Mechanical Engineer - Industrial & Traction Systems
An international, market-leading engineering organisation operating in highly specialized industrial sectors is seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to support its engineering function. This role perfectly blends hands‑on engineering expertise with project and customer coordination, playing a key part in the overhaul, testing, and lifecycle management of complex, heavy‑duty mechanical drivelines and connecting systems.
You will work closely with cross‑functional internal teams - including Sales, Production, and Quality - as well as external clients, driving technical investigations while ensuring products meet strict performance, quality, and contract requirements. This is a delivery‑focused role requiring robust technical judgement, strong problem‑solving skills, and the ability to act as the primary technical face to the customer.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead Technical Support & Investigations: Provide hands‑on engineering support for overhaul projects, including condition assessments, job pack creation, and conducting detailed fault, warranty, and failure investigations.
* Manage Engineering Documentation: Prepare, review, compile, and approve technical reports, method statements, material comparisons, and component overhaul instructions.
* Drive Engineering Changes: Create and manage engineering change proposals, production permit requests, and concessions to conclusion, ensuring accurate Bill of Materials (BoM) management.
* Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with internal departments such as Purchasing, Shop Floor, Quality, and Projects to support daily operations and uphold high engineering standards.
* Client Engagement: Act as the leading technical representative in client meetings, managing customer communications regarding failure investigations, and providing trusted on‑site technical support.
* Quality & Safety Compliance: Ensure all work, technical documentation, and product specifications align with company procedures and ISO 9001:2015 quality systems.
Requirements
* Education: Minimum of an HNC/HND (or equivalent qualification) in a mechanically biased engineering discipline.
* Professional Experience: A minimum of 6 years of proven engineering experience with a well‑balanced background in general mechanical engineering, testing, and technical process writing.
* Industry Background: Solid knowledge of heavily regulated sectors, ranging from Mobility (Rail and Marine) to Power, Oil, and Gas or heavy industrial sectors.
* Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of engineering first principles, mechanical driveline systems (such as gearboxes, shafts, couplings, or coolers), and BS 8888 technical documentation standards.
* Operational Awareness: Good familiarity with overhaul production processes and the impact of technical decisions on commercial contracts.
* Core Attributes: Highly proactive, agile, and resilient with excellent technical communication skills and a genuine enthusiasm for solving complex mechanical problems.
What’s Offered
* Competitive salary dependent on engineering experience.
* Highly stable career path within a globally recognized, tier‑one industrial engineering business.
* Opportunity to work on high‑value, complex heavy‑machinery and green‑energy transport systems.
* Collaborative workspace with strong scope for independent task management and technical ownership.
