What are my responsibilities?

• Prepare project mechanical layouts using Revit (mandatory), AutoCAD, and Autodesk Inventor.
• Develop manufacturing drawings and manage installation drawings (including sections and supporting documentation such as clash reports).
• Coordinate with other engineering disciplines (Electrical, Steelworks, PLC/IT, etc.) to ensure design integration.
• Prepare BOM/BOQ/RFQ for procurement of mechanical equipment in line with project specifications.
• Coordinate technically with suppliers to finalize equipment selections and support SAP processes for material ordering (including material number creation where applicable).
• Prepare and submit design documentation for client approval (e.g., material submittals, O&M manuals, functional descriptions), and address client/consultant comments.
• Manage building interfaces (space requirements, accessibility, safety, architectural constraints) and check building drawings (MEP/FLS/architecture/structure) to generate clash reports/drawings.
• Support site execution through design surveys, handling site problem reports/open points, responding to technical queries, and supporting snagging and commissioning teams as required.
• Prepare accurate as-built documentation and maintain compliance with established engineering standards and procedures.
• Maintain a strong focus on quality, safety, and client satisfaction.

What do I need to qualify for the role?

• BSc Mechanical Engineering + 3 years experience, or Diploma + 5 years experience.
• 2–3 years minimum experience in a mechanical design environment, ideally within conveying/logistics technology (BHS/CHS exposure is an advantage).
• Strong working experience in Revit (mandatory); experience in AutoCAD 2D/3D and tools such as Inventor/Navisworks is an advantage.
• SAP knowledge (including creating material numbers) is a plus.
• Strong English communication skills (written and verbal).
• Willingness to travel locally/internationally and work effectively in an international environment.
• Basic understanding of mechanical equipment safety standards (e.g., Machine Directive / EU norms).
• Structural calculation experience is a plus.
• Team-oriented, organized, eager to learn, and continuously improve.
