Mechanical Engineer

location: Rotterdam, Netherlands 

My client design and build cutting-edge engineering systems to make offshore wind happen at scale.

They supply engineering equipment across many technology areas, to enable key offshore operations such as wind turbine foundation installation, burial and installation of subsea cables, and the lifting & handling of wind turbine components.

About This Role:

  • Mechanical Engineer is technically capable, and driven, in equal measure. You're an energetic all-rounder, owning your project from start to finish, and collaborating closely with your colleagues to overcome any obstacles thrown your way.

  • The offshore wind industry is growing fast, and their projects are too. There’s lots to work on, with opportunities to take ownership and make a genuine difference to our business outcomes.

  • You must be willing to get stuck in, combining your technical nous with strong communication, and lateral thinking, to ensure that they deliver On Spec, to Budget and In Time.

Your Responsibilities:

You'll be part of a live project team, working closely with your teammates to design and build each engineering system. You may be assigned different roles project-to-project, and your core responsibilities include:

  • Helping design innovative systems from first principles, from concept through to detailed design, while maintaining technical excellence.

  • Supporting on schedule delivery by effective management of your project deliverables.

  • Managing supplier progress, holding regular meetings and in-person support.

  • Preparing technical documentation & design calculations for peer review, and checking third party documentation.

  • Preparing for and carrying out testing, commissioning and mobilisation activities.

  • Liaising with other business functions, including finance and HSSEQ, for support and guidance.

  • Supporting your teammates by sharing your knowledge and insights in working groups and presentations, where applicable.



About You:

  • Open minded with a keen to learn attitude.

  • First rate communicator.

  • Self-motivated and persistent in getting from A to B.

  • Diligent in attention to detail.

  • Adaptable when unexpected challenges crop up.



Your Experience:

  • A degree-level qualification, or equivalent, in a technical field, such as Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Offshore Engineering, Marine Engineering, or Naval Architecture.

  • The ability to work with Autodesk Inventor software.

  • Proficiency in hand calculations, through to Staad and FEA.
