We focus on process engineering and decentralized systems, delivering sustainable water management solutions across industries. Our team is passionate about environmental impact and technical excellence, and we’re looking for a Design Lead to help us scale our capabilities. Position Summary As Design Lead, you will play a dual role —leading hands‑on system design and drafting work through coordinating Building Information Modeling (BIM) across disciplines, while also managing and coordinating design resources, systems, and workflows. You will report to the Engineering Manager and work closely with internal engineering and business development teams to scope, estimate, decompose and assign design tasks. You’ll oversee junior designers and collaborate with High Value Engineering Centers (HVECs) abroad to ensure quality and consistency across deliverables. This role also includes responsibility for managing design software, hardware, and data management systems (e.g., Vault), ensuring the team has the tools and infrastructure needed to perform efficiently. Key Responsibilities Design & Drafting Perform 2D and 3D mechanical design using AutoCAD Plant 3D, Inventor, SolidWorks, and other CAD platforms. Develop general arrangement drawings, piping layouts, and detailed fabrication drawings. Create and review models for constructability, interferences, and compliance with standards. Support design from concept through detailed engineering, including redlining and revisions. Conduct field walks (mod yard or remote site) to validate designs and gather data. Coordinate 3D models and drawing deliverables for clash detection and constructability review using Inventor, Navisworks, and other tools. Facilitate formal and informal 3D model reviews (with client and / or project team). Leadership & Coordination Lead and mentor junior designers and drafters. Coordinate design and drawing activities with HVECs and external partners. Manage and prioritize incoming design requests from engineering and BD teams, including scope definition, decomposition and prioritization. Estimate manhours and assign resources to meet project timelines and budgets. Support resource forecasting and provide input to the Engineering Manager and Project Controls on design capacity and staffing. Ensure design standards and QA / QC processes are followed across all deliverables. Interface with Document Control to ensure proper release, revision, and traceability of all design outputs. Systems & Infrastructure Administer and maintain CAD software licenses, hardware, and data management systems (e.g., Vault Professional). Develop and maintain drafting templates, CAD standards, piping and skid frame software design modules, and workflows. Collaborate with IT and engineering leadership to ensure system reliability and scalability, and extend design / drafting environment to HVECs in a secure manner. Qualifications & Experience Technical diploma or degree in mechanical design, drafting technology, or related field. 8–12 years of mechanical design experience, including piping systems, modular process skids, and industrial equipment. Minimum 5+ years of experience with AutoCAD Plant 3D, Inventor and Vault for industrial systems. Experience leading design teams or coordinating multi‑disciplinary design efforts. Strong understanding of P&IDs, piping standards, and mechanical codes (CSA, ASME, etc.). Familiarity with Bluebeam, NavisWorks, and Microsoft Office Suite. Experience in industries such as oil & gas, chemical, food & beverage, or industrial HVAC is an asset. Excellent communication, organizational, and problem‑solving skills. Valid driver’s license required. #J-18808-Ljbffr
