Job Description


Our client is a leading provider of custom‑engineered
process‑equipment systems used across biotech, pharmaceutical, food, beverage,
personal care and other advanced manufacturing sectors. They design, build,
test and commission stainless‑steel structures, pressure equipment and process‑piping
systems for high‑performance production environments.


This role is ideal for a mechanical engineer
who enjoys applying engineering fundamentals to real equipment challenges,
producing fabrication‑ready designs, and working closely with designers,
fabricators and project teams.


The
Opportunity


As a
Mechanical Engineer

, you will own
the mechanical design of custom process equipment — including stainless‑steel
structures, pressure vessels and process‑piping systems. You’ll complete
calculations, establish design requirements, review models and drawings, and
prepare technical documentation required for fabrication, regulatory review and
project delivery.


You’ll collaborate with process engineers,
mechanical designers, project managers, fabrication leads and skilled trades in
a hands‑on environment where practical, buildable design is essential.


Key
Responsibilities


Stainless‑Steel
Structures & Equipment Design


  • Design stainless‑steel skids, frames, platforms, supports and
    welded assemblies.

  • Determine design loads including equipment, piping, operating,
    transportation, lifting, wind, seismic and maintenance.

  • Complete strength, stability, deflection, connection and weld
    calculations.

  • Develop criteria and details considering stainless‑steel behaviour,
    sanitary requirements, fabrication methods and distortion control.

  • Use hand calculations and finite‑element analysis where
    appropriate.


Pressure‑Vessel
Design


  • Complete mechanical design of pressure vessels and components to
    applicable codes.

  • Perform calculations for shells, heads, nozzles, reinforcement,
    flanges, supports and external loads.

  • Review vessel specifications, drawings, materials, welding
    requirements and inspection criteria.

  • Prepare design‑registration packages and support CRN submissions
    when required.

  • Review vendor designs and resolve technical issues with suppliers
    and approval authorities.


Piping
Design & Analysis


  • Design sanitary and industrial process‑piping systems from
    P&IDs and project requirements.

  • Define materials, thicknesses, design pressure/temperature,
    flexibility and support strategy.

  • Perform or direct piping‑stress analysis including thermal
    expansion, sustained loads, occasional loads, support reactions and nozzle
    loads.

  • Design or review pipe supports, guides, anchors and specialty
    connections.

  • Review 3D piping models for code compliance, constructability,
    accessibility, drainage and installation.


Design
Integration & Fabrication Support


  • Provide technical direction to designers and review models,
    drawings and fabrication details.

  • Coordinate mechanical requirements with process, automation and
    electrical design.

  • Participate in design and constructability reviews.

  • Support fabrication and assembly, resolve technical questions and
    manage engineering changes.

  • Participate in testing, installation, commissioning and
    troubleshooting at shop and client sites.


Requirements


What You
Bring


  • Degree in
    Mechanical Engineering

    .

  • P.Eng

    registration in Ontario or eligibility.

  • Experience designing stainless‑steel structures, pressure vessels
    or process‑piping systems.

  • Working knowledge of ASME Section VIII, ASME B31.3, CSA B51 and
    related codes.

  • Ability to produce clear, reviewable engineering calculations and
    documentation.

  • Experience with FEA or piping‑stress analysis software is an asset.

  • Practical understanding of stainless‑steel fabrication, welding,
    inspection and assembly.

  • Strong communication skills and confidence working with clients,
    vendors and trades.

  • Valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel to client sites
    when required.
