• Component specification and selection – Support the selection and specification of mechanical components aligned with technical tender requirements, safety standards, and mechanical integrity.
• High‑quality engineering documentation – Produce accurate, detailed engineering drawings (parts, assemblies, wiring, cables, layouts) and maintain technical specification documents, checklists, and manuals.
• Bespoke mechanical design – Design mechanically sound custom components, ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance.
• Design change management – Identify, assess, and implement design modifications driven by customer, site, or project needs, following formal engineering change processes.
• Installation, commissioning, and field support – Apply site awareness and field considerations to improve installation and commissioning efficiency and support on‑site troubleshooting when required.
• Testing, verification, and maintenance support – Create, maintain, and support test procedures, maintenance instructions, and verification tools in collaboration with HV training and technical specialists.
• Cross‑functional collaboration – Liaise with Customers, partners, commercial, and internal service departments to ensure coordinated successful delivery of projects and customer requirements.
