About your job 
In this position, you lead the mechanical scope of complex projects from concept to completion – securing resources, managing budgets and assessing risks. You act as a sub-project manager for the mechanical portion, ensuring every design meets rigorous standards and regulations.

Your profile  
A relevant university degree or the equivalent experience forms the foundation of your technical expertise. You have several years’ experience as a mechanical design engineer – especially with customized deliveries and product development – and are comfortable navigating different standards, legislation and client requirements. Project management experience is important, and you bring extensive experience from the mining, or similar process industries. Business acumen is second nature, with a strong grasp of cost calculations and supplier interactions. Acting in a truly global environment calls for fluency in English.  

Strategic thinking guides your work, always aligning with organizational goals. Your communication and interpersonal skills are top-notch, allowing you to build strong relationships. Problem-solving is in your DNA, and you make data-driven decisions with integrity and high ethical standards. You thrive in cross-functional teams, embrace new challenges, and stay ahead of industry trends.
