Mechanical Engineer – Design & Documentation
* Production of schematics and valve schedules.
* Check and submit client submittals and manufacturing drawings, ensuring BOM accuracy.
* Prepare accurate specifications, reports, and other project documentation, aligning with budget, timeframe, and quality objectives.
* Manage engineering design drawing revision control, ensuring all updates are accurately maintained.
* Develop and implement structured methodologies for New Product Introduction (NPI) to support smooth transitions from design to full‑scale production.
* Liaise with customers and internal stakeholders to update drawings, block diagrams, and schematics, and upload technical files to the database.
* Work closely with structural engineering organisations to receive pipe‑stress analyses, ensure any resulting design changes are captured mathematically and reflected accurately in project documentation.
* Maintain full traceability by documenting all process modifications, changes, and improvements within the BOM structure and routing system.
* Oversee the engineering change control process, ensuring timely and accurate implementation of design changes.
* Participate in DFMA workshops to support value engineering (VA/VE) and standardisation of products.
Production & Process Support
* Provide proactive technical support to production teams, ensuring seamless execution of build plans, minimizing downtime and ensuring smooth operations.
* Collaborate with production personnel to troubleshoot issues and develop robust, timely solutions.
* Manage the Non‑Conformance Report (NCR) process to address defects and implement corrective and preventive actions.
* Ensure full compliance with health, safety and environmental regulations, embedding best practices to uphold workplace safety and operational integrity.
* Maintain accurate and up‑to‑date documentation of all process modifications, changes and improvements within BOM structure and routing system, maintaining full traceability.
What We’re Looking For
* Education: Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering or a related field, or equivalent qualification.
* Relevant industrial experience, highly experienced Mechanical PI&D designer.
* Substantial experience in manufacturing engineering, process engineering or a similar role, ideally within process plants, HVAC, capital equipment or large infrastructure projects involving multidisciplinary electro‑mechanical facets.
* Working experience with PLM, PDM or ERP systems. Understanding of BOM generation is advantageous.
* Strong knowledge of structured problem‑solving techniques such as 8D problem‑solving.
* Proficiency in managing BOM structures and routing.
* In‑depth expertise in manufacturing processes and materials, including fabrication, welding, structural steel, building construction and associated trade disciplines. Proven experience in modular build environments and compliance with standards such as EN 1090.
* Proficiency in CAD software (e.g. SolidWorks) and other engineering tools.
* Extensive experience with lean manufacturing and continuous process improvement methodologies in a low‑volume, high‑value manufacturing environment.
* Expertise in defining manufacturing and quality‑related standards, originating visual standards, SOPs and work instructions, and delivering training to skilled personnel.
* Knowledge of Quality Management Systems (QMS) (e.g., ISO 9001).
* Strong project management and organisational skills.
* Effective communication and teamwork abilities.
Why Armstrong Fluid Technology?
