As Senior Mechanical & Thermal Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in advancing thermal design and system performance - from concept to production. You'll be part of a, multidisciplinary team focused on developing high-efficiency heat transfer systems suitable for scalable commercial manufacture across Oil&Gas, Chemical, Petrochemical, Power, Renewables. You'll bring a deep understanding of thermal dynamics, simulation, and heat exchanger design, alongside the ability to translate theory into practical, manufacturable solutions. Key Responsibilities • Lead the thermal and mechanical design of innovative heating and cooling systems., • Design and evaluate heat exchangers and heat transfer mechanisms to optimise energy performance., • Oversee prototype development, testing, and design validation in collaboration with internal and external partners., • Apply design-for-manufacture (DfM) principles and guide make-versus-buy decisions., • Conduct thermal and CFD simulations using tools such as ANSYS, Comsol, or equivalent., • Prepare detailed technical documentation, test reports, and specifications., • Lead engineering risk assessments and de-risk design elements early in the product lifecycle., • Degree-qualified in Mechanical, Thermal, or Aerospace Engineering (or related discipline)., • 10+ years' experience in thermal engineering, • Strong understanding of heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics., • Proven experience with thermal modelling and simulation software., • Skilled in heat exchanger design, testing, and validation.
