We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer for our Client, preferably with own CAD system and software, ideally AutoCAD 2010 and/or a 3D pipe-work system,  e.g. Inventor or MEP.  The contract is based in Cambridgeshire and will potentially involve time working ‘on-site’(Huntingdon) and office-based work for our Client (Peterborough).

This contract involves work based around a site that burns timber and other waste, thereby producing a gas which is then used to generate electricity.

There are 3 main areas of focused/detailed mechanical design required – i.e. Dust Extraction; Tar Handling; Ash / Char Handling.  A further area of responsibility will include bringing the site to Health & Safety Regulation Legal Standards in terms of gates at the top of ladders, hand-railing etc.  Further work in this area may follow once minimum legal requirement has been met to further enhance the safety on the site. All work to follow CDM regulation.

The ideal candidate will have an all-round mechanical design knowledge, including specific experience on piping/process/P&ID sizing and specifying equipment such as rotary valves, screw conveyors, bellows and creating CAD drawings/details/material lists including all necessary equipment and pipe-work supporting brackets etc.  Process design is not required but process comprehension and an awareness of product flow, rates etc including some areas of pipe-work at high pressure and 600 degrees C . Liason with suppliers and customer is also an integral part of this contract.

This will be an active, often ‘hands-on’ and extremely busy working environment – site work will need personal protective equipment (boots, goggles, hard-hat, high-viz jackets as minimum) - this can be provided as client will potentially require client identification when working on site.  An acute awareness / attention to risks and hazards when working on-site will be imperative. The site has a planned outage starting 3^rd May ready for installation work to begin with a completion on the initial stages required by the 23^rd May.  Some mechanical design work will be required prior to the 3^rd May, but this will be confirmed once CV’s have been reviewed.

You will need to be a very confident and capable individual, comfortable with working under pressure and to tight deadlines and happy to work a 40 hour week.
