As an architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) partner to many of the world’s largest and most respected consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands, Haskell teams see a range of facilities needs as diverse as they are global.
Frequently clients call on Haskell’s industry-leading CPG Group to create new manufacturing lines. Sometimes that means erecting a gleaming greenfield facility, and often it involves creating solutions for optimizing or altering an existing production location.
For opportunities like these, Haskell is seeking a Senior Designer to join its Process team based in St. Louis, Missouri.
“I think what makes it really attractive is the challenges in terms of how they have to be creative,” said Dwight Garrels, Mechanical Team Manager in the Industrial Design Division. “Retrofitting an existing facility is a challenge, but it's also something I think they appreciate rather than just running a pipe 400 feet straight across a roof and down to a piece of equipment. Incorporating new equipment in existing facilities requires creativity in both locating the equipment and piping it up, and this is something we do quite regularly.
“There are a lot of challenges to being a being a good piping designer that go unnoticed by most people but is critical to the plant operations.
The role of the Senior Designer is to take designs and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) created by Process Engineers, create all pipe routing to connect all components, dimension equipment location in the facility and model it in AutoCAD and Plant 3D. Particularly in the case of retrofitting projects, clash detection is a critical responsibility.
The position is intended for an experienced field professional and involves some travel – on the front end to see firsthand the facility to be improved and further along in the project to provide startup support for construction.
“What they’ll create in their model and their drawings is what we’re giving the contractors to build,” Garrels said. “They have a critical job. They’re integral in putting together the IFC (issue for construction) bid package. They’re very critical to the final layout, and they’ll have the opportunity to go onsite to help the contractors understand the model and drawings.”
Haskell ranks as ENR’s No. 1 Food & Beverage Contractor for the second consecutive year and is also the No. 1 Green Contractor in Food & Beverage, the No. 1 Green Contractor in Manufacturing & Industrial and the No. 1 Green Design Firm in Manufacturing & Industrial.
In addition to providing a highly collaborative and fast-paced environment, Haskell operates with the direction of six strategic pillars, the first of which is to “Provide Team Members the BEST Job of Their Lives.” It offers a robust benefits package that includes a 401k match and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which creates stock ownership for every full-time team member.
