Seattle, Washington, United States KGS Group Full time

About KGS Group

KGS Group is an employee-owned, multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm serving clients throughout North America. We're different than traditional engineering firms. We believe a commitment to lasting relationships is just as critical as the expertise applied in our work. To us that means we put our clients and people first. We have the discipline to consistently deliver KGS Quality, never taking the easy way out. We always look closer and dig deeper. And no matter the project, we care enough to do it right.

About the Role

We're seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join our team in Bellevue, Washington. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for providing engineering inputs integral to both small and large-scale hydro projects. You will lead technical teams and mentor junior staff, support production, and coordinate delivery of engineering work products with multi-disciplinary project team members and external stakeholders. You will not only support and help grow the broader engineering team capabilities, but your particular focus will be on continuing the development of our hydropower capabilities and working with key staff in growing that aspect of the business.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design modifications to, or entirely new, mechanical systems related to dams, control structures, water retaining structures, and hydroelectric generating stations.
  • Execute multiple projects from the proposal stage through to completion. Projects will include a variety of small to large projects involving water resources, flood control and hydroelectric sectors.
  • Conduct site investigations, condition assessments, and provide design and construction support.
  • Mechanical engineering with cranes, hoists, hydroelectric turbines, generators, and balance of plant systems.
  • Mechanical engineering design of gates, valves, pumps, and other hydro-mechanical machinery.
  • Conduct feasibility studies for proposed designs and assess costs and benefits for alternatives in a systematic and thorough manner.
  • Preparation and review of reports.
  • Work collaboratively with other disciplines to execute project deliverables, as well as ensure that quality objectives, schedules, and budgets are met.
  • Edit and prepare design specifications.
  • Contribute to the development of the hydro-mechanical practice at KGS by assisting the US mechanical design lead by documenting technical knowledge, improving internal production processes, coordinating and developing internal training content, and other tasks.

About You

To fill the role, we're looking for an applicant to bring forward a good mix of qualifications and previous experiences. Some highlights should include:

  • Minimum of a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET accredited university. A post-graduate degree would be an asset.
  • Minimum of 7-15 years of experience in mechanical engineering.
  • Must be registered as a Professional Engineer (P.E.) in Washington, as well as eligible for registration as a professional engineer in other states by comity through NCEES; or, if not already registered as a PE, would be able to obtain licensure within 1 year from date of hire.
  • Previous consulting experience is preferred, but not required.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills are required.
  • Must be able to work independently with minimal supervision and manage several projects simultaneously.
  • Travel to project sites is usually limited but will be required at times depending on project/client requirements.
  • Must possess a valid driver's license and the ability/willingness to undergo security clearance checks.
  • Client interaction: must be able to effectively assume a lead role as project engineer at project meetings and communicate project and technical information.
  • Demonstrated experience in site investigations, condition assessments, design, and construction support are preferred.

KGS Group is an employee-owned equal opportunity company offering an excellent compensation and benefits package.
