Job Description:

Torftech is a design engineering and intellectual property business that earns income from licensing and selling its proprietary TORBED and TORWAVE processors (www.torftech.com). Widely used in the food, mineral, and waste industries for processes such as gas scrubbing and calcination, these are gas-solid contacting devices designed to improve process efficiency. The TORWAVE technology allows for the presentation of materials to microwaves in a way that overcomes traditional obstacles. Our machines facilitate hydrocarbon substitution, waste recycling, and energy efficiency, positioning us at the forefront of green industrial processes. We are a small, close-knit team characterized by curiosity and intellectual rigor. As our business expands, we are looking to hire an experienced mechanical engineer to succeed our current senior engineer. We offer competitive remuneration and the chance to work with expanding technologies.

Candidates should have at least 10 years of experience with high-temperature industrial process plant and materials handling, including refractory design and installation. Reporting to the managing director, you will work independently after familiarization with our technologies and will eventually take responsibility for the mechanical engineering functions within the group. Your work will encompass conceptual process design, detailed drawing and design work, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of existing plant. Key prerequisites include intellectual rigor, technical knowledge, good communication skills, and the ability to manage and collaborate effectively. Responsibilities include:

1. CAD drawing using Inventor at conceptual and manufacturing stages
2. Reviewing fabricators’ drawings for quality and accuracy
3. Fault diagnosis and rectification
4. Implementing maintenance and spares management
5. Conducting tests on pilot plants
6. Managing the mechanical engineering team
7. Liaising with suppliers to ensure component quality
8. Supporting procurement processes
