Mechanical Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Design & Development: Develop mechanical designs for various projects, including HVAC systems, piping, structural components, and mechanical assemblies, ensuring compliance with technical specifications and industry standards.

• Project Support: Collaborate with project teams to provide mechanical engineering input on design, specification, and execution of mechanical systems.

• Analysis & Calculations: Perform mechanical system calculations (eg, stress analysis, thermal analysis, fluid dynamics) to ensure systems are optimized for performance, safety, and efficiency.

• Prototyping & Testing: Oversee the development and testing of prototypes and components, conducting mechanical testing to validate designs before full-scale production.

• Documentation: Produce and maintain detailed engineering documentation including technical specifications, CAD drawings, reports, and procedures.

• Vendor & Supplier Liaison: Work closely with suppliers and manufacturers to source components, ensuring cost-effective solutions and quality compliance.

• Health & Safety: Ensure designs and installations meet relevant health, safety, and environmental regulations, including conducting risk assessments and adhering to safety protocols.

• Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify opportunities to enhance mechanical systems, improve efficiency, and reduce costs through design modifications or process improvements.

Required Qualifications:

• Degree: A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or a related field) from a recognized institution.

• Experience: 3-5 years of professional experience in mechanical engineering, preferably in [specific industry, eg, building services, industrial systems, manufacturing, etc.).

• Software Skills: Proficiency in CAD software (eg, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor) and mechanical design tools; knowledge of simulation tools (eg, ANSYS, COMSOL) is a plus.

• Knowledge: Strong understanding of mechanical systems design, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and material science.

• Project Management: Experience in supporting or managing the technical aspects of mechanical engineering projects from design to completion.

• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with multidisciplinary teams and clients.

• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex mechanical systems.

Desired Skills and Attributes:

• Adaptability: Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining high standards of work.

• Team Collaboration: Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team, while also being able to take initiative when required.

• Attention to Detail: High attention to detail in design and implementation, ensuring quality, safety, and compliance with standards.
