Mechanical Designer

Conovey Inc. — Conveyor Systems & Custom Material Handling

We build the machines that move things

Spiral conveyors carrying kosher baked goods up four floors. Sanitary stainless systems running 24/7 inside food plants. Pouch handling for nutraceutical giants. If it moves product across a factory floor, somebody designed it — and increasingly, that somebody works at Conovey.

We're a tight, technically serious team that designs and builds custom conveyor systems for clients across North America. No two jobs are the same. The work is real: you'll see your drawings turn into welded steel, get shipped on a flatbed, and run for the next twenty years.

We're hiring a Mechanical Designer to join the engineering group.

What you'll actually do

You'll own mechanical design from concept through fabrication release on live customer projects. That means:

• Designing conveyors, frames, guarding, drive assemblies, transfers, and integration components in SolidWorks
• Producing clean, fab-ready drawings — GD&T where it matters, weldments, sheet metal, BOMs that the shop can actually build from
• Working directly with project managers, the shop floor, and clients to size systems, resolve interferences, and answer the questions that come up at 2pm on a Tuesday
• Spec'ing motors, gearboxes, bearings, belting, and structural components — and knowing why you picked what you picked
• Reviewing site drawings and 3D scans, doing layout work, and catching the problems before they become change orders
• Supporting FATs, installs, and the occasional "can you hop on a call with the customer" moment

You won't be siloed. Designers here talk to welders, electricians, controls people, and customers. If that sounds good, keep reading.

What we're looking for

Required:

• 3+ years of mechanical design experience, ideally in custom machinery, conveyors, packaging, or industrial equipment
• Strong SolidWorks skills — assemblies, weldments, sheet metal, drawings. PDM experience a plus.
• A real understanding of how things get built — welded vs. bolted, machined vs. formed, what the shop can do in a week vs. what'll cost you a month
• Comfort reading P&IDs, electrical layouts, and customer site drawings
• Clear written communication. You'll be exchanging emails and markups with PMs, contractors, and clients constantly.

Nice to have:

• Experience with stainless / sanitary design (USDA, BISSC, or food-grade environments)
• Familiarity with conveyor components — Intralox, Habasit, SEW, Nord, Bonfiglioli, etc.
• AutoCAD for 2D layouts
• Background in pharma, food & bev, or nutraceutical packaging
• P.Eng or EIT (not required, but appreciated)

Why Conovey

• Real ownership. You'll be the designer of record on your projects — not the third pair of hands on someone else's drawing set.
• Variety. A spiral one week, a pouch infeed the next, a full plant retrofit after that. You will not be bored.
• Short feedback loops. Engineering, fabrication, and project management are all in the same building. Decisions don't take three weeks.
• A team that knows the work. People here have been doing this a long time and are generous with what they know.
• Competitive comp, full benefits, and the kind of company where good ideas don't have to wait for a quarterly planning cycle.
