Summary
A Project Engineer is an engineering support role focused on helping project managers execute complex equipment projects efficiently and accurately. This role bridges engineering, automation, fabrication, and field service by owning technical deliverables, reviews, and follow-through across the full project lifecycle.

The PE does not act as the Project Manager or customer point of contact but instead provides high-impact technical support that allows Project Managers to focus on cost, schedule, and customer communication.

Some Of The Work You Will Do
You will support multiple active projects at different phases, with responsibilities that include:

• Read customer specifications and engineer drawing sets and assess design and process needs for WesTech equipment
• Develop, redline, review, and approve project P&IDs, equipment calculations, project drawings, and specialty engineering submittals
• Review and approve equipment and specialty calculations, pipe sizing, and materials
• Review and approve equipment cut sheets, job review checklists, and technical inserts
• Review compiled submittal packages, lead technical resubmittals, and support comment resolution
• Serve as the engineering approver for fabrication drawings and equipment parts lists
• Coordinate with Automation Programmers and Project Managers to develop control narratives, support PLC logic development, HMI emulation, sequence testing, and commissioning
• Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), including preparation of FAT documentation and test participation
• Support field service and commissioning activities, including troubleshooting and performance testing
• Assist with development of specialty IO&M documents, asset lists, calibration certificates, training materials, and test reports
• Provide overflow technical support to Project Managers as needed across active projects
• Participate in development and continuous improvement initiatives outside of assigned projects

Throughout all phases, you will work closely with Project Managers while ensuring technical accuracy, completeness, and timely delivery.

Here Are The Skills That You Need

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering or closely related degree – no exceptions.
• Strong engineering fundamentals with the ability to review and approve technical calculations and drawings
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks and shifting priorities without dropping commitments
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication – especially with Project Managers and internal teams
• Strong attention to detail and ownership of deliverables through completion
• Comfort operating with limited procedural documentation and navigating gray areas
• Ability to work independently while staying tightly integrated with PM teams
• Practical problem-solving mindset with a bias toward execution

Here are the skills and qualifications that will set you apart:

• Professional Engineering (PE) license
• 3+ years of experience supporting engineered equipment projects through design, fabrication, testing, and commissioning.
• Subject matter expert on membrane systems, rapid sedimentation products, and/or clarifiers supported by the Integrated Salt Lake product line.
