Pressure Vessel & Shell‑and‑Tube Design Engineer

Location: Tulsa, OK | Position: Full-Time

Schedule: Monday–Friday, Days | Compensation: $90,000–$130,000 DOE

Join a Fabrication-First Engineering Team

Our client is growing and looking for a design engineer who can move seamlessly from calculations to shop-ready drawings—supporting ASME code pressure equipment with a strong emphasis on heat exchangers. This role sits at the intersection of engineering rigor and hands-on manufacturing in a fast-paced, job-shop environment.

Role Focus

• Mechanical design calculations for pressure-retaining equipment.
• Development of engineering drawings, layouts, fabrication details, and dimensional sketches.
• Design support for shell-and-tube heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and related ASME equipment.
• Consistent application of ASME Code, TEMA standards, and customer requirements.
• Issuance of fabrication drawings, calculations, and engineering documentation for internal and customer review.
• Cross-functional collaboration with fabrication, production, and project management.
• Assistance with troubleshooting engineering and fabrication challenges.
• Participation in continuous improvement to elevate quality, efficiency, and manufacturability.
• Mentorship of junior engineers as experience allows.

What Sets You Up for Success

• Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline; equivalent technical education with strong mechanical fundamentals will be considered.
• Prior heat exchanger experience strongly preferred; shell‑and‑tube familiarity is a plus.
• Knowledge of ASME Code and TEMA standards.
• Background in a fabrication-driven or job-shop manufacturing environment preferred.
• Strong analytical ability, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
• Meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality.
• Clear, professional communication and reliable, accountable work style.

Is This You?

• You enjoy being embedded with fabrication and manufacturing teams.
• You own your projects and thrive in hands-on, custom manufacturing.
• You’re pursuing long-term technical growth and greater responsibility.
