What are the responsibilities and job description for the Design Engineer (Life Cycle Assessment and Sustainability) position at KUNZ?
Help us build the new era of capital project delivery! A.G. KUNZ LLC aims to be the world leader in model-based design, engineering, and construction management for complex capital programs. The company provides design, product development, and production management services to the global construction industry.
As a Design Engineer, with a focus on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), you will serve as a technical bridge between design engineering and global sustainability initiatives. This position supports new and existing product designs for a global program of datacenters that power the internet.
You will integrate Sustainability and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) into product development through:
- LCA Data Orchestration: Vetting, aggregating, and disseminating appropriate product models, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and technical design documentation to external LCA vendors. Design data in a variety of formats including 3D BIM and MCAD.
- LCA Quality Assurance: Reviewing and providing initial QA of LCA data. You will identify and resolve common modeling discrepancies, such as ensuring equipment and hollow objects are not incorrectly modeled as solids, which can skew mass-based impact data.
- Architectural Takeoffs: Reviewing and providing initial QA of equipment counts and material takeoffs based on an understanding of system architecture.
- Strategic Support: Providing general support for the global LCA team, including data analysis, technical data edits, dash-boarding, and report generation to communicate environmental performance.
Desired Qualifications
- Education: Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
- Technical Tools: Proficiency in MCAD (SolidWorks, CATIA, or DELMIA) and/or BIM (Revit) tools.
- Analytical Skills: Strong attention to detail regarding BOM accuracy and geometric modeling integrity.
- Sustainability Mindset: Knowledge of LCA workflows and an interest in how "digital twins" facilitate environmental accounting in capital projects.
