Job Description Summary

Special Tool Designer is responsible for the end-to-end design and delivery of lifting, handling, and assembly tools for hydro turbine and generator components. This role spans concept development, 3D modeling, detailed drawings, engineering calculations, and technical support through manufacturing, testing, and field use. The designer/engineer, shall ensure compliance with applicable standards, and drive design quality, safety, and cost effectiveness.
Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities
- 1. Concept Development & Engineering
- Develop tool concepts for lifting, handling, assembly, and maintenance of hydro turbine and generator components (e.g., runner, shaft, rotor, stator, poles, covers, etc.).
- Analyze customer / project requirements, site constraints, and interface data to define tool functional requirements and boundary conditions.
- Prepare concept layouts, sketches, and simplified models to evaluate feasibility, ergonomics, and safety.
- Lead technical reviews to compare design alternatives for safety, manufacturability, cost, and schedule impact.




- Coordinate with installation, service, manufacturing, and project teams to validate concepts and collect feedback.
- 2. 3D Modeling & Digital Mock-Up
- Create and/or oversee creation of accurate 3D models of lifting and handling tools using [e.g., NX / Creo / SolidWorks / Inventor / CATIA – customize as needed].
- Integrate tools into turbine/generator 3D assemblies to verify clearances, interfaces, and handling sequences (DMU checks).
- Manage parametric models to allow reuse and customization of existing tool designs.
- Maintain CAD standards, model quality, naming conventions, and data structure in the PLM system.
- 3. Detail Drawing & Documentation
- Generate and review manufacturing drawings for components and assemblies, including:
- Dimensions, tolerances (GD&T; as relevant)
- Welding details, machining notes, and surface treatments
- Bill of Materials (BOM)
- Assembly and i
