to project scope and schedule, client material specifications, state and federal (PHSMA) regulations, and industry best practices. Experience with biogas processing and upgrading systems would support Burns & McDonnells RNG practice that focuses on providing exemplary service to various utility, municipal, energy, and industrial clients. Typical assignments include working with multi-disciplinary teams in conducting feasibility studies, due diligence assessments, development of preliminary engineering packages, detailed design, and construction of significant RNG assets for our clients. Experience in anaerobic digestion of agricultural and food waste feedstocks is sought after.

Perform mechanical engineering to support design development of projects from conceptual phase through detailed design completion.

Review and provide markups on design drawings, 3D Model, ISO drawings, etc. for a variety of projects including, but not limited to pipeline, M&R stations, and compressor stations projects.

Engineering of mechanical components, such as bill of materials of pipe, valve, fittings, for project design and requirements that are set forth by the project managers.

Applies strong knowledge of commonly used mechanical engineering/design concepts, principles, practices, codes, and procedures within the mechanical engineering discipline.

Review, analysis, and indexing of pipeline material features

Produce engineering calculations and reports, for example preform hydraulics on pipelines based on material specifications and static head pressure to support hydrostatic pressure test designs.

Research and compile project related data as required by the project managers.

Update drawings provided by senior engineers to verify corrections are made within multiple CAD related software.

Compile information for client presentations, shop drawing review, and contract administration.

Create project specifications.

Create datasheets for procurement packages.

Create procurement packages request for quotes, perform bid evaluations and recommend vendors.

Perform simulations and analysis on preliminary engineering projects. Simulations will be performed using Software such as AFT products, Pipeline Technical Toolbox, Aspen One program, AFT products, etc.

Work closely with other disciplines (Piping, Process, Electrical, I&C, Structural and Civil).

Attend meetings with clients as needed.

Perform field inspections, measurements or calculations for public and private clients.

Field assignment and travel will be possible.

All other duties as assigned.
