The role offers the opportunity to work on international projects, collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams. Specific projects initially in India and Australia working directly with the UK technical expert and product owner for Package Substations.

Role Purpose

The Mechanical Design Engineer will be responsible for the end-to-end mechanical design of package substations and outdoor enclosure & work closely with the global PSS OTL. The role focuses on delivering robust, manufacturable, and compliant solutions that meet customer requirements while ensuring structural integrity, operational safety, ease of installation, and cost-effective fabrication.

The successful candidate will contribute to both project execution and continuous product improvement by leveraging existing designs and developing new package substation platforms for global applications.

Key Responsibilities

Develop detailed 3D models and assemblies for package substations, enclosures, and associated equipment using Creo.

Create efficient equipment layouts that optimise accessibility, maintainability, ventilation, safety clearances, and installation requirements.

Adapt and enhance existing package substation designs to improve speed, quality, and standardisation.

Design new package substation structures and enclosure solutions based on customer-specific technical requirements.

Specify structural materials, sheet metal components, steel grades, coatings, and corrosion protection systems.

Generate manufacturing-ready engineering drawings incorporating GD&T principles and applicable fabrication standards.

Prepare technical documentation and engineering data packages for seismic, vibration, and finite element analysis activities.

Support manufacturing, sourcing, and project teams during design reviews and product industrialisation activities.

Collaborate with global engineering teams across India, the UK, and Australia to deliver customer projects on schedule and to quality standards.

Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on design standardisation, cost optimisation, and product reliability.

Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.

Minimum 5 years of experience in mechanical design of package substations, electrical enclosures, switchgear assemblies, transformer installations, skids, or structural steel systems.

Advanced proficiency in Creo for 3D modelling, assembly design, and drawing generation.

Experience designing structures intended for outdoor and harsh environmental conditions.

Working knowledge of fabrication processes including sheet metal design, welding, machining, and structural steel manufacturing.

Good understanding of international standards relating to structural design, fabrication, and corrosion protection.

Strong knowledge of GD&T and engineering drawing best practices.

Ability to independently develop new concepts while leveraging & improving existing product designs. Strong communication skills & ability to work effectively with global, cross-functional teams.

Preferred Skills

Experience with package substations, e-houses, prefabricated electrical rooms.

Familiarity with IEC 62271-202 standards relevant to substation and enclosure design.

Exposure to FEA tools or interpretation of simulation results.

Knowledge of lifting standards and transportation design requirements.

Experience working in multinational engineering organisations.

Some simulation experience would be a bonus.
