As the Mechanical Calculation Engineer, you will work closely with the discipline manager to organise the team and ensure the closure of site queries in compliance with HPC project milestones. You will interact with different stakeholders to support the successful completion of the project. Your role will involve performing mechanical stress analyses, proposing modifications, and maintaining quality assurance procedures in delivering the design.
