Serving a broad spectrum of industries, Proactive Global is renowned for connecting highly skilled professionals with innovative companies seeking to enhance their capabilities and drive growth. The company’s strong commitment to equality and diversity in the workplace makes it a trusted partner for both candidates and employers. Headquartered with operations that include the Denver region, Proactive Global supports clients by recruiting experts who fit precise technical profiles and organizational cultures efficiently and effectively. This particular opportunity focuses on a Senior System Designer role located in Denver, Colorado, within the Airport and Aviation Logistics Automation industry. The position centers around the specialist design, layout, and coordination of Baggage Handling Systems (BHS), a critical infrastructure component for airports. The role demands a highly skilled individual with at least five years of dedicated experience in designing large-scale mechanical systems, specifically for conveyor systems that automate baggage flow and enhance passenger throughput. As a Senior System Designer, you will be instrumental in creating detailed and accurate mechanical layouts and design drawings for conveyors, sortation equipment, and structural supports. Your work ensures not only that the systems comply with technical performance standards and regulatory requirements such as TSA’s Program Guideline Design Standards (PGDS) but also that the mechanical components integrate seamlessly with architectural, electrical, and structural elements. The emphasis on collaboration with various engineering disciplines highlights the complexity and high stakes of airport baggage handling system projects. The role requires advanced skills in AutoCAD and BIM software like Revit, enabling the creation of sophisticated 2D and 3D models that visualize and refine the system design. These models support manufacturing and installation by generating precise assembly details and part lists. You will also be responsible for intricate mechanical calculations to confirm proper conveyor sizing, motor placements, and structural support loads — working closely with structural engineers to guarantee system durability and performance. Beyond design, the Senior System Designer participates in critical design review meetings focused on risk identification and proposing cost-effective, value engineering solutions that improve constructability and operational efficiency. This role demands excellent spatial reasoning, technical acumen in mechanical system components (such as belt conveyors, diverters, and sortation machines), and an ability to interpret multidisciplinary blueprints for full system coordination. Security clearance is a key part of this position, requiring the candidate to pass background checks and obtain a Security Identification Display Area (SIDA) badge to work at secure airport locations. This underscores the specialized nature and sensitivity of work environments in aviation logistics. In summary, this Senior System Designer position is ideal for a mechanical or architectural engineer with a strong background in automated baggage handling systems who seeks to contribute to challenging projects in the airport sector. You will join an industry-focused team committed to advancing airport logistics through cutting-edge design and engineering innovations, underpinned by supportive recruitment services from Proactive Global, an equal opportunity employer.
