Are you a Senior Mechanical Engineer from a heavy industry background looking to become a technical expert? Are you looking to join an industry-leading manufacturer that offers PE License training?


On offer is the opportunity to be directly mentored to gain your PE License. This company will support you throughout the process and provide you with the resources needed to achieve your license, with several PE-licensed engineers already on staff, helping you develop into an industry-leading expert.


This industry-leading heavy machinery manufacturer continues to grow year over year and is looking to expand its machinery portfolio and the engineering processes that support it. The company is also investing in the expertise of its engineering department to strengthen its engineering function and support new and existing product programs.


In this role, you will work closely with design teams, taking ownership of cost analysis, bills of materials, calculations, tolerances, and capabilities, while supporting testing, development, troubleshooting, and customer performance improvements. You will gain cross-functional exposure to equipment and systems while developing your technical expertise as an industry specialist.


This role would suit a mechanical engineer with a passion for the heavy machinery industry, who is looking to develop their skills and knowledge to become a technical expert and looking for long-term technical progression to gain a PE License.


The Role:

  • Full product lifecycle responsibility: concept, testing/development, and customer performance.
  • Cost analysis, BOMs, calculations, tolerances, capabilities, and mechanical documentation.
  • System-level engineering across machinery interactions.


The Candidate:

  • Hands-on experience producing/checking mechanical designs, documentation and engineering deliverables (BOMs, calculations, tolerances, capabilities).
  • Experience supporting testing/development and troubleshooting for the entire product lifecycle.
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or closely related: Mechatronics / Aerospace / Robotics – mechanical focus).
  • Passion for the heavy manufacturing industry.


This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Mechanical Engineer who wants technical progression, broader system-level exposure and the chance to build a reputation as the go-to engineer across complex machinery.
