Job description

Senior Mechanical Engineer / Process Plants & Industrial Equipment Specialist

Are you an experienced mechanical engineer with a strong background in industrial process plants, heavy equipment and material-handling systems?

Do you enjoy taking responsibility for complete mechanical solutions—from engineering calculations and detailed design through manufacturing, installation and commissioning?

We are looking for a hands‑on Senior Mechanical Engineer to develop, engineer and commission mechanical systems for industrial process plants and heavy industrial equipment delivered to customers worldwide.

This is a remote position, allowing you to work from anywhere. However, international travel to factories and customer sites for engineering, inspections, testing, installation, commissioning, troubleshooting and technical support is an essential and expected part of the role.

Your responsibilities

• Mechanical engineering and design of industrial process plants and equipment
• Engineering and design of pressure vessels, pressure autoclaves and tanks
• Design and specification of pumps, valves and industrial piping systems
• Performing mechanical engineering calculations and verifying designs against applicable requirements
• Structural steel design and strength calculations
• Design of moving mechanical equipment and material-handling systems
• Mechanical design of machinery incorporating structural steel and heavy mechanical components
• Developing 3D CAD models, assemblies and detailed manufacturing drawings
• Preparing engineering documentation, specifications, BOMs and technical documentation
• Selecting and specifying mechanical components, materials and industrial equipment
• Working with manufacturers, fabricators and suppliers throughout the production process
• Reviewing manufactured equipment and components for compliance with engineering requirements
• Supporting mechanical FAT and SAT activities
• Supporting and participating in manufacturing, installation and assembly of industrial equipment
• Commissioning and troubleshooting mechanical systems at customer sites internationally
• Identifying root causes of mechanical problems and developing practical corrective solutions
• Providing technical support to customers during installation, commissioning and operation
• Preparing clear mechanical engineering and project documentation
• Collaborating closely with automation, electrical and software engineers throughout the entire project

Although your normal workplace can be anywhere in the world, this is not a purely desk‑based engineering position. You must be willing and able to travel internationally and work directly with machinery, process equipment and industrial installations at factories and customer sites.

Mandatory documented professional experience

Applicants must have documented, hands‑on professional experience in the following areas:

• Industrial process plants
• Pressure vessels, pressure autoclaves and tanks
• Pumps, valves and industrial piping systems
• Structural steel design and strength calculations
• Moving mechanical equipment and material-handling systems
• Mechanical design of machinery incorporating structural steel
• Manufacturing and installation of industrial equipment

Candidates must have practical experience taking industrial equipment from engineering and calculations through detailed design, manufacturing and installation/commissioning.

General mechanical engineering experience without relevant industrial process plant and heavy equipment experience is not sufficient.

We are specifically looking for an engineer who understands the complete lifecycle of industrial mechanical equipment - not only the design phase, but also how equipment is manufactured, assembled, installed, commissioned and operated in a real industrial environment.

Documented project experience is essential

Candidates must be able to demonstrate actual industrial projects in which they were personally responsible for relevant mechanical engineering work.

Your application should include details of at least 3 directly relevant industrial projects.

For each project, please describe:

• The industrial process plant, machinery or equipment involved
• The size and nature of the installation
• The pressure vessels, tanks, piping, pumps, valves or other process equipment involved
• The structural steel and mechanical systems designed
• The material-handling or moving equipment involved
• Your personal responsibility and scope of work
• The engineering calculations and design work you performed
• The CAD and engineering systems used
• Your involvement in manufacturing and fabrication
• Your involvement in installation, testing and commissioning
• Any technical problems or engineering challenges you personally solved
• The final operational result

Academic qualifications and training courses are valuable, but they are not sufficient on their own.

We are looking for someone who has personally taken relevant industrial equipment from engineering and calculations through detailed design, manufacturing, installation and commissioning.

Application – Documentation Required

To be considered, please submit:

CV and relevant qualifications

Details of at least 3 directly relevant industrial projects

Your personal responsibility and scope of work on each project

Relevant software, engineering systems and programming languages

Years of experience within the required specialist areas

Current location and availability

We may request project references, drawings, calculations, programming examples or other documentation demonstrating the stated experience.

Applications that do not demonstrate the mandatory relevant experience will not be considered.

The person we are looking for

You are a practical, structured and experienced mechanical engineer who is comfortable taking ownership of complex industrial engineering projects.

You understand that good mechanical engineering is not limited to producing drawings. You are able to evaluate loads, materials, structural integrity and equipment functionality, and you understand how engineering decisions affect manufacturing, installation, commissioning and long‑term operation.

You remain calm when technical problems arise and are able to identify the root cause and develop practical engineering solutions.

You are comfortable working independently in a remote environment while coordinating closely with customers, manufacturers, suppliers and other engineers.

You understand that successful process‑plant projects require close cooperation between mechanical, structural, electrical, automation and process engineering.

Applicants must be Singapore Permanent Residents.

The role also requires strong professional communication skills in English and a willingness and ability to travel internationally when projects require on‑site presence.

What we offer

• The freedom to work remotely from anywhere
• Challenging international industrial process‑plant projects
• Responsibility for complete mechanical engineering solutions
• International travel and hands‑on engineering, installation and commissioning experience
• Close cooperation with an experienced international engineering team
• The opportunity to work with complex industrial machinery, process equipment and material‑handling systems
• The opportunity to influence the design and development of future industrial process plants and equipment

If you want the flexibility of remote work while also seeing your engineering solutions become real industrial equipment operating in complete process plants around the world, we would like to hear from you.
