Drafter/Designer

Summary:

We are seeking a hands-on Designer/Engineer to design custom packaged pump stations, modular pump houses, booster pump systems, and fire pump systems. This is not a basic CAD drafting position. We are looking for someone who can understand how a mechanical system works, take a P&ID and project requirements, and develop a practical, manufacturable design.

You will design real equipment that is fabricated and assembled in our shop. That means working in SolidWorks , solving piping and equipment layout challenges, and regularly walking onto the manufacturing floor to verify dimensions, answer questions, and resolve design issues.

Responsibilities

• Design custom packaged pump stations and modular pump houses.

• Develop detailed 3D models and assemblies using SolidWorks

  .

• Turn P&IDs, specifications, and equipment submittals into complete mechanical and piping layouts.

• Route suction and discharge piping while considering system requirements, fabrication, maintenance access, and equipment clearances.

• Integrate pumps, motors, valves, piping, instrumentation, HVAC, electrical panels, and controls into complete packaged systems.

• Create fabrication, assembly, and piping drawings for manufacturing.

• Design pipe supports, equipment supports, brackets, and fabricated components.

• Review vendor drawings and equipment submittals.

• Develop accurate bills of materials.

• Identify design conflicts before they reach production.

• Work directly with fabrication and assembly personnel to solve real-world design and manufacturing issues.

• Update designs based on approved shop changes and manufacturing feedback.

• Help improve standard designs, CAD libraries, and SolidWorks iLogic automation.

Qualifications

• Strong understanding of fabrication methods (welding, machining, assembly)
• Strong mechanical aptitude and practical problem-solving skills.
• Experience with SolidWorks or similar 3D mechanical design software.
• Ability to read and understand P&IDs, mechanical drawings, equipment submittals, and technical specifications.
• Working knowledge of mechanical equipment, piping, pumps, valves, or industrial systems.
• Experience creating detailed fabrication or manufacturing drawings.
• Ability to think in three dimensions and coordinate complex equipment layouts.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple custom projects.
• Willingness to work directly with manufacturing personnel and spend time on the shop floor.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with packaged pump systems, municipal water systems, fire pumps, industrial piping, skid-mounted equipment, structural steel, pipe supports, HVAC equipment, or custom equipment manufacturing is a plus.
• Experience with SolidWorks iLogic or CAD automation is also a plus.
