The role:

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join our team. Reporting to the Manager of Mechanical Engineering, you will play a pivotal role in the detailed design of our systems. You will work in multi-disciplinary teams while being trained and mentored by senior leaders. To excel in this role, you must be highly organized, pay great attention to detail, and be a creative problem solver.

Mechanical Engineers at Saltworks make a positive contribution by:

• Interpreting process designs and delivering code-compliant mechanical designs. This includes understanding code requirements, mechanical design integrity, and the ability to develop 3D models and 2D drawings using SolidWorks.
• Contributing to the maintenance and development of our CAD database (SolidWorks PDM).
• Participating in creative design sessions with a team of multi-disciplinary engineers to ensure the design meets requirements while considering risks and opportunities.
• Interfacing with the Production team to ensure accurate build documentation for all designs.
• Generating fabrication drawings and engineering documentation.

• A relevant engineering degree (Mechanical, Integrated, etc.).
• 3 - 8 years of relevant post-graduation work experience.
• Strong working knowledge of SolidWorks, including routing, large assemblies, weldments, drawings, and PDM systems.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Familiarity with industrial plant design including P&IDs and mechanical systems.
• Knowledge of applicable piping codes and standards (ASME B31.3, BPVC, CSA B51-14).
• Experience designing high-pressure stainless steel piping systems would be considered a bonus.
• Experience with pipe stress analysis is considered an asset.
• Hands-on tooling and troubleshooting skills (not essential—but it's beneficial if you like this type of work).
• A positive attitude, a can-do approach, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and pitch in as required.
