We are supporting a client delivering large-scale, technically complex, and fast-track engineering projects across Semiconductor sector.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer (Design) who can lead the full mechanical engineering design lifecycle - from concept development and tendering through construction, commissioning, and final project delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the conceptual and detailed design of mechanical systems for large and complex engineering projects.

• Develop mechanical design solutions while considering technical performance, constructability, cost, programme, sustainability, and client requirements.

• Prepare preliminary construction budgets and cost estimates for mechanical systems during the design and planning stages.

• Establish project sustainability objectives and ensure these requirements are incorporated throughout the project lifecycle.

• Review mechanical designs prepared by engineers and designers to ensure compliance with contractual, technical, and client requirements.

• Review and manage mechanical tender documentation, tender clarifications, technical evaluations, and contract award activities.

• Implement design review processes, checklists, and progress tracking to maintain design quality and project schedules.

• Conduct and participate in internal multidisciplinary design reviews together with engineering leadership.

• Represent the Mechanical Engineering team in client meetings, technical discussions, design workshops, and coordination sessions.

• Identify potential design, cost, or programme issues and develop effective recovery and mitigation plans.

• Provide technical support during construction and commissioning, including troubleshooting, site investigations, surveys, technical assessments, and system performance reviews.

• Support RFQ pricing, technical report preparation, commercial evaluations, and final account assessments where required.

• Promote strong safety practices, professional engineering standards, and effective collaboration across project teams.

• Mentor and guide junior and intermediate Mechanical Engineers to strengthen overall technical capability.
