About The Position
Our client is an innovative leader in the industrial engineering and mining solutions sector, dedicated to delivering specialized equipment, operational excellence, and technical precision. They are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead end-to-end design and project delivery for high-performance mining equipment and industrial infrastructure. In this role, you will bridge advanced SolidWorks CAD modeling with project management to deliver robust engineering solutions tailored to the Australian resources sector. You will collaborate directly with cross-functional teams, fabricators, and clients to drive operational efficiency, product reliability, and engineering safety standards across complex site applications.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent qualification.
- 5+ years of mechanical engineering design experience, ideally within heavy industry, mining, or machinery manufacturing.
- Proven track record supporting Australian clients or working within Australian engineering standards and business environments.
- Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks for complex 3D assembly modeling and detailed drafting.
- Demonstrated experience managing engineering projects from concept through execution with minimal oversight.
Nice To Haves
- Strong knowledge of relevant Australian Standards (e.g., AS 1100, AS 4024, AS 3990).
- Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software (e.g., SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS).
- Hands-on field experience with mining equipment commissioning, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
- Strong client-facing communication and stakeholder management skills.
Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end mechanical design, modeling, and detailing of heavy machinery, materials handling systems, and structural components using SolidWorks.
- Manage full-lifecycle engineering projects from initial scoping and conceptual design through to fabrication, site installation, and commissioning.
- Perform mechanical design calculations, structural analysis, and design verification to meet client operational requirements and safety regulations.
- Interface directly with Australian clients, fabricators, and field engineers to manage project timelines, deliverables, and technical variations.
- Produce comprehensive engineering documentation, including detail drawings, general arrangements, Bill of Materials (BOMs), and maintenance manuals.
- Conduct Design Risk Assessments (Safety in Design/HAZOP) and ensure all fabrications align with strict quality and safety protocols.
