For decades, weve provided expertise ranging from economic studies and detailed engineering to procurement, commissioning, site management, and mine closure. Our commitment is simple: meet the highest standards in the industryand then exceed them. Your Impact Lead mechanical and piping engineering packages for multidisciplinary mining and industrial projects across all phasesfrom conceptual studies to detailed engineering and construction support. Apply deep knowledge of codes and standards (ASME B31.3, B31.4, B31.8, ASME VIIIDiv1/2, API, TEMA) to develop safe, compliant, and reliable mechanical and piping systems. Direct and review piping layouts, isometrics, bills of materials (BOMs), and fabrication deliverables, ensuring accuracy, constructability, and alignment with project standards. Evaluate, select, and specify rotating equipmentsuch as pumps, compressors, and blowersusing lifecycle cost, operability, and performance criteria to support longterm asset reliability. Oversee the mechanical design of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, chutes, bins, hoppers, and conveyor system components in collaboration with structural and process engineering teams. Prepare and review mechanical calculations (e.g., wall thickness, branch reinforcement, external pressure analysis) to verify the integrity and performance of critical assets. Develop and maintain project standards, piping material specifications, valve specifications, and equipment datasheets that drive consistency and quality across projects. Prepare RFQs and lead technical evaluations and comparison reports for bulk materials, valves, specialty components, and rotating equipment, partnering closely with procurement. Resolve complex design and material issues by working collaboratively with engineering, procurement, and construction partners to keep projects on track and on budget. Develop inspection and test plans (ITPs), including hydrostatic testing and NDT requirements for tanks and vessels, to support quality assurance and commissioning. The Skills That Set You Apart You bring 1014 years of experience in piping, rotating equipment, and static equipment engineering within industrial and/or mining environments. You have a strong track record delivering EPCM projects across sectors such as mining, mineral processing, power, or oil and gas, ideally with exposure to large, complex brownfield and greenfield projects. You have handson experience with the mechanical design of chutes, hoppers, bins, conveyors, and associated structural elements, and understand how these systems perform in harsh operating environments. You demonstrate a deep understanding of piping materials, equipment standards, fabrication processes, and construction practices, enabling you to make sound engineering and constructability decisions. You are comfortable developing RFQs, material takeoffs (MTOs), technical bid evaluations, and comparison reports, and collaborating closely with supplychain partners. You thrive in LEAN or continuousimprovementfocused environments and bring an improvement mindset to workflows, standards, and project delivery.
