- Technical Documentation: Manage Bills of Materials (BOM) and technical specifications for new and existing product lines.
- Continuous Improvement: Analyse field performance data to implement design upgrades that reduce downtime and boost efficiency.
What you'll need to succeed
- Education: Degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
- Technical Skill: Proficiency in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, Solidedge, or similar).
- Industry Knowledge: A solid understanding of hydraulics, fabrication, and heavy machinery.
- Mindset: A problem-solver who isn't afraid to get their boots dirty to see how a machine performs in the real world.
What you'll get in return

- Be part of a relentless R&D culture where your ideas are actually heard.
- Competitive salary based on experience.
