Responsibilities

• Participate actively in project planning, scope definition, and engineering execution strategy.

• Organise and prioritise own workload, and meet planned deadlines.

• Contribute to and, where appropriate, lead engineering design review meetings, ensuring the technical integrity of all outputs.

• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate mechanical designs within broader project objectives.

• Produce and verify a range of engineering deliverables, including but not limited to:

  • Detailed design drawings and general arrangement drawings (2D and 3D).
  • Engineering calculations supporting design decisions and compliance verification.
  • Computer–based analyses such as Finite Element (FE) modelling, structural integrity assessments, and thermal or fluid simulations.
  • Technical documentation, including risk assessments, bills of materials (BoMs), and material specifications.
  • Engineering reports summarizing design intent, analytical outcomes, and design verifications.
  • Review and verify the work of other engineers or designers using first principles, design standards, and appropriate codes of practice (Type A and Type B standards).
  • Ensure designs meet safety, functionality, and cost–effectiveness requirements.
  • Provide support and guidance to the Mechanical Engineers, Mechanical Designers, and Apprentices.

HEALTH & SAFETY

• It is your responsibility to work in a safe manner to promote personal safety and the safety of others to prevent accidents occurring and report all near misses.
• Move materials safely and carefully using the correct mechanical lifting method.
• Use the appropriate PPE and ensure it is in good condition, replace when required.
• Follow the company s Health & Safety Policy at all times.

Knowledge & Skills

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Candidates holding an HNC/HND in a relevant field may be considered for Project Engineer roles, subject to the Engineering Director s review to ensure sufficient theoretical and analytical competence.
• Minimum of 7 years of post–graduate industrial experience (for Senior Engineers) in a mechanical engineering or design–based environment.
• Proven ability to develop and deliver engineering solutions from initial requirements to fully detailed design.
• Demonstrable experience in the following areas:
  • Application of engineering codes of practice and Type A/B standards.
  • Use of engineering models and drawings to communicate design intent (software training available in the company s preferred design suite).
  • Verification and validation of design work, including peer reviews and calculations.
  • Understanding of manufacturing processes such as planning, raw material preparation, plating, welding, machining, finishing, and assembly.
  • Preparation of risk assessments and technical specifications.
  • Strong analytical and problem–solving abilities with a sound grasp of engineering fundamentals.
  • Competent in Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook).
  • Familiarity with CAD and FEA tools.
