This is an exciting opportunity to make your mark on a fast-growing company.
The Role
As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you will part of the small team driving our product engineering program. We manufacture premium technical products for the mining industry in a discrete manufacturing system that is 100% build-to-order. Every product we make is customised via either a ‘configure-to-order’ (CTO) or ‘engineer-to-order’ (ETO) process. We are building out our Design Engineering team to help expand our world-leading product range and develop a best-in-class internal engineering capability to support our rapid growth.
Key responsibilities will include:
· Application engineering
· Product design (CTO/ETO)
· Pre-production engineering
· Design for manufacture
· Review & approve cost estimates
· Review & approve drawings
· Job quality requirements
· Engineering standards & systems
This is a new role coming at a critical stage in our company’s growth. You will help drive the transformation of our product design & engineering systems to allow us to scale from current $60m production from a single plant to over $250m from multiple plants in 3-5 years’ time. We are committed to building a best-in-class internal engineering capability with strong investment in people and systems.
This role will report to our Design Engineering Manager (new role to be hired) and will be based at our Salisbury (Brisbane) plant, with paid relocation if required. We are aiming to hire high-potential talent who will perform exceptionally and progress to take on more responsibility in the business.
