Senior Mechanical Design Manufacturing Engineer

About the role

The Senior Mechanical Design Manufacturing Engineer ensures that mechanical designs are fully industrialised, manufacturable and aligned with project execution, supply‑chain strategies and business objectives. The role acts as the primary bridge between engineering, supply chain, package management, manufacturers and proposal teams, while also leading the Seal Project Package across all projects.

Key responsibilities

• Optimise mechanical designs for manufacturability, assembly, inspection, testing, cost and schedule.
• Review and challenge design choices (materials, tolerances, machining, welding, coatings, assembly sequences) to reduce risk and improve industrial robustness.
• Define manufacturing assumptions, critical industrial parameters and manufacturing philosophies from early project phases.
• Provide manufacturing input to support sourcing strategies, supplier selection and make‑or‑buy decisions.
• Support supply‑chain package managers during tendering, bid evaluations, technical clarifications and supplier negotiations.
• Act as main interface with manufacturers to ensure compliance with technical requirements, quality standards and schedules.
• Review and validate manufacturing documentation, manage technical issues, deviations and support inspections and FATs.
• Lead and coordinate the seal package end‑to‑end, ensuring consistency, robustness and standardisation of seals and low‑friction solutions.

Required profile

• Engineer diploma in a relevant discipline.
• 5 to 10 years of experience in Oil & Gas or industrial sectors.
• Strong mechanical design and manufacturing background.
• Proven experience working with suppliers and external manufacturers.
• Excellent interface skills across engineering, supply chain and projects.

Required skills

• Mechanical design
• Manufacturing process optimisation
• Materials selection and tolerance analysis
• Machining, welding and coating technologies
• Assembly sequence planning
• Inspection and testing procedures (including ITPs and FATs)
• Industrialisation of seal and low‑friction solutions
• Supplier and manufacturer liaison
