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 bridges Engineering, Supply Chain, Package Management, manufacturers and proposal teams, and also leads the Seal Project package as the technical reference for sealing and low‑friction solutions.

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 for sourcing strategies, supplier selection and make‑or‑buy decisions.
• Act as the main interface with manufacturers, reviewing documentation, managing technical issues, deviations and supporting inspections and FATs.
• Contribute to proposals by defining realistic manufacturing strategies, cost drivers and risk assessments.
• Lead the end‑to‑end seal package: technical definition, supplier coordination, risk management and industrial follow‑up.

Required profile

• Engineer diploma in a relevant discipline.
• 5‑10 years of experience in oil & gas or industrial sectors.
• Strong background in mechanical design and manufacturing.
• Proven experience working with suppliers and external manufacturers.
• Excellent interface skills across engineering, supply chain and projects.
• Solution‑oriented, structured and pragmatic mindset.
