Mechanical Project Engineer

Mechanical Engineer  Full Time | Permanent

An established international engineering organisation is seeking a Mechanical Project Engineer to join its growing solutions team.

This position offers the opportunity to work on complex retrofit, upgrade and life-extension projects for indsutrial equipment across the power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical and industrial sectors. The business has a long-established reputation for delivering engineering solutions that improve site performance, efficiency and operational reliability worldwide.

This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who enjoys practical problem-solving and project delivery, rather than purely conceptual design work. You will be involved throughout the project lifecycle, from feasibility and bid support through to site implementation and customer engagement.

The Role

Reporting to the Lead Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for developing safe, practical and manufacturable engineering solutions for retrofit and upgrade projects.
Key responsibilities include:

• Developing mechanical designs, layouts and installation solutions for existing plant and equipment.
• Translating customer requirements, site constraints and laser scan data into engineered solutions.
• Producing and reviewing AutoCAD and 3D models.
• Supporting site surveys, condition assessments and technical investigations.
• Developing dismantling, lifting and installation methodologies.
• Coordinating technical interfaces across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Supporting FEED studies, proposal activities and customer discussions.
• Ensuring compliance with CDM requirements, health and safety standards and quality procedures.
• Working closely with project teams, fabricators, suppliers and site personnel to resolve technical challenges.

About You

We are keen to speak with engineers who combine strong mechanical engineering fundamentals with a practical and solution-focused approach.
You will ideally have:

• Degree preferred or HNC in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• At least 3 years' experience in a project-driven engineering environment.
• Experience delivering retrofit, upgrade, brownfield modification or turnkey engineering projects.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and 3D modelling software, ideally Inventor.
• Understanding of site installation activities, fabrication and manufacturing processes.
• Experience developing installation, dismantling or lifting methodologies.
• Knowledge of CDM regulations and site safety requirements.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage confidently with clients and stakeholders.

Particularly Relevant Backgrounds

Applications are welcomed from engineers with experience in:

• Power generation
• Gas transmission
• Oil & Gas
• Petrochemical
• Process industries
• Industrial plant engineering
• Mechanical project engineering

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Opportunity to work on technically challenging international projects.
• High levels of responsibility and project ownership.
• Exposure to multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Career development within a growing and successful engineering organisation.
• A varied role combining engineering, project delivery, customer interaction and occasional site work.
