About the Role
You'll be involved in a range of activities, from supporting key tenders and client presentations, to supplier meetings, product customisations to helping to create new features and reducing the carbon footprint for existing products. The role requires a high level of creative thinking and problem solving, in addition to a strong blend of mechanical engineering, technology and product development knowledge. You will be a highly effective collaborator with the ability to build robust and influential relationships with key internal and external partners and stakeholders whilst working seamlessly with the local Engineering, Procurement, Operations and Business Development teams, as well as European teams, as required. This role will also require you to visit our construction sites across the UK on occasion, travel to our Sawtry depot to work on test designs and monthly visits to our suppliers in Europe and Bauer Media Outdoor EU locations to give them in person support.
Responsibilities
- Perform mechanical engineering tasks including concept creation, design feasibility, 3D development, detailed design, value engineering, design optimisation, and FEA simulation.
- Utilize CAD/CAM/CAE driven processes to create eBOMs and drawings.
- Optimise installation and in-life operation and maintenance processes.
- Continuously seek to minimise cradle-to-gate embodied carbon and in-life energy use, integrating low carbon materials.
- Support prototyping, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), and post-manufacturing activities including test installs, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and first on-street installations.
- Create, review, and maintain appropriate documentation such as Test Reports and Engineering Design Reviews (EDR) in collaboration with internal teams.
