The ITG team supports clients through project management, process design, mechanical, electrical, chemical, controls, instrumentation, integration, and reliability engineering services.
POSITION OVERVIEW
ITG is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join its Champaign, Illinois office. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys a mix of process and mechanical design, plumbing systems, client coordination, technical documentation, and project ownership within an MEP design and consulting environment.

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT
Own project work across the full lifecycle, from conceptual design through construction documents, bidding, and field support.

Conceptualize the initial process, mechanical, and plumbing design approach for projects, with overall responsibility for engineering and/or design work related to process, mechanical, and plumbing systems and code requirements.
Coordinate, design, and schedule with other disciplines, such as architectural, structural, electrical, and controls, to resolve complex problems including conflicting design requirements and difficult coordination needs.
Organize and prepare process, mechanical, and plumbing construction drawings, technical specifications, contract documents, and estimates.
Develop engineering solutions and designs, cost estimates, bills of materials, and schedules for projects.
Apply knowledge of applicable codes and standards related to mechanical, piping, and plumbing systems.
Participate in the contract bidding process, prepare and issue responses to contractor requests for information, and prepare and issue bulletin and change order documentation.
Provide field engineering and construction services, such as shop drawing review and on-site observation.
Perform other duties as requested, directed, or assigned.
