Key responsibilities
  • Develop plant and equipment layouts for proposals and projects, including flowsheets, equipment selection and sizing, and general arrangements, with clear reasoning behind each choice
  • Hand complete designs to the costing team so bids are priced on what will actually be built, and support each bid through to award
  • Present and explain designs to clients on site and in meetings, including the trade-offs behind each choice
  • Troubleshoot equipment and plant problems on site: diagnose, propose a fix, and see it through with the client and the team
  • Carry out engineering calculations and selections covering throughput and capacity, drives, structures, wear and materials
  • Produce and check drawings, from concept GAs to fabrication detail, in Autodesk Inventor, and work with the drawing office on the rest
  • Feed site learnings back into the company’s designs and equipment range, including standardisation, improvements and new designs
Minimum requirements
  • BEng, BSc(Eng) or BTech in Mechanical Engineering
  • 3 to 8 years’ experience in heavy industry, ideally minerals processing, materials handling or mining equipment, with real exposure to plant layout or equipment selection
  • 3D CAD proficiency (Autodesk Inventor is used)
  • Understanding of fabrication and installation, so that your designs can be built and maintained
  • Comfortable on site and confident working on a machine that is not performing
  • Able to explain technical choices in plain language and stay calm when challenged
Advantageous
  • Progress toward ECSA registration
  • Autodesk Inventor experience
  • Comminution (crushing, milling and screening) experience
You are a steady, practical engineer who can hold a technical position with a client and change it when the facts say so, and who is happy to work across departments in a small team.
