Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

As a senior engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the development, design, implementation and optimisation of mechanical systems and processes in high-energy-use environments. Your work will directly impact the energy performance of Ireland’s most energy-intensive industries.

• Mentor junior engineers and support cross-functional teams in delivering integrated energy solutions.
• Identify new technologies and methods for improving energy efficiency and sustainability in mechanical systems.
• Lead the mechanical design and execution of energy-related projects, including HVAC upgrades, compressed air systems, heat recovery, steam systems, refrigeration and process cooling solutions.
• Collaborate with clients to understand energy goals, define project scopes, and present technical solutions and reports to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
• Develop mechanical engineering specifications, technical drawings, and tender documentation for energy and decarbonisation projects.

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will bring robust mechanical design and project leadership expertise to support and drive energy efficiency and decarbonization projects across a wide range of industrial sectors.

• Chartered Engineer status or eligibility is desirable.
• Advanced proficiency in mechanical engineering design, Utilities Design including thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer principles.
• Full clean driving license and willingness to travel to client sites as required.
• Strong project management skills including scheduling, budgeting, contractor coordination, and reporting.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
• Ability to mentor junior team members and support knowledge-sharing in a collaborative environment.
• Expertise in preparing design specifications, detailed reports, and construction documentation.
• Data Analysis & Problem Solving
• Analytical mindset with ability to interpret site data, model energy systems, and generate actionable insights.
