Mechanical Engineer
Location: Wirral / North West client sites
Salary: £40,000 to £50,000 per year (dependent on experience)
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Objectives of the Role
Concept Projects Group is seeking a proactive and motivated Mechanical Engineer to join our engineering project team. This varied, hands-on role involves supporting diverse projects across multiple industrial and blue-chip client sites, primarily in the Wirral and wider North West.
The role will see shifts between practical site work (installation support, modifications, equipment handling, project delivery) and more detailed mechanical engineering tasks (problem-solving, design, fabrication, and technical support from concept to installation).
The successful candidate must excel in fast-paced environments, from FMCG, food production, and pharmaceutical to construction, manufacturing, and wider industrial sectors.
Responsibilities
- Support mechanical activities across industrial and blue-chip client sites, collaborating with Project Managers, clients, and site teams
- Deliver practical mechanical engineering solutions, including:
- Design-to-installation projects
- Equipment maintenance, repair, and modification
- Perform repair and overhaul work on motors, pumps, valves, bearings, shafts, and rotating mechanical systems
- Execute tasks such as fitting, fabrication, benchwork, assembly, and modification while consulting technical drawings
- Work on site utilities, including compressed air, steam, and water systems (within expertise and design limits)
- Operate or support workshop and fabrication equipment, such as cutting, welding, drilling, and machining tools
- Use or be trained to use plant and access equipment, including FLTs ( Falls Arrest Lifts ), MEWPs ( Mobile Elevated Work Platforms ), and scissor lifts
- Ensure adherence to safety standards, client protocols, company procedures, and industry regulations
