Descripción del empleo

About the role

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer specialized in structural systems to join our engineering team for industrial energy projects (e.g. thermal storage, packaged boilers, modular plants). This role is critical for ensuring the reliability, feasibility, and integration of structural designs, which are typically developed by third‑party engineering firms or suppliers.

The engineer will focus on reviewing and validating external structural calculations, verifying structural interfaces and interferences with plant equipment, ensuring accessibility, and proposing design improvements that optimize cost and schedule.

Responsibilities

• Review and validate structural calculations, including nodes, joints, and load combinations, provided by third‑party design firms.
• Ensure structural designs comply with applicable codes (Eurocode, ASME, AISC, etc.) and project specifications.
• Assess integration of structures with plant equipment, piping, tanks, and access platforms.
• Identify and resolve interferences or conflicts between structures and other disciplines (mechanical, electrical, civil).
• Evaluate design proposals in terms of constructability, accessibility, maintenance, and optimization of cost and execution time.
• Participate in design reviews (model and document‑based) and interface with suppliers and construction teams.
• Prepare or oversee structural verification reports and risk assessments.
• Recommend design improvements based on experience in industrial environments.
• Design minor static structures for piping and cable trays.

Required skills & experience

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or Structural Engineering with mechanical background).
• 5+ years of experience in structural engineering within industrial or energy projects.
• Solid understanding of steel structures, supports, connections, and interaction with heavy equipment.
• Experience reviewing third‑party engineering packages and verifying structural integrity.
• Familiar with 3D model coordination (Navisworks, SolidWorks, Inventor, Revit, etc.) and structural analysis tools (e.g. STAAD, Robot, RFEM, SAP2000).
• Strong knowledge of relevant design codes (Eurocode, ASME, EN, AISC).
• Fluent in English (B2 minimum).
• Knowledge of CYPE Ingenieros and TEKLA Software.

Nice to have

• Experience in thermal systems (boilers, tanks, thermal storage, pressure vessels).
• Knowledge of construction planning, lifting strategies, and modularization.
• Experience with vendor package reviews, fabrication drawings, and manufacturing tolerances.
• Understanding of multidisciplinary coordination and plant layout constraints.
