An established Lower North Island engineering business is seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to join the team in a senior capacity.

The business delivers specialist industrial engineering solutions across heavy mechanical systems, structural steel, material handling equipment and custom-engineered industrial projects.

This is a practical, delivery-focused engineering role suited to someone who enjoys solving real-world engineering problems and working closely with workshop and operational teams to deliver buildable solutions.

The Role

You will play a key role across mechanical design, technical problem solving and project delivery while supporting clients and fabrication teams across a diverse range of industrial projects.

The role may suit someone with experience in:

  • Heavy mechanical engineering
  • Structural steel and fabrication environments
  • Industrial plant and equipment
  • Materials handling systems
  • Custom-engineered industrial projects

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and review mechanical design work
  • Develop practical and buildable engineering solutions
  • Support tendering and technical documentation
  • Work closely with fabrication, machining and site teams
  • Liaise directly with clients, suppliers and contractors
  • Support project delivery and continuous improvement initiatives

About You

  • Mechanical engineering background with practical industrial experience
  • Strong understanding of fabrication and heavy engineering environments
  • Experience working around industrial equipment or heavy steel structures advantageous
  • Comfortable operating autonomously within a smaller engineering business
  • Practical mindset with strong problem-solving capability
  • Chartered status beneficial but not essential
