  • ?? Creating detailed 2D and 3D models, layouts, and fabrication drawings using AutoCAD and Inventor
  • ?? Performing system and equipment sizing calculations, pressure drop analysis, and material flow modeling.
  • ?? Preparing specifications, data sheets, and equipment lists for procurement and fabrication.
  • ?? Coordinating with Project Management, Electrical, and Controls teams to ensure designs align with scope, schedule, and budget.
  • ?? Reviewing vendor submittals, shop drawings, and technical documentation for accuracy and compliance.
  • ?? Supporting fabrication, installation, and field start-up as needed through design clarification and technical support.
  • ?? Mentoring junior engineers and designers, ensuring adherence to engineering standards and best practices.
  • ?? Participating in client meetings, design reviews, and project kickoffs to communicate system design intent and ensure alignment with project objectives.

This role is a cornerstone of IAC's engineering operations, combining hands-on design expertise with leadership and cross-departmental coordination.

  • ?? Expertise in ductwork design, air flow and pressure calculations, and system optimization.
  • ?? Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D) and Inventor (3D) required.
  • ?? Experience with fabrication and layout of mechanical components such as baghouses, fans, dampers, and dust collectors.
  • ?? Strong understanding of industry standards, codes, and best practices.
  • ?? Excellent written, verbal, and organizational skills.
  • ?? Highly collaborative, with the ability to coordinate with cross-functional teams and communicate effectively with clients and vendors.
