Chartered Mechanical Design Engineer
Are you a Chartered Mechanical Engineer looking for a technically challenging role where you can lead projects from concept to reality? Do you thrive on diversity, designing complex systems across industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, energy, and food & beverage?
This is an exceptional opportunity to utilize your advanced mechanical engineering expertise, 3D plant layout skills, and analytical capabilities on a wide range of multi-million-pound industrial portfolios across the UK and overseas.
Essential Requirements
- BEng (Hons), MEng, or MSc in Mechanical Engineering (or a closely related discipline).
- Chartered Engineer (CEng) status via a recognized professional institution.
- Minimum 5 years of post-graduate mechanical design experience within an industrial, manufacturing, or process engineering environment.
- Advanced proficiency with Autodesk packages (AutoCAD 2D, Inventor, AutoCAD Plant 3D).
- Demonstrated capability in piping stress analysis (ROHR2, CAESAR II, or equivalent) and FEA (Nastran, ANSYS, or equivalent).
- Full UK driving license and willingness to travel to UK client sites with occasional overseas travel.
- Full, unrestricted right to work in the UK (Visa sponsorship is not available for this role).
Desirable (But Not Essential)
- Experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using ANSYS Fluent.
- Familiarity with Autodesk Navisworks for clash detection or Autodesk Revit.
- Hands-on experience processing point-cloud data via Trimble tools or Autodesk ReCap.
- Familiarity with international engineering standards such as ASME B31.3 and EN 13480.
Key Responsibilities
- Full Lifecycle Design: Lead mechanical engineering designs from early feasibility and concept development through to detailed fabrication and site installation.
- Advanced Modelling: Produce high-quality 2D/3D engineering layouts, equipment arrangements, structural access skids, and piping isometric drawings.
- Technical Analysis: Perform finite element analysis (FEA) and piping stress analysis to validate structural and system performance.
- Site Surveying & Scanning: Conduct site surveys and inspections using advanced 3D laser scanning and point-cloud technology.
- Stakeholder Coordination: Liaise directly with clients, suppliers, fabricators, and internal multidisciplinary teams to ensure flawless project delivery.
- Team Guidance: Provide mentorship, technical guidance, and quality design reviews for junior engineers within the team.
