  • Crushers, material handling equipment, and process machinery
  • Piping systems, supports, and mechanical interfaces
  • Develop construction-ready engineering deliverables, including:
  • Equipment layouts and mechanical drawings
  • Design calculations and specifications
  • Tie-in details and modification packages for operating plants
  • Support execution-focused engineering by:
  • Incorporating constructability, access, and maintenance considerations
  • Supporting field implementation, troubleshooting, and design clarifications
  • Participating in design reviews with Engineering and site teams
  • Apply applicable codes, standards, and best practices, including:
  • ASME, API, and applicable boiler and pressure system requirements
  • Client-specific and site-specific engineering standards
  • Interface with:
  • Engineering project teams
  • Owner/operator engineering, reliability, and maintenance groups
  • Field supervisors and construction contractors
  • Provide technical support during:

  • Maintenance outages and equipment replacements
  • Field changes and as-built documentation

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related discipline)
  • 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience in mining or heavy industrial environments
  • Hands-on experience with:
  • Rotating equipment (pumps, compressors, fans, etc.)
  • Thermal and process equipment (boilers, steam drums, dryers)
  • Large mechanical equipment common in mining operations
  • Strong understanding of:
  • Brownfield facilities and operating-plant constraints
  • Engineering deliverables that must be built and maintained in the field
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work across disciplines
  • Willingness to travel periodically to mine sites

Preferred Qualifications

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license
  • Experience supporting:
  • Mining operations (trona, coal, metals, aggregates, or processing facilities)
  • EPC, owner-side, or specialty engineering organizations
  • Familiarity with:
  • Reliability and maintainability-driven design
  • Equipment layout, access, and lifting considerations
  • AutoCAD, Plant 3D, or similar mechanical design tools

Work Arrangement Options

ISC offers flexible engagement models to support project demand:

  • Full-time (Bakersfield-based or Remote)
  • 1099 Contract / Project-Based Support

This structure allows ISC to scale engineering capacity efficiently while maintaining high technical standards.
