Mechanical Design Engineer

Roles and responsibilities

• Prepare various project layouts with the help of multiple layout tools and develop manufacturing drawings.
• Prepare BOM, BOQ, and RFQ for procurement of mechanical equipment in coordination with suppliers.
• Prepare and submit design documentation (like O&M manuals, material submissions, functional descriptions, etc.) for customer approval.
• Address client comments with respect to contract requirements and supplier specifications.
• Coordinate building interfaces (space requirements, architectural collisions, accessibility, safety, etc.).
• Check building drawings (like MEP, FLS, Architecture, Structure, etc.) with Layout and generate clash reports/drawings.
• Create installation drawings with sections and other documentation and handle site technical queries.
• Support installation and commissioning teams on-site when needed.
• Generate as-built documentation.
• Work closely and coordinate across various departments like Structural, Electrical, PLC Commissioning and Software, Site Installation, Procurement, and Logistics teams.
• Manage and ensure that all project quality procedures applicable to design are being followed.
• Responsible for following occupational health, safety, security, environment and quality as stipulated in the Project HSSE Plan and Project Quality Plan, respectively.
  

What do I need to qualify for the role?

• Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Mechanical Engineering.
• Minimum 4 years of professional experience in Mechanical Design and Layout in the logistics automation domain, specifically in Baggage Handling or Cargo Handling Systems.
• Hand-on experience with AutoCAD 2D & 3D, Revit, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and PowerPoint. Other software experience (like Inventor and Navisworks) will be an added advantage.
• Knowledge of the SAP System and creating new material numbers is a plus.
• Strong language skills in English, both verbal and written.
• Willing to travel locally or internationally.
• Basic knowledge of mechanical equipment safety standards (i.e., Machine Directive, EU Norms).
• Experience in structural calculation is a plus.
• Teamwork spirit, leadership skills, organizational capacity, and eagerness to improve.
