Senior Mechanical Engineer

Description

Summary: Lead mechanical design, analysis, and validation for complex systems, providing technical leadership and driving continuous improvement in engineering practices and reliability. Highlights: 1. Lead detailed mechanical design, analysis, and validation. 2. Provide technical leadership on manufacturability and supplier management. 3. Drive continuous improvement in design practices and reliability engineering. **Key responsibilities** * Lead detailed mechanical design for systems and components (HVAC, piping, rotating equipment, pressure vessels, HVAC, mechanical assemblies) using CAD (SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA) and produce manufacturing drawings and BOMs. * Perform engineering analysis: FEA, thermal, vibration, stress, fluid dynamics (CFD) and validate designs against requirements and standards. * Define specifications, material selection, tolerances, and test criteria; oversee prototype build, testing, and validation. * Provide technical leadership on manufacturability, assembly processes, and supplier selection; review vendor drawings and manage supplier escalations. * Develop and approve mechanical design documents, P\&IDs, schematics, and technical reports; ensure compliance with codes and industry standards (ASME, ISO, EN, API as applicable). * Mentor and review work of junior engineers and designers; lead design reviews and technical workshops. * Support project planning: resource estimates, risk registers, change control, and schedule tracking; liaise with project managers and multidisciplinary teams (electrical, controls, structural). * Drive continuous improvement in design practices, DFMA, cost reduction, and reliability engineering (FMEA, root\-cause analysis). * Oversee commissioning, failure investigations, maintenance support, and lifecycle engineering considerations. * Ensure adherence to health, safety, and environmental requirements in design and field activities. **Required skills \& qualifications** * Degree in Mechanical Engineering (BEng/BSc/MEng) or equivalent; Chartered status desirable for senior roles. * 8\+ years’ mechanical engineering experience with responsibility for detailed design and project delivery. * Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA) and engineering analysis tools (ANSYS, Nastran, Fluent or similar). * Strong knowledge of mechanical systems, materials, manufacturing processes, GD\&T, and tolerance analysis. * Experience with relevant codes and standards (ASME, ISO, EN, API) and certification/regulatory processes where applicable. * Proven leadership, project management, and supplier management skills. * Excellent technical communication and report\-writing skills. **Desirable** * Experience in sector\-specific domains (industrial equipment, oil \& gas, automotive, aerospace, HVAC, or energy), PLM/PDM systems, and knowledge of control systems integration. * Familiarity with additive manufacturing, surface engineering, corrosion mitigation, and sustainability\-focused design practices. * Training in FMEA, Six Sigma, or reliability engineering. **Typical metrics / KPIs** * On\-time delivery of design packages and change\-order turnaround. * Number of design\-related field failures and mean time between failures (MTBF). * Cost variance against budget for mechanical scope and manufacturing yield. * Number of design improvements implemented and supplier quality metrics.
