Job Description Summary

The Power Conversion, Rotating Machines Engineering Team is responsible for the design and engineering of world class generators and motors, delivering optimised solutions in line with the requirements from various customers.

Reporting to the Engineering Team Leader, Mechanical Engineers support and work on projects and mechanical deliverables required by the engineering department. They are involved with machine lifecycle design from enquiry to remittance, commissioning and eventual disposal. We work across a variety of industries including; Oil & Gas, Marine, Renewables, Industrial (Metals and Mining) and Naval.

From customer specifications, Mechanical Engineers must establish and drive technical strategy in order to design a machine that is fully compliant with regulations and our Engineering Design Standards. As part of their project teams, they ensure that the machine will perform properly and in accordance with customer specifications.

Job Description

Essential Responsibilities

• Working as part of a Project Team to support the design, build and delivery of the product whilst ensuring focus on key fundamentals: Safety, Quality, On Time Delivery (OTD) and Cost- always with unyielding integrity.
• Perform calculations and develops machine design whilst following Engineering Design Standards and Process Flows: detailed mechanical engineering analysis and design on all components required for large, custom rotating equipment. Calculations include stress analysis, torsional analysis, rotor dynamic analysis, thermal analysis, hydrodynamic bearing analysis, etc. This will require using in-house design software, finite element software and hand calculations.
• Ensure right first time quality, maintaining a zero defect mind set performance, and proactively manage Non Conformance Report (NCR) resolution.
• If designated, lead the engineering element of the project team (designers & drafters) to deliver drawings, BOMs and specifications to Manufacturing and Sourcing in a timely manner to ensure we meet our OTD and ensure contract execution budget related commitments (eliminating margin erosion).
