Description
Description About the Role Fermi America is hiring a senior Mechanical Engineer to support on-site execution for gas-fired power plant construction. This role is part of a small on-site engineering team responsible for reviewing designs, identifying improvements, ensuring what’s being built makes sense, and overseeing field progress. This is not a desk-only design role—we need practical mechanical engineers with strong field experience who can troubleshoot real issues, challenge incorrect assumptions, and keep work moving safely and efficiently. Nuclear experience is a plus, but the top priority is deep mechanical construction experience. Key Responsibilities Review mechanical designs for constructability, access, installation sequencing, and maintainability Identify improvements and proactively resolve issues before they impact schedule or rework Provide technical oversight in the field for: piping installation, supports, valves, and system tie-ins equipment setting/alignment and vendor interfaces balance-of-plant systems (water, air, fuel gas, auxiliary systems) Coordinate with EPC/subcontractors on RFIs, installation constraints, and change requests Support mechanical QA/QC and turnover readiness (flushing, hydrotests, punch lists) Participate in walkdowns and readiness reviews to ensure system completion supports commissioning Help drive accountability and ensure field execution matches design intent and project requirements Requirements Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience supporting industrial/power construction Strong ability to interpret P&IDs, isometrics, vendor drawings, and installation specs Proven ability to work directly with contractors and field teams to solve problems quickly Strong communication skills and ownership mindset Preferred Gas-fired power plant or combined cycle experience Rotating equipment systems familiarity Nuclear experience (construction discipline, QA expectations, design review rigor)
