Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. CECO Environmental Corporation is a global leader in providing sustainable solutions for industrial air, water, and energy transition. They are seeking a Senior Structural Designer who will be responsible for developing accurate, fabrication-ready structural and mechanical design packages for heavy industrial equipment, specifically focusing on hot exhaust and flue gas ducting systems.
Responsibilities
- Develop complete project design packages, including 3D CAD models, fabrication drawings, and material take‑offs for heavy industrial equipment and ducting systems
- Design large‑scale hot exhaust and flue gas ducting, including casings, transitions, and structural plate components for pollution control applications
- Independently evaluate project inputs for completeness and accuracy; identify missing, conflicting, or unclear information and drive resolution with Project Engineering, Sales, Supply Chain, and Project Management
- Apply sound structural and mechanical design principles to account for thermal expansion, operating temperature, mechanical loading, and cyclic service in ducting layouts and details
- Develop fabrication‑ready details that consider material selection, plate thickness, weld joint configuration, and shop versus field fabrication constraints
- Coordinate ducting interfaces with pollution control and process equipment such as SCR reactors, stacks, dampers, expansion joints, and related components
- Produce drawings required for customer approval, material procurement, and fabrication, with strong attention to constructability, installation sequencing, and maintenance access
- Collaborate closely with Sales, Project Engineering, and Project Management to ensure designs meet contractual requirements, technical standards, and project schedules
- Perform and verify geometric and material calculations (lengths, distances, angles, areas, volumes, and weights) to support design accuracy and material take‑offs
- Review peer drawings and models to ensure accuracy, consistency, and adherence to internal standards; provide technical feedback and guidance as appropriate
- Provide technical guidance, informal mentoring, and design support to designers and drafters while maintaining individual ownership of assigned design deliverables
- Lead complex design packages from concept designs to fabrication by coordinating technical inputs, resolving design conflicts, and ensuring alignment with production needs, standards, and schedules
- Support document control, revision management, and issuance of project drawings to customers and fabricators
- Contribute to continuous improvement of drafting standards, modeling practices, and design workflows
Skills
- Associate's degree in Computer‑Aided Design, Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related discipline
- Ten (10) or more years of progressive experience in industrial structural or mechanical design, preferably in heavy industrial or process equipment environments
- Demonstrated experience designing industrial casing plate ductwork and structural members
- Experience designing large‑scale industrial ducting systems, preferably operating at elevated temperatures
- Strong proficiency in 3D modeling and development of fabrication‑ready drawings
- Demonstrated ability to independently manage complex design assignments, review technical deliverables, and recommend practical design solutions with limited supervision
- Solid understanding of geometry, spatial reasoning, and material quantity calculations
- Experience with Autodesk® Inventor or similar 3D mechanical design software
- Exposure to hot exhaust or flue gas ducting systems operating at elevated temperatures
- Familiarity with pollution control equipment such as SCRs, baghouses, or ESPs
- Basic understanding of thermal expansion concepts in large ducting or plate structures
- Knowledge of common industrial welding practices and fabrication constraints
- Ability to interpret P&IDs and coordinate ducting layouts with process requirements
