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’re confident with turbine/generator auxiliaries, water-conveyance systems, pressure equipment, and civil-mechanical interfaces.
- You manage vendors and stakeholders well, own outcomes, and quantify advantages.
- You work autonomously and collaboratively in a client-facing, project-paced environment.
- You can travel occasionally to sites across NZ and Australia.
