Sr. Facility Designer

Overview

Seeking mid-career engineer/designer looking for the next step in responsibility without necessarily moving into people management. Someone who can bring industry knowledge, take ownership and eventually have some client interaction.

We're looking for a Senior Designer to lead facility and plant design across grain handling and storage, milling, feed mill, commercial seed production, pet food, oilseed extraction, ethanol, and adjacent bulk handling facilities — the senior design authority on the facility side of our engineering department. Three values run through everything we do here, and they're the same three we'll hold this role to: ownership of the layout with your name on it, tenacity to work a hard trade-off until it's actually solved, and stewardship of the customer's money, our reputation, and the people around you.

Experience needed:

•          Revit and Autodesk Forma / Autodesk Construction Cloud: proficiency required

•          Autodesk Inventor: working proficiency for tower, catwalk, and structural overlap

•          Navisworks or Forma clash detection workflows for model coordination

•          Reality capture and point cloud workflows (laser scanning data, scan-to-BIM)

•          Microsoft 365 for design documentation and project coordination

•          Associate's degree or higher required — we're flexible on the field: drafting, design, engineering technology, or something adjacent

•          6+ years of facility, plant, or site design experience in grain, bulk handling, or industrial settings

•          Strong layout, planning, and equipment arrangement judgment across multiple facility types

•          Experience mentoring designers and owning scope, schedule, and budget on projects

• Researching and confirming compliance with applicable federal, state, and municipal codes, permits, and standards, including OSHA, MSHA, IBC, IFC, and NFPA requirements

•          Equipment commissioning and startup experience (preferred) — designers who have been on site through startup tend to lay out a facility differently, and better
