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

- 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)
