With over 40 years of experience, we provide specialized engineering expertise and workforce solutions across the Energy, Mining, Oil & Gas, Infrastructure and Industrial sectors.

For one of our international clients, a major player in the mining industry, we are currently seeking an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to contribute to a large-scale mining and mineral processing development project in Namibia.

The project involves the assessment, optimization and engineering development of existing mining infrastructure and processing facilities, with a strong focus on technical reliability, operational efficiency, safety and long-term sustainability.

This opportunity offers the chance to work on a technically challenging international mining project, collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams, EPC/EPCM contractors and specialized equipment suppliers.

Job Description

Reporting to the Engineering Manager, the Senior Mechanical Engineer will be responsible for overseeing and coordinating mechanical engineering activities throughout the detailed design and project development phases.

The successful candidate will ensure that mechanical systems, equipment and associated engineering deliverables comply with project specifications, international standards, operational requirements and safety expectations.

Key Responsibilities:

Mechanical Engineering & Detailed Design

  • Lead and review mechanical engineering activities related to mining operations and mineral processing facilities.
  • Oversee the design and engineering of crushing systems, conveyors, stacking equipment, material handling systems, pumps, tanks, agitators, piping networks and associated mechanical packages.
  • Review and validate mechanical engineering deliverables, including equipment lists, technical datasheets, design calculations, general arrangement drawings, piping layouts and 3D models.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable engineering standards, technical specifications and project design criteria.
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary design reviews with Civil, Structural, Electrical, Instrumentation and Process Engineering teams.
  • Identify opportunities to improve equipment reliability, maintainability, operational performance and lifecycle costs.

Engineering Coordination & Contractor Management

  • Supervise and technically review mechanical engineering activities performed by EPC/EPCM contractors and external engineering consultants.
  • Coordinate technical interfaces between engineering contractors, equipment manufacturers, suppliers and project stakeholders.
  • Review vendor documentation, equipment specifications and technical submissions.
  • Manage technical queries, engineering deviations and design modifications through established change management procedures.
  • Monitor engineering progress, identify technical risks and recommend corrective actions.

Procurement & Equipment Management

  • Prepare and review mechanical equipment specifications and technical requisitions.
  • Participate in technical bid evaluations and supplier selection processes.
  • Review vendor drawings, equipment datasheets and documentation to ensure compliance with project requirements.
  • Provide technical support during equipment procurement, manufacturing and delivery.
  • Participate in vendor inspections, Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and quality assurance activities.

Construction, HSE & Commissioning Support

  • Provide mechanical engineering support during construction, equipment installation, pre-commissioning and commissioning.
  • Review equipment erection, alignment, inspection and testing requirements.
  • Participate in HAZID, HAZOP and technical risk assessment workshops.
  • Ensure that equipment design considers occupational safety, accessibility, lifting operations, wear resistance, corrosion and maintenance requirements.
  • Support the resolution of site technical queries, non-conformities and engineering modifications.
  • Contribute to mechanical completion activities and commissioning readiness.

Project Performance

  • Support engineering schedules, resource estimates and technical progress reporting.
  • Contribute to project cost estimates and CAPEX assessments for mechanical equipment and installations.
  • Identify risks associated with long-lead equipment, engineering interfaces and design changes.
  • Report technical progress, challenges and recommendations to the Engineering Manager.
