Manager Mechanical Design

The opportunity

As a Mechanical Design Manager, you will lead a team within our mechanical engineering function, where the development of mechanical and electromechanical products and systems is at the core. The work spans instruments, controls, robots, engines, machines, and thermal-hydraulic or heat-transfer systems used in the production, transmission, measurement, and use of energy.

In this role, you apply advanced engineering research to the planning, design, development, and testing of mechanical and/or electromechanical systems. As a leader, you supervise a team of professional engineers-typically at entry or experienced level-and may also oversee para-professional employees. You ensure that your team understands and follows established policies, practices, and procedures, and you represent the function towards customers and stakeholders.

As a leader here, you set the tone: You foster a culture of clarity, accountability, collaboration, and technical excellence. Through clear direction and constructive dialogue, you guide your team to deliver high-quality results while supporting their growth and development.

How you'll make an impact

• Set goals and objectives for team members to ensure strong operational performance.
• Provide day-to-day leadership, support, and oversight to a team of engineers and para-professionals.
• Ensure policies, procedures, and engineering standards are understood and followed.
• Drive the team's output to meet safety, integrity, financial, and delivery requirements.
• Support development, research, planning, design, and testing of mechanical and electromechanical systems.
• Address technical and operational challenges-typically difficult but not highly complex-with sound engineering judgment.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and customers to ensure effective communication and alignment.

Your background

• You hold a university degree in Engineering or have equivalent technical experience.
• Experience in supervising or coordinating engineering teams is beneficial, but not mandatory.
• You are a structured, decisive leader with the ability to guide professional-level staff.
• You can balance operational tasks with long-term planning and development needs.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, enabling trust and effective collaboration.
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken; additional language skills are a merit.
