This position offers an exciting opportunity to be involved in the full lifecycle of machine design—from initial concept through to commissioning and testing, often in a multi-disciplinary team setting. This role requires travel, as some projects may involve working abroad or offshore.
Key Responsibilities:
* Develop conceptual designs based on process definitions.
* Design layouts for mechanical and hydraulic machinery.
* Conduct stress and other calculations to validate designs.
* Collaborate with project teams across multiple engineering disciplines (mechanical, structural, hydraulic, maritime, materials).
* Support machine build, commissioning, and testing phases.
* Work closely with control and software engineers for seamless machine interfacing.
* Assist in preparing customer proposals and sales activities.
* Provide support to the customer service team as required.
Key Skills and Qualifications:
* Degree in Mechanical Engineering with sound engineering principles.
* Demonstrated experience in a mechanical design role, ideally with low-volume, high-value machinery.
* Knowledge of fabrication design and a solid understanding of geometric tolerances, limits, fits, weld symbols, and surface finish.
* Practical engineering experience with a strong enthusiasm for innovation.
* Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with a customer-focused mindset.
* Ability to multitask, prioritize effectively, and work under pressure to meet tight deadlines.
Core Competencies:
* High standard of quality in engineering design.
* Proactive approach and positive attitude.
* Adaptability and strong problem-solving skills.
