Mechanical engineer for demanding design tasks in an international environment
Role highlights
Internship
Permanent
Mid
On-site
This mid-level mechanical engineering role requires expertise in advanced machinery design for demanding industrial environments such as mines and steelworks. The candidate should demonstrate comprehensive experience across all project phases, including concept development, detailed design, production, and testing. Proficiency in object-oriented CAD systems, particularly SolidWorks, is essential, alongside solid experience conducting finite element method (FEM) analyses on components and full designs. Core mechanical design skills are fundamental, with additional interest or knowledge in hydraulics or electrical control considered advantageous. The role demands a systematic and structured approach to problem solving, the ability to independently manage tasks while collaborating effectively within an experienced international team, and a quality-oriented mindset. Strong written and spoken English communication skills are required to navigate the multicultural work environment. Candidates should exhibit entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, and the capacity to integrate their expertise with external specialist knowledge. While management ambitions are a plus, recent graduates with relevant skills are also encouraged to apply. The position offers the opportunity to work on entire projects within a small, innovative organization that values cutting-edge technology and provides significant creative freedom. Limited travel may be involved, and the role supports professional growth in a global context. A bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related field underpins the educational requirements for this position.
