Job Description
Build Your Career in Industrial Refrigeration

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our team supporting the design, fabrication, and installation of industrial ammonia refrigeration systems. This is an opportunity to work on real-world systems used in food processing, cold storage, and industrial facilities-while learning directly from a highly experienced team. Whether you already have ammonia refrigeration experience or come from a strong mechanical background, we provide hands-on training and mentorship to help you grow into an expert in this specialized field.

This role includes a mix of office work, shop interaction, and occasional field/site visits. You'll be involved in projects from concept through commissioning.

What Sets This Role Apart

• Hands-on training from senior staff with decades of ammonia refrigeration experience
• Direct exposure to design, fabrication, and field work-not just desk engineering
• Opportunity to build expertise in a high-demand, specialized industry
• Career growth into senior engineering, project management, or technical leadership roles

Responsibilities

• Design and develop industrial ammonia refrigeration systems
• Perform load calculations, system sizing, and efficiency analysis
• Select and specify equipment such as compressors, vessels, evaporators, and condensers
• Create P&IDs, piping layouts, and Bills of Materials
• Work closely with fabrication, operations, and field teams
• Support installation, startup, and commissioning of systems
• Troubleshoot performance issues and improve system reliability
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and safety regulations (IIAR, PSM, RMP)

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
• 3+ years of relevant experience in mechanical systems or refrigeration
• Experience with ammonia refrigeration is a plus, but not required
• Strong understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer
• Ability to read and develop engineering drawings and P&IDs
• Experience with CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with industrial refrigeration or HVAC systems
• Familiarity with IIAR standards, OSHA PSM, or EPA RMP
• RETA certifications (CARO/CIRO)
• Knowledge of PLCs or industrial controls

Benefits

• Medical
• Dental
• Vision
• 401(k)
