Job Title
Mechanical Engineer Lead
Job Description
As a Mechanical Engineer Lead you have the opportunity to work on interesting, international sorting systems. Are you the one who can
translate a sales system design into an operational system? Do you like to navigate projects into the right direction and guide these from head to tail.
From Sales to Go-live
As Mechanical Engineer Lead, you'll be responsible for leading multidisciplinary projects. You are in the driver seat to achieve the defined project goals, managing time, quality, costs and functionalities on mechanical, electrical and on controls perspective. Together with your colleagues you will also identify and capitalize synergies between multiple projects that are running in parallel to learn from others.
Once rewarded by our customer, our sales colleagues will do a handover to engineering. At this handover, the customer requirements and the as-sold solutions are being explained. This is the input to startup the engineering phase. In the definition phase of the engineering, together with your lead engineers, you'll be in close contact with the customer and project management to agree on all system functionalities.
In this definition phase you also develop your plan of approach, considering aspects like project planning, required resources, supply chain and on-site installation and commissioning.
When there is a mutual agreement between the project team and customer about the defined system design, the detail phase of the engineering starts. In the detail phase of the engineering, your team will create specifications to startup production and procurement. In this stage you’ll be in close contact with our internal supply chain and our third party suppliers to secure quality, planning, logistics and costs. Once production and procurement is ongoing, system emulations are being coordinated by you to validate the controls design. Furthermore, you and your team will prepare site installation and commissioning.
When the customers building is ready for Vanderlande to enter, it’s time to rock-and-roll! Installations on site will start, meaning that the digital 3D models on your PC-screen are getting touchable in real life! If the physical installation is done, you’re guiding the controls engineers in their commissioning and testing of the system in practice. Once everything is functioning properly, acceptance tests with the customer will take place and you will join the go-live celebrations.
In general, as a Mechanical Engineer Lead you are continuously identifying and mitigating project risks. You know how to make optimum use of and further develop the skills of your project team members. Besides leading your own projects, you’ll be kept up-to-date on most recent equipment and process developments. Your suggestions for better working methods and/or process improvements are highly appreciated within our organization. Are you that decisive person with a pragmatic and enthusiastic approach we’re looking for? Apply now for this great adventure! What do we ask from you;
