Mechanical Site Engineer

Overview Alamo Cement Company, located in San Antonio, Texas has a very long and rich history.  At the time when the cowboys roamed the West, a small Texas cement company laid a solid foundation for its existence.  Started in January 1880, the original cement plant , known as San Antonio Portland Cement Company, was located at what is now called Brackenridge Park.  In 1908, the cement plant relocated to North Central San Antonio.  In 1979, the San Antonio Portland Cement Company was renamed Alamo Cement Company, and today we are part of the Buzzi Unicem family of companies. Globally, Buzzi Unicem SpA operates in 14 countries and employs almost 10,000 people. From 1909 to the late 70's, many technological advances in cement production had taken place. Wanting to take advangate of these improvements, the Alamo Cement Company initiated the construction of a modern plant located in the Northeast area of San Antonio.  The plant retained the name of Alamo Cement Company and became fully operational in 1981. If supporting evolving innovations and learning from experienced personnel sound appealing, then Alamo Cement Company is the place for you. Join our team, be part of the solution, and help us continue to sustain our highly competitive nature, both now and in the future. Responsibilities The Mechanical Site Engineer provides site-based mechanical engineering support and technical oversight for CAPEX projects at the ACC plant. The role supports project execution from constructability review and field installation through mechanical completion, commissioning, start-up, and turnover. The Mechanical Site Engineer provides technical oversight of contractors and suppliers, verifies mechanical installation against approved drawings, specifications, vendor requirements, and applicable quality standards, and supports timely resolution of field engineering and construction issues. The position works closely with Project Management, Engineering, Construction, Quality, HSE, contractors, equipment suppliers, Operations, and Maintenance to support safe, timely, and high-quality project execution. Mechanical Engineering & Constructability Review mechanical drawings, specifications, vendor documentation, materials, and installation requirements for constructability and field execution. Review equipment layouts considering installation, operation, safety, maintenance, access, and future equipment removal or replacement. Identify constructability issues, interferences, and installation constraints and coordinate resolution with the appropriate engineering disciplines. Support resolution of RFIs, field technical questions, deviations, and other mechanical engineering issues arising during construction. Participate in design, constructability, and installation-readiness reviews and provide practical field input to proposed technical solutions. Mechanical Construction & Contractor Oversight Provide day-to-day technical oversight of mechanical contractors and subcontractors performing work on assigned CAPEX projects. Verify that mechanical work is performed in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, vendor requirements, and project quality requirements. Review contractor work planning from a mechanical execution perspective, including work-front readiness, sequencing, manpower, tools, lifting equipment, and other required resources. Identify deficient, incomplete, or non-compliant mechanical work and support appropriate technical resolution and corrective action. Coordinate field technical issues with contractors, subcontractors, equipment suppliers, and the project team. Provide BUU technical oversight without assuming contractor responsibilities for supervision, means and methods, manpower, productivity, or safety execution. Equipment Installation & Mechanical Interfaces Monitor installation and erection of major equipment, mechanical packages, conveyors, material-handling systems, process ductwork, piping, utilities, and ancillary mechanical systems. Verify equipment positioning, orientation, elevations, alignment, clearances, and installation tolerances Support verification of foundations, embeds, anchor bolts, structural interfaces, and other prerequisites prior to equipment installation. Coordinate mechanical interfaces with Civil/Structural, Electrical, Automation and Controls, utilities, and other project disciplines, identifying conflicts early. Coordinate with OEM and equipment supplier representatives during installation, inspection, field adjustments, and troubleshooting. Support mechanical tie-ins, shutdown activities, and other critical installation activities as required. Quality, Inspection & Testing Verify that required mechanical inspections, tests, and quality checks are performed and appropriately documented. Recommend and support testing required to demonstrate compliance with project quality requirements. Support verification of alignment, tolerances, bolting and torque requirements, welding and NDE where applicable, pressure testing, flushing, lubrication, and other mechanical quality-control activities. Support Quality personnel in evaluating mechanical deficiencies, NCRs, and corrective actions. Monitor equipment preservation and protection requirements during construction and prior to commissioning. Schedule & Construction Progress Monitor mechanical construction progress against the approved project schedule and planned work sequence. Verify that contractor short-term planning is technically sound and consistent with work-front readiness and available resources. Identify mechanical activities, interfaces, and constraints that may affect project milestones or critical-path activities. Review the technical practicality of contractor recovery plans and corrective actions where mechanical work is behind schedule. Provide accurate field information for look-ahead planning and project reporting and e
