POSITION INFO:
A leading engineering organisation is seeking an experienced Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with a strong background in FEA, DEM and mining equipment design to join its engineering team. This is an excellent opportunity for a Pr Eng registered Mechanical Engineer who combines advanced design and simulation expertise with practical mining site experience . Key Responsibilities Lead and execute mechanical design projects from concept through to detailed design and implementation. Develop and optimise mining equipment and mechanical systems using advanced engineering principles. Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations. Develop engineering models and simulations using ANSYS and preferably Rocky DEM . Analyse structural integrity, loading conditions, stress, deformation, fatigue and equipment performance. Translate simulation and analysis results into practical design improvements. Produce and review detailed engineering drawings, calculations and technical specifications. Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, clients, fabricators and site personnel. Conduct site assessments, inspections, troubleshooting and technical investigations. Provide engineering support during fabrication, installation, commissioning and operation. Ensure designs comply with applicable engineering standards, specifications and safety requirements. Prepare and review technical reports, calculations and engineering documentation. Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and designers. Participate in design reviews, risk assessments and project meetings. Apply practical mining experience to ensure designs are robust, maintainable and fit for purpose. Minimum Requirements Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline. Pr Eng registration with ECSA is essential. Ideally 28-35 years of age , with the maturity and technical capability required for a senior design position. Proven experience specialising in mechanical design and engineering analysis . Strong practical experience in FEA and DEM . Experience with ANSYS is essential\/preferred. Experience with Rocky DEM will be highly advantageous. Mining industry experience is essential. Proven practical site experience within mining, minerals processing or heavy industrial environments. Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, loads and structural behaviour. Ability to interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation. Strong analytical, problem-solving and technical communication skills. Advantageous Experience Mining equipment and bulk materials handling experience. Conveyors, chutes, crushers, screens, feeders or other heavy mining equipment. Structural and fatigue analysis. DEM modelling of bulk materials and material flow. Equipment optimisation based on simulation results. Experience taking designs from concept through fabrication, installation and commissioning . Experience working directly with mining clients and site teams.
