    About the Role

    The Process Mechanical Coordinator plays a key role in the design-build delivery of food manufacturing projects. You'll bridge the gap between process design and construction execution—coordinating how mechanical and process systems come together to support safe, efficient, and high-performing food production environments. This position combines hands-on design with client interaction and field coordination, offering a dynamic mix of office and site work.

    • Collaborate with food industry clients to define process requirements and equipment needs.

    • Design and coordinate process utilities and mechanical systems (steam, compressed air, CIP, water, etc.).

    • Create and support detailed equipment layouts and mechanical drawings and exhibits using AutoCAD and Bluebeam

    • Prepare bid packages, evaluate vendor proposals, and manage equipment procurement.

    • Support field installation, commissioning, and startup to ensure systems perform as designed.

    • Design and integrate process and mechanical systems, ensuring proper interface between utilities, equipment, and building infrastructure.

    • Coordinate with architectural, structural, and MEP teams through the 30-60-90% design review process.

    • Lead technical discussions with equipment suppliers, subcontractors, and engineering teams.

    • Review drawings and submittals to confirm design intent and technical accuracy.

    • Assist with cost estimates, schedules, and documentation for design-build proposals.

    What You'll Bring

    • BS in Mechanical, Chemical, or Food Process Engineering (or related degree).

    • 2+ years of experience in process or mechanical system design (food or beverage preferred).

    • Proficiency in AutoCAD 2D and Microsoft Office; familiarity with AutoCAD 3D, SolidWorks, Recap, or Navisworks a plus.

    • Knowledge of process utilities such as steam, compressed air, CIP, process cooling, and water systems.

    • Understanding of equipment layout, system integration, sanitary design, and P&ID development.

    • Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced design-build environment.
