Mechanical Lead

Are you ready to take the next step in your engineering career and make a real impact by leading projects where your ideas turn into real-world solutions? At business area Rock Processing, every day brings new challenges – whether it's developing unique products, ensuring safety in extreme environments, or collaborating with experts across the globe.

In this position, you lead the mechanical scope of complex projects from concept to completion – securing resources, managing budgets and assessing risks. You act as a sub-project manager for the mechanical portion, ensuring every design meets rigorous standards and regulations. You bring ideas to life using CAD and CAE tools, create detailed engineering drawings, and validate product performance before handing over to production.

You also:

• Analyze equipment specs and process requirements to deliver practical, compliant designs.
• Collaborate across divisions and functions, integrating feedback from stakeholders like sales, development, and project managers.
• Make cost calculations for ETO projects from a mechanical perspective.
• Take responsibility for EHS in every aspect of your work.

The location for this position is Svedala. Some national and international travel is part of your job.

A relevant university degree or the equivalent experience forms the foundation of your technical expertise. You have several years' experience as a mechanical design engineer – especially with customized deliveries and product development – and are comfortable navigating different standards, legislation and client requirements. Project management experience is important, and you bring extensive experience from the mining, or similar process industries. Business acumen is second nature, with a strong grasp of cost calculations and supplier interactions. Acting in a truly global environment calls for fluency in English.

Strategic thinking guides your work, always aligning with organizational goals. Your communication and interpersonal skills are top-notch, allowing you to build strong relationships. Problem-solving is in your DNA, and you make data-driven decisions with integrity and high ethical standards. You thrive in cross-functional teams, embrace new challenges, and stay ahead of industry trends. A proactive mindset and a commitment to continuous improvement help you succeed in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment.
