Job description

Overview

  • Diverse ANZ projects with real, data-backed impact, especially in hydro.
  • Up to $120k salary plus additional benefits
  • Development & training within a 40 person, multi-disciplinary team.

Bring your SolidWorks design and analysis skills to a tight-knit, multi-disciplinary team across hydro, energy, and heavy industry. You will turn smart models into practical site outcomes - then prove the gains with data.

The role

Reporting to the Design Team Leader, you will own end-to-end engineering on brownfield projects : you will scope, model, specify, support install / commissioning, and then validate performance. Day to day, you will deliver efficient solutions across hydro assets (from small component redesigns to large plant and machinery) spanning R&D, design, manufacture, installation and final commissioning.

What you will do

  • 3D modelling & design (SolidWorks) plus FEA (SolidWorks Simulation) to de-risk decisions.
  • Scope and plan work; manage cost, schedule, and risk in live plant environments.
  • Write specs, run vendor evaluations, and support procurement of major components.
  • Partner with site teams to turn designs into reality; measure efficiency / availability improvements.
  • Use point-cloud → CAD workflows; communicate trade-offs, options, and ROI; drive continuous improvement.

    • About you

  • 6+ years in mechanical design / analysis (hydro or process-plant ideal).
  • Mechanical Engineering degree (CPEng desirable).
  • You review calculations and drawings to a high standard.
  • You manage vendors and stakeholders well, own outcomes, and quantify benefits.
  • You work autonomously and collaboratively in a client-facing, project-paced environment.
  • You can travel occasionally to sites across NZ and Australia.
